The brave enjoy the world first! The most recommended hiking route in winter.

🍂 Kula Kangri in autumn and winter is so beautiful for hiking. From November, you can see the snow-capped mountains, the sky is high and clear, the forest is dyed, the lake is blue and clear, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the lake is frozen, and the starry sky is bright. This is my most recommended winter hiking route! 🏔 Kula Kangri has been called "Little Gama Valley" by many hikers in recent years. You can hike all year round, and the scenery is beautiful in all seasons. Along the way, you can see holy mountains, holy lakes, ancient temples, ancient towers, grasslands, National Highway 219, and other niche landscapes, as if walking on a map. 1⃣ Itinerary Q&A 🔸 Total hiking mileage: about 36 km 🔸 Total hiking time: 3 days 🔸 Hiking elevation range: 4,500 m–4,900 m 2⃣ Hiking intensity: ⭐⭐⭐, suitable for beginners 3⃣ Highlights of hiking here 🔸 Yumbu Lhakhang: The first palace in Tibetan history, which was converted into a temple during the reign of Songtsen Gampo, mainly enshrining the statue of Sakyamuni. 🔸 Samye Monastery: Built in the 8th century AD during the Tubo period, it is the first monastery in Tibet where monks were ordained.
