Be enchanted by China’s lesser-known Tibetan regions of Qinghai and Gansu, where elderly monks create intricate thangka artworks to the flicker of yak-butter candles, and locals herd livestock across pristine grasslands. “Glamping” among nomads, you’ll enjoy a magical blend of cultural immersion and off-the-beaten-track adventure.
Experience how Tibetan Buddhism has manifested itself outside of Tibet on this adventure to the remote provinces of Qinghai and Gansu. Fairly unknown to the outside world, these provinces are rich in Tibetan Buddhist culture and tradition. Qinghai was the hiding place for many of Tibetan Buddhism’s most sacred scripts and artifacts when Buddhism was under threat in China during the 12th century. Gansu’s Xiahe Country is home to the famous Labrang Monastery, which hosts the largest number of monks outside of Tibet. The hidden monasteries and colorful murals in these regions offer an opportunity to experience Tibetan Buddhism in some of its purest and most original forms.
Norden Camp, situated outside of Labrang in verdant surroundings, offers the opportunity to experience Tibetan culture and the outdoors in style and comfort.
