Lebu Valley
勒布沟
A Monpa ethnic valley on the south slope of the Himalayas, only about 2,800 meters above sea level, where primeval forests, waterfalls, and streams intertwine. Known as a natural oxygen bar on the plateau.
Lebu Valley means 'good place' in Tibetan. It lies south of Cona County and is a deep gorge along the middle and lower reaches of the Niang River. The valley is home to four Monpa ethnic townships: Jiba, Gongri, Marmang, and Le. From Cona town, at about 4,400 meters, a drive of about 40 km, or roughly half an hour, takes you down to the valley floor at about 2,800 meters. Vegetation cover exceeds 80 percent. Along the way are sights such as Gangting Waterfall, Senmuzha, and Wolf Valley, with viewpoints, rest stops, and parking areas. The scenic area is currently free and open all day. Because it is in a border area, you need to obtain a border permit in advance and carry your ID documents with you.
