 Mt. Namcha Barwa

Mt. Namcha Barwa is identified to be located in the southeast of Tibet Autonomous Region with its elevation of 7,788 meters above sea level.  It’s one of the world’s unconquered mountains to its height above 7,500 meters and at the same time, it’s also the highest peak in the eastern part of the Himalayas. Locally, people regard this Mt. Namcha Barwa as a “shy girl” as the apex of the mountain is sometimes seen to peek out from the mist. Furthermore, its peak is always capped with a transparent and whitish ice and snow, making it hard to view when it’s engulfed by the rage of “harsh” fog. Between Mt. Namcha Barwa and Mt. Naipeng, there sit three huge valley glaciers to the south that drain down to the greenery forest.

Mt. Gongga

Mt. Gongga is the highest peak in Sichuan Province, China with its height of 7556 meters above sea level. Covering an area of about 20000 km square, Mt. Gongga’s main peak is surrounded by over 100 ice-capped peaks of 5000 to 6000 meters (above sea level), forming a striking scenery. This mountain is very important to the Tibetan ethnic group. Its abundant natural scenic spots such as hot springs, transparent and whitish glaciers, rarely seen flora and fauna are definitely captured your soul and spirit. Along with these natural settings, you can also see some extraordinary temples and buildings built in the locally ethnic style, revealing the diverse and beauty culture. Of course, this visit is worth your penny!

Mt. Qomolangma

Mt Qomolangma is also known as Mt. Everest, the highest mountain which stands still on the border of Tibet and Nepal. Its height reaches up to 8,844.43 meters and its central part appears to be a pyramidal shape if one views it from south. Mt Qomolangma rises steeply to its northern part to a height of 3,600 meters. Its sharp peaks, steep walls, and U-shaped are some of its prominent features that highlight its surreal and amazing landscape. Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary are the only two explorers who managed to reach to get to summit of the Mt. Qomolangma.

Mt. Kangrinboqe

Located above 6,714 meters above sea level, Mt. Kangrinboqe is one of the scenic spots for many religions in China. This Tibetan mountain is the main peak of the Kangdese Mountains. Over hundreds of years, travelers, religious devotees and pilgrims keep on visiting this scenic spot for its many mystical legends and stories. It’s said that devout followers take about a year or more to reach to its sacred peak.
