There are plenty of reasons to come and visit the Chinese Himalayas. Hiking in Nyalam is just one of them. When in this borderland region, take time to explore the Lalungla Pass and the Brahmaputra River, camping in the heart of the Himalayan foothills. From here, continue on to the base of Mount Kailash and explore the shores of Lake Mansarovar, heading through the Dayumla pass. Incredible views await at every turn. Trekking up to Dolma-la Pass (5,636 m) is also a treat and the views from there are even better than before, something you will find hard to believe at the start of the trek, but is assuredly true. Heading to the Chinese Himalayas does require some careful planning. In order to get an entry visa you must have a government-approved guide and detailed itinerary of where you will stay. Without a visa, your entry to the region will be barred
