Lhabu Gyikang Mountain                                      Write a Review

A boundary mountain range of Nyalam and Tingri counties, there are three peaks of an elevation of mora than 7,000 meters form the east to the west and the highest is 7,367 meters above sea level. Around these peaks are icy mountain slopes and forests of icy pagodas. The wonderful scene is that there are many glacier lakes around them, with the bigger one of the lake Colangma on the northern foot.

It is not easy to climb up these peaks. The frequent snowslides, icefalls and stoneslides on the icy slopes bring a lot so difficulties to the mountaineering. In 1987, the Sino-Japanese joint mountaineering team was first successful in climbing up these peaks.

Luoze Mountain                                                     Write a Review

The fourth highest mountain in the world, the 8,516-meter-high Luoze Mountain is three kilometers to the south of Mt. Qomolangma. In Tibetan, Luoze means a green beautiful fairy maiden.

But this fairy maiden has precipitous steep and a changeable climate. From early June to mid-September, it has many snowslides and storms. In the winter the temperature will be -60 & deg.

In 1956, the Swiss mountaineering team was first to climb up the mountain from the western slope in Nepal. The mountaineering from the eastern slope in China is more difficult and there is no successful mountaineering record from the eastern slope.

The recommended itinerary: It takes 110 kilometers from Mew Tingri to the northern foot of Mt. Qomolangma via parco.
