Mt. Namjagbarwa stands 7,788 meters high above sea level, and lies in Southeast Tibet. The mountain is capped all year round with a transparent sheet of ice and snow, and is hard to view because it is constantly encircled in fog. Once in a while, the apex of the mountain peeks out from the fog and therefore, the mountain is nicknamed "shy girl".
The true features of its triangular body are obscured by snow year round and by clouds and fog. West of Namjagbarwa Peak is a steep cliff that reaches the bottom of the valley, and in its northwest stand a series of peaks of more than 7,000 meters above sea level, which join one another like sawteeth capped with thick ice-snow. Three huge valley glaciers have evolved between Namjagbarwa Peak and Naipeng Peak to its south and reach down to the green and immense forest. The La'gyabelei Peak to the north of Namjagbarwa Peak on the other side of Yarlung Zangbo River,a saddle-shaped, double-peaked mountain of 7,234 meters, is also enveloped by clouds and fog all year long. All these mountains and others, such as Seche La Mountain, form the wonderful landscape in the east part of Nyingchi area.
