A memorable road trip to Kyipogo La

The road to the summit is totally unpaved. Attempting it in anything but a High-Clearance, preferably 4-wheel drive vehicle is a recipe for disaster. The pass is 11.4 km (7.08 miles) long, running eest-east from Zhawo to Zexuxiang. Always check the weather forecast before you start your journey: adverse conditions are common. To drive the road without stopping will take most people between 35 and 45 minutes.
