SPIRITUALITY ALONG THE TEA HORSE ROAD

This journey speaks to the travellers and seekers who crave meaningful connections and going deep into Nature.

The incredible (surreal even!) take-your-breathe-away landscapes paired with the long-standing traditions and rituals of Yunnan's ethnic minorities make this region one of China's most spiritual. From a private tour of Yunnan's largest Tibetan monastery perched at 3,000m to encounters with the Lama over a cup of pipping hot yak butter tea to trekking through Niding forest and gathering around a hotpot with the local community, you'll embark on a journey that will open your eyes and heart.
