Set high in the southeastern Tibet Autonomous Region, the road to the summit is totally paved and navigable by all passenger vehicles. It’s called S202. At this elevation oxygen levels drop and visitors need to take adequate precautions against Acute Mountain Sickness.

Located to the north of Na Riyongcuo lake, the pass is 33.3 km (20.69 miles) long running from Niuqu to Zhaxikang. This road offers jaw-dropping views, unparalleled freedom, and lots of fresh air.
