Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon is the largest canyon in the world. It is located in the border town of Nyingchi, which is known as the "Holy Land for Backpackers". It has the ultimate beauty of a plateau, such as the bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, the most beautiful snow-capped mountain Namcha Barwa, Niyang River Basin, Daduka Castle, and Gyala Peri.
Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon starts from Daduka Village in Milin County in the north and reaches Baxika Village in Medog County in the south, with a total length of 504.9 kilometers, an average depth of 2800 meters and a deepest point of 6009 meters. Glaciers, precipices, steep slopes, mudslides, and huge rivers crisscross the whole canyon area. Many areas are still untouched, which can be called "the last secret land on the earth".
What you can see in Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon?
Namcha Barwa
Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon is the best place to watch Namcha Barwa, but only one-third of the year can see the true appearance of Namcha Barwa. Bring a telephoto lens when you go to the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon. If you are lucky enough to see the true face of Namcha Barwa, it is also a proud thing to record it with the lens and share it with friends.
Gyala Peri
Gyala Peri is 7294 meters above sea level, located outside the great bend of the Yarlung Zangbo River, facing Namcha Barwa across the river, and the two peaks are only 20 kilometers away. Like Namcha Barwa, the summit of Mount Galabelei is covered with snow and clouds all year round, but compared with Namcha Barwa, the chances of seeing Gyala Peri are much higher.
