Presentazione generale
Shuanghu and central Changtang
High-altitude lakes and steppic immensity surround an extreme settlement of the Tibetan north, without guaranteed tourist access.
Shuanghu Lakes, Changtang Lakes and Purog Kangri Lakes give the most telling landmarks of Shuanghu and Central Changtang Lakes. Together, they form a destination where the shores and lakes, mountain reliefs, wetlands and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, you must plan a fairly long day. To anticipate also: Tibetan permits and local permits indispensable and Kangri purog is not accessible to tourists. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Altitude lakes
Shuanghu Lakes
The territory Shuanghu is punctuated by large salty or brackish lakes, laid in the middle of a steppe well above 4,500 meters. Their observation depends entirely on the roads, permits and instructions of the moment; the banks serve first as habitat for wildlife and must not become improvised tracks.
Nature reserve
Plateau du Changtang central
The central Changtang combines cold steppes, marshes, lakes and low chains, including kiangs, gazelles and Tibetan antelope. Much of the area is protected: the interest lies in the scale of the landscape observed from the permitted routes, never in the pursuit of off-road wildlife.
Non-visitable ice cream
Glacier de Purog Kangri
Purog Kangri forms an immense radial ice field north of the Tibetan plateau, studied for its recent climate archives and retreat. It is listed here as a major geographical landmark, not as an excursion: the environment is extremely hostile and available sources indicate that it is not accessible to tourists.
