Introduction
Naijingangsang, located in one of the four major snow mountains in Tibet, is like a quiet and beautiful woman, quietly dressing up and looking at the mountains in the distance. It is said that the closest glacier to the highway here is the Karola Glacier, which is only over 300 meters away from the highway. The Karola Glacier is located between Langkazi County and Jiangzi County, about 71 kilometers away from the county town of Jiangzi. Starting from Yamdrok Lake, passing through the 4,330-meter-high Simila Pass, you can reach the snout of the Karola Glacier. The front of the Karola Glacier reaches an altitude of about 5,560 meters, while the altitude for viewing the glacier is about 5,400 meters. Naijingangsang is the main peak of the Ragya Gangri Mountain located north of the Himalayas. It is said that this is the home of the western mountain god Nojikangwasangbu, one of the four major mountain gods in Tibetan Buddhism. Around Naijingangsang, there are more than 10 peaks above 6,000 meters, forming a magnificent scene. Address Karola Pass, Jiangzi County, Shigatse City, Tibet Autonomous Region
