Scenic Drive from Nagarz\u00ea to Gyantse <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Langkazi (Nangartse, or Nagarze) is a small town with basic accommodations and a few restaurants. Most foreign visitors would drive another two hours to Gyantse<\/a> for lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We drive along the provincial highway No.307 and at the border between Nagarze County and Gyantse County lies the Noijin Kangsang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Noijin Kangsang is the highest peak ( 7,206m) of Lhagoi Kangri mountain range (\u62c9\u8f68\u5c97\u65e5\u5c71) in the Tibet Autonomous Region in China. It is also one of the four great snow mountains in the middle of Tibet. It lies between the Yarlung Tsangpo River, Yamdrok Lake and the Himalayas mountain range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The best time for mountaineering for Noijin Kangsang Peak is from April to May or September to October. On April 28, 1986, Sang Zhu, Bian Ba, Jia Bu and other 12 members of the Chinese Tibet mountaineering team reached the summit for the first time along the southwest ridge route from the southern slope of the peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are about 116 glaciers around the Ningjin Anti-sand peak, covering an area of 118.82 square kilometers, and ice and snow often collapse. The Karola Glacier (\u5361\u82e5\u62c9\u51b0\u5ddd) is the largest of these, measuring 9.4 square kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
