Nyalam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nyalam is a small Tibetan town 35 km from Zhangmu in Tsang County near the Nepal border. It is situated at 3,750 metres (12,300ft) above sea level. A town of stone buildings and tin roofs, it is nicknamed 'The Gate of Hell' by the Nepalese traders because the trail between Nyalam and the Nepalese border was so treacherous to negotiate.
