🌟 Travel Guide: From Nyalam to Nepal

📍 Pre-Trip Preparation Visa and Documents Nepal Visa: Can be applied for at the Nepal Consulate near Lhasa’s Norbulingka. Required: original passport, 2-inch photo. Fee: approx. 175 RMB, valid for 15 days, pick up the next day. Border Pass: Nyalam is a border county. Apply in advance at your hometown or Lhasa, specifying “Shigatse Prefecture” or “Nyalam County.” Health and Equipment Altitude Sickness Prevention: Take rhodiola in advance; prepare oxygen tanks, sunscreen, and windproof jackets (strong winds at Tongla Pass). Currency Exchange: Exchange Nepalese Rupees at Zhangmu Port for better rates than in Nepal (approx. 1:14.77). 🚗 Transportation Routes Lhasa → Nyalam Recommended: Shared ride. Lhasa to Zhangmu Port takes about 12 hours. Toyota SUV shared ride: 400-500 RMB per person, comfortable and efficient. Attractions Along the Way: Yamdrok Lake, Karola Glacier, Shishapangma (China’s only 8,000m+ snow-capped mountain). Suggest stopping for photos in segments. Nyalam → Zhangmu Port Zhangmu Town (2,300m altitude) is built along winding mountain roads, blending Han, Tibetan, and Nepalese cultures. Stay briefly to experience the mixed ethnic vibe. Customs Note: Zhangmu Port may occasionally close for construction. Confirm opening hours in advance and follow border inspection regulations. 🌄 Must-Visit Spots in Nyalam Tongla Pass (5,126m altitude) The dividing line between the Himalayas’ north and south slopes. Panoramic views of Shishapangma, Lhotse, and other snow-capped peaks. Strong winds—secure photography equipment. Peiku Tso Shigatse’s largest lake. Tibetan wild asses and black-necked cranes can be seen along the shore. In winter, snow-capped mountains reflect on the lake—ideal for aerial photography (note border flight restrictions). Labu Village A Tibetan village with only 200 residents near Peiku Tso. Features hand-painted Tibetan-style houses, elderly spinners, and innocent children. Perfect for an in-depth experience of plateau rural life. 🛃 Zhangmu Port Customs Guide Exit Process Get a stamp at Zhangmu Public Security Bureau, take a shared ride (10 RMB) to Friendship Bridge, walk across the border to Nepal, fill in the entry form, and get it stamped. Transportation in Nepal Share a jeep to Kathmandu (approx. 700 NPR/person), 5-6 hours. Roads are bumpy—suggest bringing motion sickness medicine. 🏞️ First Taste of Nepal Kathmandu Durbar Square: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, experience Newari architecture and living goddess culture. Thamel District: Hunt for handicrafts, sip Nepali chai. Affordable prices. Pokhara Boat on Phewa Lake, watch Himalayan sunrises at Sarangkot. Hiking enthusiasts can challenge the Annapurna Circuit. The route from Nyalam to Nepal blends breathtaking natural beauty with profound cultural experiences—from snow-capped 秘境 (secret realms) to foreign streets, every step holds a surprise.
