Namcha Brawa Trek - 14 days
Come to see it. What a mysterious canyon. What a miracle in nature! The Namjabarwa Canyon on the Yarlung Tsangpo River, listed as the most mysterious wonder in the world, is a great canyon covered by green vegetation completely so attractive to the world that no other places can compete with. Namjabarwa, a piece of land hidden in remote Tibet, is treasured as the last pure land of the world.The Yarlung Tsangpo River cuts through in the valley between Namjabarwa Summit, creating the magnificent river bend of Namjabarwa, the deepest canyon in the world. Highlights of the bend come into your eyes at the top of it. As kept so far away from civilization by remoteness, it is really an unpolluted paradise for wild animals and plants, among which, some are the rare and precious ones that can not be found elsewhere. Natives living in this canyon are the Lhoba and Moenba Ethnic Groups.
