Anjiula Pass
安久拉山口
A G318 pass between Ranwu and Bayi at about 4,475 m, surrounded by high alpine meadows and snow peaks.
Anjiula Pass lies about 20 km northeast of Ranwu Town. It is the watershed on the G318 between the Nu River and Yarlung Tsangpo river systems, at roughly 4,475 m. Prayer flags and a marker stone stand at the pass, and the surrounding open alpine meadows and snowy peaks are grazed by yaks in summer. Most self-drive travelers stop here for photos. The altitude is high, so move slowly after getting out of the car, and watch for altitude sickness and keep warm. In winter and spring, the road can be icy.
