Heavenly reflections - Lake Namtso

Qinghai,
Tibet


Lake Namtso, meaning "heavenly lake" in the Tibetan language, is located in the north of Tibet (220 km from Lhasa). It's the highest lake in the world and an important pilgrimage destination for Tibetan Buddhism. The water of Namtso is supplied by melted ice and snow from the surrounding Nyainqntanglha Mountain and has an amazing deep blue color. This image was taken at sunset, allmost from the opening of our tent on the shores of the lake. How heavenly can it get....!
