But from October to November, right after the rainy season, the chances of clear skies are very high, making it the “golden period for peak watching”! - Suosong Village: Stay at a guesthouse in Suosong Village, and you can see Namcha Barwa Peak right outside your window! Watch the golden sunlight on the mountain in the morning and see the snow-capped peak turn orange in the sunset glow. Your friends will flood you with questions about the location when you post photos. - Sejila Mountain Pass: If you’re driving through Sejila Mountain, be sure to stop at the pass. Here you can take in the full view of Namcha Barwa Peak, and on clear days, the sharp edges of the snow mountain are crystal clear. 👉 How to enjoy: Search “Suosong Village Snow Mountain View Guesthouse” on Trip.com and prioritize rooms with terraces so you can lie down and wait for the golden mountain glow! 🔝 Must-visit Spot 2: Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon + Galabailei Peak — Stunning autumn scenery of twin snow mountain canyons In the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, Galabailei Peak and Namcha Barwa Peak face each other across the river. In autumn, the trees in the canyon turn vivid reds and yellows, making the two snow mountains look even more magnificent. - Best photo spot: The canyon’s viewing platform lets you capture both snow mountains and the autumn colors of the canyon at once. Your camera’s memory will fill up fast! 👉 How to enjoy: Buy the “Grand Canyon Ticket + Sightseeing Bus” package on Trip.com.

You can also check in at a Tibetan-style guesthouse and enjoy a stone pot chicken meal—absolutely amazing! - Along the Niyang River: The river is as blue as a gem, and the trees on both banks show a mix of red, yellow, and green in autumn. Driving along the Niyang River is like traveling through a “moving landscape painting.” Just stop at any curve to take photos and you’ll get great shots. 👉 How to enjoy: Rent a car on Trip.com (available in Lhasa and Nyingchi), drive from Nyingchi city to Lulang, explore along the Niyang River, and stop whenever you want—freedom at its best! 📌 Nyingchi Autumn Viewing “Nanny-level Guide” - Best time: Early October to mid-November.
