Encyclopedia : N : NY : NYA : Nyalam

'Nyalam is a small Tibetan town 35 km from Zhangmu in Tsang County near the Nepal border in Tibet. It is situated at 3,750 (12,300ft) above sea level. A town of stone buildings and tin roofs, it is nicknamed 'The Gate of Hell' by the Nepalese traders because the trail between Nyalam and the Nepalese border was so treacherous to negotiate.
