Namcha Barwa Himal range runs diagonally from bottom left to top right corner, and Naamcha Barwa peak is in the top right at the end of the range. Gyala Peri peak in the Nyenchen Tanglha Shan range is just 20 km north of Naamcha Barwa peak across the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
Namcha Barwa Himal, also known as Namjagbarwa syntaxisorNamjagbarwa Group Complex, is the easternmost section[1] of the Himalaya in southeastern Tibet and northeastern India. This section spans 180 km from the headwaters of the Siyom River on the international border NE into Tibet to the canyon of the Yarlung Tsangpo (the Brahmaputra in India), where the Himalaya are said to end, although high ranges (Hengduan MountainsonChina–Myanmar border) actually continue another 300 km east.
