Tibet Nepal Friendship Highway

The 850-kilometer-long Friendship Highway was completed and opened to traffic in 1967, with 736 kilometers in China and 114 kilometers in Nepal. It is Tibet's sole outbound highway leading to overseas. The highway itself starts from Lhasa, passing the turquoise Yamdrok Lake, through Chusu, Shigatse, Lhaze, Dingri, Nielamu, on to the Nepali border at Zhangmu, and ends at the defense highway of Katmandu, capital of the Kingdom of Nepal.

The Nepal and Tibet Friendship Highway is a celebrated route in the Tibetan Plateau, renowned for its scenic wonders, which feature inspired vistas of the snow-capped Himalayas, vast grasslands and meadows.
