Baishuitai Tour

Regarded as a trekking paradise for beginners, Baishuitai is located at the foot of the Haba Snow Mountain and is the birthplace of the Dongba culture of the Naxi minority. The Haba Snow Mountain is an ancient area rich in fables and legends and is one of China's largest terraces. With a constant flow of silvery spring water descending smoothly from terrace to terrace, the area resembles a lush waterfall moving down the mountain. Locals also refer to these terraces as 'the paddy fields created by fairies'.

Shudugang Acclimatisation Trek

Enter the fascinating world of highland flora and fauna in a remote Ringha valley. Water following its natural course is believed to be the most organic path, and the trek follows the journey taken by Ringha's holy river from vast valley plain into the soaring mountains. The Shangri La trek is recommended for first-time hikers, and is suitable for most ages and ability levels for travellers in good health. Walks are relatively short, on good paths, and at predominantly low altitudes. Activities of a higher difficulty level are also available.

Other Activities & Experiences

The trek takes you through a quiet pine forest. The local guide will introduce you to the various mushrooms in the area and teach you how to tell if they are edible or not. After a full day of trekking, bring the edible mushrooms you have collected for the chef to include in your next hot pot. Please note that this experience is only available during the summer season.

Drive up north along Yunnan Tibet Road to the upper Yangtze Gorge during the wintry months, and catch a glimpse of rare Black Neck Cranes migrating to Ringha for the season. Travel past small villages and limestone terrain and stop by a village to admire the famed flat-roof architecture of northern Tibet. Here, you can admire the famous wooden teacups, barley bowls and carved tables in the region.

Drive north through very dry terrain along the Yangtze River to the town of Punzera. Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant and explore the old tea trading country of Yunnan. Famous Tibetan wooden tea cups, barley bowls and carved tables are all hand crafted here. Stop by a Nixi black pottery village and see craftsmen plying their unique trade.
