If you ask us whether you can go to visit Namtso Lake in winter, we would say “absolutely no” in the past as the road to Namtso would be closed from mid-October to April due to heavy snow, but now it is “YES”. Yes, tourists can go to Namtso Lake in winter since 2012.
Beautiful Scenery at Namtso in Winter
Most tourists only see the beauty of Namtso in summer. But the Namtso Lake is also fascinating, mainly characterized by magnificent snow-capped mountains, precipitous glaciers and beautiful islands in winter. Since this November, Namtso Lake Scenic Area launches winter tour to Namtso between November 1st and April 30th after the operation of the
Namtso National Park. What an exciting piece of news! It means that the Namtso Lake will not be closed to tourists in winter and tourists would have the chance to enjoy rare-visited breathtaking natural scenery.

Another piece of good news is that the admission price of this scenic spot will be decreased from 120RMB to 100RMB per person. In fact, the admission price of most scenic spots in Tibet will be decreased in winter, for example the price of Potala Palace will drop from 200RMB per person to 100RMB per person. Besides, the hotels in Tibet and airlines to Tibet will also give tempting discount in winter so as to attract more tourists.

Namtso Lake is the known as “heavenly lake” in Tibetan language and praised as the most beautiful holy lake in Tibet by tourists. It is popular among tourists both at home and abroad. We highly recommend the
6-day Lhasa and Namtso tour to you. Of course you can also extend your tour to Gyantse, Shigatse and other places of Tibet or Kathamdu, capital of Nepal.
Lhalu wetland located in north of Lhasa is the paradise for migrant birds in winter and also a great place for tourists to watch rare birds on Tibetan plateau.
We know that many tourists failed to get
Tibet permits due to the harsh policy on Tibet permit issued in this May, but maybe the policy will be loosened after National People's Congress held in mid-November. Therefore, tourists are highly recommended to make a winter
tour to Tibet this year. You will get a chance to see the charming Tibet in winter and experience Tibetan New Year, the grandest traditional festival for Tibetans. In additional, you can save much on the Tibet tour compared with a trip to Tibet during the peak tourism season of Tibet.
If you have experienced failure in applying Tibet permits this year, do not give up. We can help you arrange your Tibet permits as well as the tour as we have successfully got Tibet permits for hundreds of travellers in 2012 though it is very hard.
