Seven magnificent and majestic snow-capped mountains within the territory of Tibet
The Roof of the World—the Tibetan Plateau, is not only home to the world's highest peak but also boasts a series of famous mountain ranges.
These mountains, like a backbone, set up the grandeur and vastness of the Tibetan Plateau, carrying people's hopes and blessings.
1, 🏔 Mount Everest (elevation 8848.86 meters)
It is the main peak of the Himalayas and the highest mountain in China and the world. In Tibetan, 'Zhumu' means 'goddess,' and 'Langma' means 'mother elephant,' which together signify 'Mother of the Earth.' Mount Everest has a giant pyramid shape, standing tall and majestic, reaching into the sky. As the world's highest peak, it attracts countless gazes. Its grandeur is imposing, draped in a thin veil of snow, resembling a celestial maiden.
2, 🏔 Mount Kailash (elevation 6656 meters)
It is the second highest peak of the Gangdise mountain range, with its snow-covered summit shining golden in the sunlight. Its pyramid-like shape is distinct from the surrounding peaks and is also considered a sacred mountain by devout followers.
3, 🏔 Mount Kula Kangri (elevation 7538 meters)
Located in Lhozhag County in the Shannan region of Tibet, it is known as one of the 'Four Great Sacred Mountains' of central Tibet. The entire snow mountain is composed of three peaks. Standing alongside Mount Kula Kangri are six peaks over 7000 meters high. From a distance, the peaks stand shoulder to shoulder, resembling a towering ice and snow barrier that reaches the sky.
4, 🏔 Namcha Barwa (elevation 7782 meters)
It is the highest mountain in Nyingchi, Tibet Autonomous Region. As the sacred site of Tibet's oldest Buddhist tradition, 'Yungdrung Bon,' it is known as the 'Father of Tibetan Mountains.' Its massive triangular peak is perennially snow-covered, shrouded in mist, and rarely reveals its true face, earning it the nickname 'Shy Girl Peak.'
5, 🏔 Shishapangma (elevation 8027 meters)
It is an 8000-meter peak entirely within Chinese territory. In Tibetan, Shishapangma means 'the weather is extremely cold, and the climate is harsh and variable,' but the Tibetan people praise it as an 'auspicious sacred mountain.' Its north slope has a glacier valley over 10 kilometers long, with a forest of ice towers shining like a 'crystal garden.' However, it is also covered with crisscrossing ice and snow crevasses and occasional massive ice and snow avalanches, making climbing extremely difficult.
6, 🏔 Mount Sajama (elevation 6956 meters)
Located in Yangxiu Township, Biru County, it has stood here for thousands of years, surrounded by mountains, with its main peak revered as the king of local sacred mountains. Its highest peak is 6556 meters, also known as 'Sapuganglaga,' and is one of the sacred mountains of the Bon religion in Tibetan Buddhism.
7, 🏔 Cho Oyu (elevation 8201 meters)
It is the sixth highest peak in the world, located on the border between China and Nepal in the Himalayas. 'Cho Oyu' in Tibetan means 'the great master.' Cho Oyu stands tall and mighty in the Himalayas. Cho Oyu has five main ridges, and its mountain is perennially snow-covered, surrounded by snow peaks, with layers of mountains presenting a spectacular view.
Let's appreciate the photos of the snow-capped mountains taken by friends who travel to Tibet! 🏔
The scenery is first-rate, the environment is very good, the air is fresh, suitable for a few more days, you can see Rizhao Jinshan, of course, it is rare, but there is hope in the heart, hahaha, the local taste is also more suitable for mainlanders, the taste is partial Sichuan, it is worth a visit, that is, I feel that the fare is slightly more expensive. It's a revenue generation for local compatriots.
Location: Located in Millinpai Town, the navigation can be directly reached. The scenic spot is divided into the south bank and the north bank. The south bank is the main tourist attraction. The north bank is mainly for accommodation! About tickets: If you choose the north bank accommodation, you also need to buy tickets. Go to the south bank and make up a range ticket! The scenery: mainly to see Nanga Bawa Peak, but unfortunately 10 people 9 did not meet!
There is a different experience to watch Nanga Bawa Peak in the multi-dimensional aspects of the land and water. I feel the mystery of Nanga Bawa Peak. The towering tower of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. I sit under the tent and eat Tibetan snacks. I close my eyes and rest my mind.
To be honest, there is no price-performance ratio. The legends of the great rivers and mountains in the motherland belong to the people. But now the people have to pay money wherever they go, otherwise it is difficult to walk. All my five-star praise is for Nanga Bawa. It is so beautiful. I have seen him since I didn't charge 20 years ago. Whether it is wind, frost, snow, or rain, I didn't let me run thousands of kilometers in vain every time. Every time I arrived, he appeared. So five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ are for him.
It's good to walk anywhere you haven't been. Get up early and detour to see the sunrise and Jinshan, and you can watch the sunset at night. It depends on the weather, and it is not seen every day. It depends on the luck of the day.
. First time to Tibet, it is so beautiful, I like it very much, really, very beautiful, paradise
