I want to see Namtso Lake
I want to see Namtso Lake but my trip is in late November. I read the road closes in winter. Will the 5-day Tibet Cultural & Natural Tour even run that month?

Namtso Lake access depends on snow conditions. Late November is borderline. If the pass closes, we substitute Yamdrok Lake, which stays accessible year-round and offers equally stunning cobalt waters against snow-covered peaks. The 5-day itinerary runs in all seasons with this flexibility built in.

November trip here. Namtso was closed, so they took us to Yamdrok instead. No regrets. The lake was deep blue with snow on the surrounding mountains. Our guide said Yamdrok is actually more beautiful in winter than summer because of the contrast.
