This is the Mountain called in Tibetan: Dophu Ngatra in the Trola Ri Range (Chola Ri Range) in Dege or Derge county, Kham. In the forground runs the river Tro Chu (or Cho Chu).

These Abies squamata forests reach up above 4600m here. Spruce-fir forest tree line reaches this height from Derge to Chamdo, the highest spruce-fir forest tree line in the world. Only junipers (Juniperus thibetica) will climb higher in central Tibet. East of Derge about 100kms is the small town of Manigango which is another stunning area with the mountain range of the Trola and Yilhun Lha Lake to explore.

The ascent to the watershed Tro La pass, with an altitude of 4864 m, northeast of Derge (the Derge county capital), is precipitous and switchback, gradually rising above the tree line into a world of jagged snow mountains. There are magnificent views of the Dri chu (Yangtze) gorge to the southwest. On the far side of Tro La, the landscape is totally different, the enclosed forested valleys giving way to rugged open grassland. The crossroads town of Manigango is located in the grassland, 110 km from Derge, and 41 km from Tro La pass.
