Zhangmu (Chinese: 樟木) or Dram in Tibetan (Tibetan: འགྲམ, Wylie: 'gram, THL: dram, ZYPY: Zham), or Khasa in Nepali, is a customs town and port of entry located in Nyalam County in Tibet, China close to the Nepal-China border, just uphill and across the Bhotekoshi River from the Nepalese town of Kodari. At 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) above sea level, Zhangmu has a mild and humid subtropical climate, which is a rarity for Tibet.
