The biggest surprise of trekking in Tibet! Bailang Valley is absolutely amazing!!✨
As someone visiting Nyingchi for the second time, here’s my honest experience🏔️
Previously, Namtso left me with an incredible impression: a short hike to check off plateau snow mountains + grasslands + lakes! But this time, the season was a bit early and there were too many tourists, so the experience was somewhat compromised...😭
BUT! The next day at Bailang Valley, I was literally blown away🛫
The night before, altitude sickness kept me awake and I almost gave up, but thankfully I didn’t!🙏
⚠️ Practical info:
- Route: Same road as Namtso, then branches off after entering
- Road conditions: Quite wild! After rain, lots of potholes and mud splashing everywhere (don’t open car windows!)🆘
- Altitude: About 3800 meters
- Best season: Mid to late October for the most beautiful autumn scenery
As soon as we entered the valley, everyone in the car was like "Wow!"😱
The previous day at Namtso was instantly overshadowed!
👉 Mist-shrouded primeval forest
👉 Undisturbed stunning meadows
👉 Snow-capped mountains faintly visible in the background
This combination is the ultimate fairyland package!🏆
Hiking bonus🎁
Walking on a "natural carpet" of pine needles
Soft and super comfortable underfoot~
You can even pick mushrooms along the way (don’t eat them unless you know the species!)🍄
The lake at the end is beautiful, no doubt
But the scenery along the way is the real soul✨
The layers of landscape are explosively rich!
I’ve already decided to visit a third time!
Waiting for the deep autumn version in late October!🍂
