Zhuodala Snow Mountain
卓达拉山
A snow peak of the Shaluli Range, about 4,798 meters above sea level, rising south of the county seat. The road from Garze to Xinlong and Baiyu crosses the range from the foot of the mountain.
Zhuodala Mountain belongs to the Shaluli Range. Its main peak rises about 4,798 meters and sits on the border between Garze and Xinlong counties. It is the iconic snow mountain visible when looking south from Garze county seat, and on clear days it can be seen from Garze Monastery. The road toward Xinlong and Baiyu passes beneath the mountain. Now that the newly built Zhuodala Tunnel is open, you can still take the old road up to the mountain pass to see the snow peaks, jumbled-rock glacial moraines and alpine meadows. The pass is high and the weather changes quickly, so bring warm clothing and watch for altitude sickness. Do not take the old road in winter when snow has accumulated.
