Passing through Naijingangsang, one of the four major snow-capped mountains in Tibet. Like a beauty dressing up quietly, Carola looks far away among the mountains. It is reported that the Karola Glacier is the closest to the road in the whole of Tibet, which is only about 300 meters away from the road. Karola Glacier is located at the junction of Langkazi County and Gyantse County, about 71 kilometers away from Gyantse County. After coming out of Yamdrok Lake, we crossed the Smila Pass, which is about 4330 meters, and came to the ice tongue of Karola Glacier. The front edge of the glacier tongue is about 5,560 meters above sea level. The place where you can watch the Karola Glacier is about 5,400 meters above sea level. In the area about 5,600 meters north of the mountain pass, the Ningjin Kangshafeng Glacier is a hanging glacier formed by drifting southward. It is the main peak of Lagui Gangri Mountain, north of the Himalayas. Legend has it that it is the place where the four major mountain gods of Tibetan Buddhism - the Western Mountain God Nuoji Kangwa Sambu live. There are more than 10 peaks above 6,000 meters standing around Naijingang Sang, which is one of the four major snow mountains in Tibet.
