Sacred snowy plateau and vast grassland pastoral songs
Across Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu Qilian Mountains and Sichuan Qiangtang Grassland, the roof of China is the nearest land to the sky on this blue planet. Here, the golden roof of the Potala Palace shimmers in the clouds, the blue waves of Qinghai Lake connect with the sky, the snow capped peaks of the Qilian Mountains contrast with the grasslands, and the Tibetan antelope herds of the Qiangtang grasslands run in the morning light.
From the sound of turning prayer wheels on Barkhor Street in Lhasa, to the fluttering prayer flags by Qinghai Lake, from the tents of herdsmen at the foot of the Qilian Mountains to the flower sea on the Ruoergai grassland, every place tells the ancient legend of the plateau. The vibrant colors of thangka paintings and the mysterious expressions of Tibetan opera masks are all telling the story of the snowy realm.
Our exclusive itinerary allows you to hike by the shores of Namtso Lake to experience the tranquility of the holy lake, ride horses across the Qilian Mountains to see the trail of snow leopards, and venture deep into the Qiangtang grassland to participate in pastoral transitions. Every journey is a journey of reverence for the forbidden zone of life and a pilgrimage to the pure land of the soul.
