Himalaya

The mountains of Zayul lie east of the great bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo, where the high Tibetan country gives way to deeply cut valleys. The Zayul River flows south through this rugged landscape, between steep slopes and high ridges. Elevation and moisture change rapidly across the region, from cold uplands to forested valleys below. These mountains form part of the complex meeting of the eastern Himalayan and Hengduan ranges.
