Things to do in Bome

Midui Glacier

Midui Glacier is one of the most iconic glacier views in southeastern Tibet. Here, towering snow-capped mountains, dense forests, and clear lakes create a unique and magnificent natural view as the glacier extends from the mountain peaks down into the forests and valleys. Pristine white ice and snow cover the peaks, shimmering with a crystalline glow under the sunlight. The glacier slowly descends from the heights toward the valley, with massive, layered ice formations where the glacier tongue meets the slopes and forests, creating a spectacular landscape of ice and snow. In spring and summer, the valley is lush with greenery, and wildflowers dot the forests; in autumn, the forest colors become richer, contrasting beautifully with the snow-capped mountains; while winter presents a purer, more tranquil world of ice and snow.
