6-Day Tibetan Western Sichuan

About

Classic Western Sichuan – A Symphony of Nature and Culture

Within easy reach from capital city Chengdu, discover a land where snow-capped giants like 7,556m Mt. Gongga and the UNESCO-listed Mt Siguniang (Four Sisters Mountain) pierce the sky. Wander through flower-strewn valleys, crystal-clear alpine lakes, and golden grasslands dotted with grazing yaks.

Live like a nomad—milk the yak, sip butter tea in a tent, and feel the rhythm of Tibetan life. Learn through hands-on workshops with Tibetan artisans. Explore ancient monasteries where prayer flags flutter in the wind, monks chant in dimly lit halls, and sacred art tells centuries-old stories.

From breathtaking peaks to profound cultural encounters, this journey awakens the senses and nourishes the soul.
