5.0/5

Outstanding

The foot of the glacier is 5,020 meters high, so climbing it really requires careful consideration. When the guide asked if we could rent oxygen tanks, I quickly raised my hand. Step by step, even with oxygen, it was difficult to climb. I felt exhausted. Then, a small lake appeared. Some people circled the lake and continued to ascend, so I gave up decisively. The movie "Red River Valley" was filmed here, making the Karola Glacier quite famous. Many travelers come here to admire the magnificent glacier and marvel at the charm of nature.

Karuola Glacier is located at the boundary between Nagarze County and Gyangze County in the south of Tibet. It leans on the south slope of Nojin Kangsan Mountain, one of the four largest mountains in Tibet. The top of the glacier is the ice cap with gradual slope, while the bottom is two ice tongues shaped as ice fall. Karuola Glacier is one of the three continental glaciers in Tibet, and it is also an outdoor shooting site, for multiple movies.
