Some part of the road is in poor condition but the splendid landscape never fails to fascinate the tourists.Winding to the left from the fork in the road at Damxung County, tourists will get to the holy lake of Namtso.
There are regular buses from Lhasa to Damxung. Prices range from RMB¥60 to RMB¥100 depending on different vehicles. Tourists may rent a vehicle to enjoy the sightseeing in northern Tibet. Damxung is on the way from Lhasa to Namtso Lake and Nagchu. It is very convenient to rent a private car for getting around in the county. It is OK for visitors to hire a local car to have a trip to Namtso Lake.
