The Namjagbarwa Peak seems to be  always too shy to rise up from the clouds. An interesting  legend relates how two brothers  chose to guard the southeastern side of Tibet. The brothers were immortals and the name of the elder one was Namjagbarwa, while the name of the younger brother was Gyalabele. Gyalabele was stronger and smarter, that is why Namjagbarwa became very jealous. Later Namjagbarwa killed his brother,  cutting off the head of his kinsman. Both of them turned into remarkable  mountains. The top of Gyalabele Mountain looks round, while the elder brother - Namjagbarwa  is sad, and regrets his act and feels ashamed of being admired  by other people.

The great white clouds veil the mountain every time, appearing  as a wonderful paradise in fantasy and offering  more mystery and more mystics to the Namjagbarwa Peak.  The local Tibetans  say that only sincere people can admire the fabulous scenery of Namjagbarwa. At the bottom of the mountain   British explorers stayed, who  came here hoping  to see its scenery, but they waited a whole month in vain. The scientists and the geographers have an explanation, that since Namjagbarwa is situated close to Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, the humid air from the Indian Ocean runs along the canyon to the north, due to this fact mountains on both sides of the canyon are covered by clouds and mists.

The white and the marvelous clouds always wrap the snowy top of Namjagbarwa Mountain. Not very often the sharply peak of the Namjagbarwa can rise up from hiding, but almost immediately, the mountain is quickly hidden again in the clouds.
