One unique feature of the spring sight here is that visitors can enjoy both the peach blossoms and the snow-capped mountains at the same time. The water Peach Blossom Fair is also an attraction in the area.
Bangong Lake National Forest ParkBangong Lake National Forest Park is an ideal place for bird watching in Tibet in spring. Due to the good ecological environment, the island boasts a good variety of bird species. Every spring, warm winds from the Bay of Bengal blow into the Ngari Plateau, birds that fly from the plateau to the South Asian continent the previous winter would return here to lay eggs and breed.
Namtso will present its most attractive scenery in March and April, which makes it a great place to visit in spring. In April, when the weather warms up and the snow melts, Namtso slowly wakes up. Visitors could enjoy a stunning view of half lake and half ice.
Lake ManasarovaLake Manasarova sits 4,500 meters above sea level in Purang county, Ngari prefecture. Snow melt from the Gangdise Mountains hugging the lake is the source for the nearby Yarlung Zangbo River as well as the mighty Ganges.
The Manasarova wetland is a key “climate regulator” on the plateau and home to more than 400 rare species including the black-necked crane and the Tibetan wild donkey.
