The foot of the glacier is 5,020 meters high, so climbing it really requires careful consideration. When the guide asked if we could rent oxygen tanks, I quickly raised my hand. Step by step, even with oxygen, it was difficult to climb. I felt exhausted. Then, a small lake appeared. Some people circled the lake and continued to ascend, so I gave up decisively.

The movie "Red River Valley" was filmed here, making the Karola Glacier quite famous. Many travelers come here to admire the magnificent glacier and marvel at the charm of nature.

Kajola Glacier has become the core natural landscape of the southern Tibetan ring road with its rare accessibility of the highway, the strange landscape of ice Tallinn and the film and television cultural label. However, man-made destruction and climate threats are accelerating its demise, and it is recommended to visit as soon as possible during the best viewing period (spring and autumn) to retain the beauty of the &quot;Tangka hanging on the mountain wall&quot; in awe.

The magnificent natural landscape of Kazola Glacier attracts the eyes of countless travelers with its cold and mysterious temperament. As an important tourist attraction in Tibet, Kazola Glacier not only shows the magical power of nature, but also witness the course of the earth&#39;s climate change.

Apart from the lack of oxygen and the fatigue of climbing, the scenery is beautiful! I highly recommend going there

We set out from Lhasa in the morning and visited Yanghu Lake first, then passed the Karola Glacier on the way to Shigatse. The Karola Glacier is right next to the road and the ticket is 50 yuan. We only took a few photos in the car. The Karola Glacier is one of the four major snow-capped mountains in Tibet. From a distance, the glacier looks like a magnificent and colorful forest of ice towers. The ice towers have various strange cloud-like folds due to the alternating snow and dust, which are like beautiful patterns carefully carved by skilled craftsmen.
