Eastern Nyenchen Tanglha Traverse

Route Introduction

  • The eastern Nyenchen Tanglha traverse starts from Lulang or Bomê and threads more than a dozen alpine lakes and snow passes over 150 to 200 km, lasting nine to twelve days between 3,000 and 5,300 m.
  • Primeval forest, glacial lakes, and the cloud-driven climate of southeastern Tibet create scenery of the highest order—and weather of the harshest.
  • One of China's most demanding technical treks, it crosses several 5,000 m passes and needs full expedition gear; go only with a professional team, respect the weather windows, and carry satellite communications, as rescue is difficult here.
