5 DAYS · PRIVATE JOURNEY · WESTERN SICHUAN
A five-day journey from Chengdu into alpine valleys, Tibetan villages and the everyday life of the Tagong grasslands.
THE JOURNEY
Western Sichuan is often introduced through snow peaks and grasslands. This journey goes further, connecting those landscapes with the people, food, belief and daily rhythms that give them meaning.
Beginning in Chengdu, the route passes Wolong and Mount Siguniang before slowing down in Zhonglu, Tagong and Kangding. The itinerary is private, allowing time for conversation, changing weather and the moments that cannot be scheduled too tightly.
Private by design — the timing and detail can be adjusted around your interests, comfort and travel rhythm.
WHAT STAYS WITH YOU
Landscape sets the scene. Time with people, food, homes and sacred places gives the journey its meaning.
Sit together over butter tea, learn how tsampa is prepared and hear about the daily rhythm of life on the plateau.
