Visit Tibet in Winter|Hike 6 hours at an altitude of 5,300 meters to the end of the world.

Why do I like visiting Tibet in winter so much? As a snow mountain and glacier enthusiast, Tibet in winter satisfies all my fantasies about stunning landscapes. In winter, the mountains of Tibet are covered with snow. Whether you look down from the plane or open the window, you can enjoy the continuous white mountains. The lakes of the glaciers freeze and the water level drops, allowing you to get close to the glaciers. 📍Qudeng Nima Glacier Copper Lake, Gamba County, Shigatse, Tibet. Located on the China-India border, it is blocked by a huge object in front of it, which is used as the boundary between the two countries and is also described as the "end of the world." ❄️It's very cold before the sun shines in the morning! I felt like my limbs were going to freeze off, it was more than ten degrees below zero, and I came back to life after the sun shone. ✔️Qudeng Nima Glacier Hiking Guide: 🧭Navigate to "Qudeng Nima Glacier", you will pass by a marked road sign and a rainbow road, then register at the post, show your ID card and border pass, because it is the border, you need to leave one person's ID card. ▶️The starting point of the hike is the parking point at the end of the drive. It takes 2 km from the parking point to the Copper Lake. At an altitude of 5,000+, it takes about 1 hour to hike 2 km. ➡️It is about 2 km from the lake to the front of the glacier along the right side of the lake. At an altitude of 5,300, it takes about 2 hours to hike. ☑️So it takes about 3 hours one way. We walked and took photos along the way, and it took about 6 hours to go back and forth. (We set off from the starting point of the hike at nearly 10 am and returned to the parking area at 4 pm) 💡Other Tips 1️⃣Stay in Gamba County the night before. The county is at an altitude of 4,700 meters, which is very high. Try to find a room with oxygen supply. 2️⃣Warm clothing and hats are essential, and photographers are advised to prepare gloves. 3️⃣The starting point of the hike is also at a high altitude, so it is recommended to make all preparations, including psychological preparation. If you are afraid of altitude sickness, it is recommended to carry an oxygen tank with you! Or do what you can, after all, high-altitude hiking is risky. 4️⃣You can climb up the glacier along the right side of the mountain in front of the glacier, but I personally do not recommend it. One is that the slope of the mountain is too steep and covered with snow, and the other is that the glacier roars from time to time, and the structure is changing at any time, which is very dangerous❗️
