Namco, once dubbed as the highest inland lake in the world, is located at an altitude of 4,718 meters, north Tibet.

Namco areas boast numerous scenic spots and diversified geographic features, such as snowbergs, wetlands, Gobi deserts, lakes and swamps.

It's also the "holy lake" to the Tibetan Buddhists. Pilgrims walk around the lake repetitively as a kind of practice.  It attracts lots of pilgrims and visotors each year.
