Located in the western part of Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR), southwestern Tibet, and at the center of the Changtang Plateau on the northern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Nagri Prefecture covers a vast stretch of land and has a sparse population.
It is home to dozens of holy lakes and mountains in Tibet such as the Mt. Kailash and the Mapam Yumco Holy Lake. The region still remains mysterious and untouchable for its high elevation and remote location. However, its splendid landscapes, typical customs and the strong air of Buddhism, still attract many adventures from home and abroad to let the land become earth under the feet.
Following are photos we collected to present you the breathtaking scenery and real life in Nagri.
