Abstract: To investigate and monitor permafrost in the Bayan Har Mountains (BHM), north‐eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, southwest China, 19 boreholes ranging from 20 to 100 m in depth were drilled along an elevational transect (4,221–4,833 m a.s.l.) from July to September 2010. Measurements from these boreholes demonstrate that ground temperatures at the depth of zero annual amplitude (TZAA) are generally higher than −2.0°C. The lapse rates of TZAA are 4 and 6 °C km−1, and the lower limits of permafrost with TZAA
