Zhangmu Travel Guide

Zhangmu Town, known by its Tibetan name Khasa, is situated in the southern piedmont of the median Himalayas, about 776 km. away from the capital of Tibet Lhasa, 7,000 feet above sea level. It is the last Chinese town you'll see before hitting Nepal. Zhangmu Town is a most welcome sight both for travelers and traders alike. Much is owed to nearby Mt. Everest, the highest peak in the world. The weather there is mild and humid and the natural scenery is very charming, which allows the all-year-round availability for visitors to travel there.

It is absolutely embraced by wondrous mountains, flexural rivers, lush pines and flourishing flowers almost all the year round. The hills around Zhangmu are heavily wooded with innumerable waterfalls in the summer and frozen 'icicles' during the winter. The booming border trade attracts merchants from inland, China, Tibet and Nepal. Reaching Zhangmu can be difficult with no scheduled buses running to the town from neighboring cities. You will need to either rent a car and self-drive or hire a private taxi, which can be easily organized from any hotel front desk or travel agency.
