Namcha Barwa

Namcha Barwa (Namchabarwa, གནམས་ལྕགས་འབར་བ།, Gnams lcags ‘bar ba, Namjagbarwa, 南迦巴瓦峰, Nánjiābāwǎ Fēng)

Namcha Barwa is located in Nyingchi Prefecture in an isolated part of southeastern Tibet that has few outside visitors. Standing inside the Great Bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, it is a lone peak just east of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. Guests can stay at the nearby Grand Canyon Inn (大峡谷客栈) for views of the mountain, river, and canyon.
