专家说明

Chomolhari (Mountain of the Goddess) at 23,997 feet (7314m) rises above the plateau on the Tibet-Bhutan border. This mountain is sacred to Tibetan Buddhists. Mallory described it in 1921 as 'astounding and magnificent'. Every year pilgrims assemble in the town of Phari Dzong, and walk in procession to the mountain.
