The Yampachen Valley, a narrow basin covering about 450 square kilometers, is a breathtaking destination for adventurers. Stretching 90 kilometers in length and less than 10 kilometers wide, it is surrounded by majestic mountains reaching heights of 5500-6000 meters above sea level. These mountains boast modern glaciers on their peaks and remnants of ancient glaciers in the valley below. Situated approximately 4500 meters above sea level, this town is renowned for its geothermal resources that power much of the capital, Lhasa. It is also famous for its invigorating hot springs, attracting countless tourists seeking relaxation. Nestled in a lush, verdant valley populated by grazing yak and sheep, the town lies just south of the Nyainqntanglha Mountains. Imagine the awe-inspiring sight of snow-capped peaks while immersing yourself in the rejuvenating hot springs.
