Namcha Barwa is an excellent short trek for nature lovers and amateur botanists. It includes the delightful Nyima La and the lushly forested Rong Valley. The route begins in Pei, a small village that is also the staging post of treks to the great bend of the Tsangpo via Pelma Kochung and to Metog. Here a ferry crosses to Timpe on the north bank of the river, site of a revered Guru Rinpoche cave and monastery.

A splendid trail leads north to the Nyima La through some of the finest virgin forests and flower gardens in southeastern Tibet. The idyllic walk passes a nomad camp and groves of flowering rhododendrons along the way. Many plant species abound on the open moorlands near the pass. From the pass there are tremendous views of the Assam Himalayas, including nearby Gyala Pelri and Namcha Barwa. On the far side of the Nyima La is the Rong Valley, a heavily forested scenic valley that is luxuriantly carpeted with primulas and violet irises from May to July. The best time for this trek is from May to October.

Namcha Barwa Peak, literally "a spear piercing into the sky" in Tibetan, having an altitude of 7782m above sea level is famous for its "iceberg's father" which is the fifteenth highest peak in the world. It is also known as the starting peak of Himalayan range from the east. It stands to the interior of the bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. The west slope of the Namcha Barwa is deeply cut by snows and eroded by its precipitous cliffs. The naked rock in the cliff shows traces of snow slides. There are full of glaciers in the valley, which mostly belong to he marine glacier. A lot of hot springs are at the foot of the peak with particularly luxuriant vegetations.
