Zhaga Holy Mountain

扎呷神山

A granite sacred mountain in western Xinlong's Xionglong region, one of the Four Sacred Mountains of Xinlong, its white peak standing out above meadows and forests.

Zhaga Holy Mountain lies about 40 km from Xinlong County town. Its main peak is made of white granite, and streams, meadows, and forests surround its base. Local Tibetans often come here to circumambulate the mountain and offer prayers. You can admire it from villages in western Xionglong or hike to the pastures at its foot, but going deeper into the mountains requires a guide and proper outdoor gear. The altitude is high and the weather changes quickly, so watch for altitude sickness and keep warm. Circle the mountain clockwise, and do not climb the ritual structures.
