On the next day, the road to the mountains from Zhirepu Temple to Zhuomala Mountain Pass is more difficult and dangerous. The whole journey is about

km, mainly rocky roads with a slope close to

degrees, and the altitude rises steeply

Duomi, you need to pay attention to adjusting the rhythm. On the way, you will pass an ancient celestial burial platform, surrounded by various prayer flags and Tibetan belongings.

meters of Zhuomala Pass. Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can see the emerald green Tuoji Co, which means the lake of compassion. Legend has it that bathing in this lake can wash away the dirt and evils on the body. However, ordinary travelers probably don’t have the courage. The lake is filled with melted ice and snow, which is bitingly cold. It is not recommended to try it rashly. The road down the Zhuomala Pass is a long and steep downhill almost vertical, so you need to pay attention to safety when going down the mountain. After that, you need to pass through a swamp overgrown with weeds, and then there are endless steep slopes.

When the magnificent figure of the peak is seen, the road to the mountain is basically over. Walk slowly back to Tachin and reward yourself with a good meal.
