Namjagbarwa Peak — Attraction in Pé Township

Namcha Barwa or Namchabarwa (Tibetan:གནམས་ལྕགས་འབར་བ།, Wylie: Gnams lcags 'bar ba, ZYPY: Namjagbarwa; Chinese: 南迦巴瓦峰, Pinyin: Nánjiābāwǎ Fēng) is a mountainin the Tibetan Himalaya. The traditional definition of the Himalaya extending from theIndus River to the Brahmaputra would make it the eastern anchor of the entire mountain chain, and it is the highest peak of its ownsection as well as Earth's easternmost peak over 7,600 metres (24,900 ft).Namcha Barwa is in an isolated part of southeastern Tibet rarely visited by outsiders. It stands inside the Great Bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo River as the river enters its notablegorge across the Himalaya,[3] emerging as theSiang and becoming the Brahmaputra. Namcha Barwa's sister peak Gyala Peri at 7,294 metres (23,930 ft) rises across the gorge 22 kilometres (14 mi) to the NNW.Namcha rises 5,000–6,800 metres (16,400–22,300 ft) above the Yarlung Tsangpo.After 7,795-metre (25,574 ft) Batura Sar in theKarakoram was climbed in 1976, Namcha Barwa became the highest unclimbed independent mountain in the world,until it was finally climbed in 1992.

In addition to being one of the highest mountains in the world, Namcha Barwa is also the third most prominent peak in the Himalayas after Mount Everest and Nanga Parbat. Frank Kingdon-Ward described in the 1920s "a quaint prophecy among the Kongbo Tibetans that Namche Barwa will one day fall into the Tsangpo gorge and block the river, which will then turn aside and flow over the Doshong La [pass]. This is recorded in a book by some fabulous person whose image may be seen in the little gompa [monastery] at Payi, in...

南迦巴瓦峰或南迦巴瓦峰（藏语：གནམས་ལྕགས་འབར་བ།，威利语：Gnams lcags 'bar ba，ZYPY：Namjagbarwa；汉语：南迦巴瓦峰，拼音：Nánjiābāwǎ Fēng）是西藏喜马拉雅山脉的一座山峰。喜马拉雅山脉从印度河延伸至雅鲁藏布江，传统上将其定义为整个山脉的东部锚点，它是其自身部分的最高峰，也是地球上海拔超过 7,600 米（24,900 英尺）的最东端。南迦巴瓦峰位于西藏东南部一个很少有人到访的偏远地区。它位于雅鲁藏布江大拐弯处，雅鲁藏布江穿过喜马拉雅山进入其著名峡谷[3]，发源于西昂河，最终汇入布拉马普特拉河。南迦巴瓦峰的姊妹峰甲拉佩里峰海拔 7,294 米（23,930 英尺），横跨峡谷，位于西北偏北 22 公里（14 英里）处。南迦巴瓦峰高出雅鲁藏布江 5,000-6,800 米（16,400-22,300 英尺）。1976 年，喀喇昆仑山脉的巴图拉萨尔峰（海拔 7,795 米（25,574 英尺））被登顶后，南迦巴瓦峰成为世界上最高的未攀登独立山峰，直到 1992 年才最终被征服。

南迦巴瓦峰不仅是世界上最高的山峰之一，也是喜马拉雅山脉继珠穆朗玛峰和南迦帕尔巴特峰之后的第三大山峰。 弗兰克·金登-沃德（Frank Kingdon-Ward）在20世纪20年代描述了“贡布藏族中流传着一个古怪的预言，说南迦巴瓦峰有一天会崩塌到雅鲁藏布江峡谷，阻断河流，然后河流会转向，越过多雄拉山口。这件事被记录在一本书里，作者是一位传说中的人物，其肖像可以在波密（Pome）帕伊（Payi）的小寺院里看到。”（126-7） 南迦巴瓦峰是中国西南部的一座著名山峰，位于喜马拉雅山脉东端、西藏自治区林芝地区米林县墨脱县交界地带，海拔7,782米，也是世界所有高度超过7,500米的山峰中位置最靠东的。南迦巴瓦峰曾被《中国国家地理》杂志评为“中国最美十大名山”第一名。南迦巴瓦在藏语中有多种解释，但是我一直倾向于“直刺天空的长矛”这个解释。这个名字来源于藏族长篇史诗《格萨尔王传》中的“门岭一战”，在诗史中将南迦巴瓦峰描绘成状若“长矛直刺苍穹”。 南迦巴瓦峰是苯教的圣地。由于恶劣的攀登环境，南迦巴瓦峰一直无人登顶成功，直到1992年，...
