Three-River-Source Wildlife Observation 8D

Duration8 Days
Difficulty 1 star
Three-River-Source National Park in Qinghai is situated on the world’s 'Third Pole,' the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Here, we will embark on a journey through the Danxia Canyon of the Yellow River, trek amidst interesting rock formations among the bare rocks of the high mountains, and follow the route of King Gesar along the shores of Gyaring and Ngoring Lakes, which are the source of the Yellow River. The core of cultural outdoors exploration is venturing into unconventional travel destinations, immersing ourselves both in the local environment and in the local culture. As we follow the Yellow River to its source, we will find ourselves in places where Tibetan culture is preserved in its purest form.
