There are many sacred mountains in Tibet, but the most famous ones may be the four sacred mountains in Tibet 🏔 (Gang Rinpoche, Meili Snow Mountain, Amnye Machen, Gaduo Jowo). So the snow mountain Amnye Machen is as famous as Gang Rinpoche. It has an altitude of 6,282 meters and is covered with snow all year round❄️. It is a holy place for many Tibetan compatriots to worship, especially in the Year of the Horse, many people come to worship 🏔.
Where to see it🚩The Amnye Machen Snow Mountain is located in Machen County, Golog Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It is one of the local landmarks. Starting from Dawu Township in Machen and going to Xueshan Township, there is a parking spot on the Dema Expressway where you can clearly see the snow mountain.
What to see 🚩The snow-capped mountains are very majestic and shocking. There is a large Halon Glacier here, which can be seen right next to the highway. There are also alpine meadows in summer. It is especially beautiful if there are blue sky and white clouds.
Notes: 1. The altitude here is over 4,000 meters, which is a high altitude area. Please walk slowly to prevent altitude sickness.
2⃣The ultraviolet rays are strong in high altitude areas, so be sure to take precautions against the sun.
3⃣If you want to get close to the snow-capped mountains, you must drive an off-road vehicle with four-wheel drive or above.
