Rising out of the lush forested valleys of South-Eastern Tibet, Namcha Barwa is considered
one of Tibet's most inaccessible peaks. Beautiful to behold in its impenetrable serenity,
it still remains (after a failed 1991 Japanese and Chinese expedition), the highest
unclimbed peak of the Himalayas.
The bulk of its massif causes the
East flowing Tsangpo River, the highest flowing river in the world, to make a huge loop
around the mountain to flow southward into India where it becomes the mighty westward
flowing Brahmaputra.
Beginning in Lhasa and taking in
a preliminary route through Samye and Tsedang, we follow the course of the Tsangpo close
to the disputed Indian border area to arrive at the village of Lusha near the big bend in
the river. Passing through villages of the Loba people(a Tibetan minority group), we make
our ways through the forested region of Pei to the Namcha Barwa Base Camp. The relatively
low altitude of the base camp area(1600m.) affords astounding views of the vertical snow
capped peak of Namcha Barwa(7756m.). After a circumambulation of the holy mountain of
Atsom Neh, we continue to the Gyala monastery before making our return to Lhasa via Gongbu
Jiangda and Ganden.
This route offers more than the
usual share of daily excitement and promises a captivating experience in what must be one
of Tibet's most interesting and remotely beautiful areas.
