Why visit Karola Glacier
Karuola Glacier is located at the boundary between Nagarze County and Gyangze County in the south of Tibet. It leans on the south slope of Nojin Kangsan Mountain, one of the four largest mountains in Tibet. The top of the glacier is the ice cap with gradual slope, while the bottom is two ice tongues shaped as ice fall. Karuola Glacier is one of the three continental glaciers in Tibet, and it is also an outdoor shooting site, for multiple movies.
