Niru Village
尼汝村
A Tibetan ancient village deep in the mountains north of Pudacuo National Park, surrounded by seven-colour waterfalls, primeval forest and alpine pastures. It is a classic hiking destination in Shangri-La.
Niru Village lies in Luoji Township, north of Pudacuo National Park. It is a Tibetan village tucked into a gorge, surrounded by primeval forest, alpine pastures and moraine lakes. Nearby, the Seven-Colour Waterfall cascades in tiers down from a travertine terrace. The village has several guesthouses and serves as the starting point for hikes and horse treks into the mountains. Classic routes lead deep into Nanbao Pasture or over the pass to Pudacuo. It is about 3 hours' drive from the city centre, and the final stretch is a mountain road that is prone to landslides in the rainy season. A guide is required for hiking. Pace yourself at altitude and keep an eye on changing weather.
