Mt. Shishapangma is the 14th highest mountain which lies in its autonomous region, known by the Tibetans as “the big grassy field”, it is an extremely beautiful and provides awe inspiring vistas along the Himalayan range.

It is the youngest among fourteen mountains above 8000m that lies in high Himalayan ranges of Tibet and Nepal.
