Close-up view of Namcha Barwa Peak from the South Peak Base Camp

At the easternmost end of the Himalayas, Namcha Barwa Peak, standing at 7,782 meters and rated as "China's Most Beautiful Mountain" by China National Geography, quietly towers within the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon. Here lies a perfect spot—the South Peak Base Camp, located within the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon Scenic Area in Milin City, Nyingchi. It was from Camp 1 here that the Sino-Japanese joint mountaineering team made their ascent, and since then, this "one in ten rarely conquered" snow mountain has had no further summit records. The South Peak Base Camp hiking route is 5.2 kilometers long, with an elevation gain from 2,960 meters to 3,260 meters, taking about 2 hours one way. Here, you can admire the magnificent Namcha Barwa Peak up close and feel the overwhelming power of nature. During the hike, you will be immersed in stunning natural scenery, gaining relaxation and surprises. There is a direct shuttle from Nyingchi city to the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon Scenic Area. If you yearn to embrace nature and challenge yourself, embark on an unforgettable South Peak Base Camp hiking adventure!
