Walk into the 40 Glacier in Tibet and admire a different blue ice world.

Tibet, a place you must visit once in your lifetime, the Blue Hole Glacier 40 Glacier Guide! 40 Glacier, also known as Cuojia Glacier, is located near the border of Langkazi County in Shannan Prefecture, Tibet, and Bhutan. It is named after the 40th boundary marker between China and Bhutan. Although not large in scale, it has a complete range of glacier forms (such as ice tongues, crevasses, ice surface lakes, ice caves, etc.) and you can get very close to the glacier. Walking on the lake surface, you can hear the rumbling sound of glacier movement. It is well worth a visit during your trip to Tibet. Things to know before entering the 40 Glacier: Altitude 5300 meters, proceed according to your physical condition. It is very close to the border, so you need to apply for a border pass in advance before departure. The road is not difficult to walk, but it is all wilderness and uninhabited areas, so at least a four-wheel-drive vehicle is required to go alone. Be sure to download satellite navigation! Record the driving route! To prevent getting lost (at least an hour and a half of the journey has no signal at all). Do not climb the glacier! It is very dangerous! Drone shooting is enough. Starting from Langkazi County, head towards Pumoyongcuo along National Highway G219, walk along the lake from east to south, find the location of the "trail entrance" on the satellite map (there will be many tire marks on the ground, clearly indicating a road), and follow the tire marks all the way after entering. When you reach the "Zengcuo" location, you will be at the bottom of the 40 Glacier.
