Because the weather become colder and colder here, we will stop to oragnize horse trekking and hiking at the beginning of November. If you have plan to visit here please arrange it before November or change your plan to next year.

First Day
(You can choose riding or hiking.)

At 10:00am, we will leave Langmusi to go along the White Dragon River and have lunch at the river spring. After lunch, we will continue the trek. At approximately 3:00pm, we can arrive at a large rangeland.
Tonight, we will sleep there in a tent with local people.
(From late April to early June, we will spend the night at the source area of the White Dragon River; from the early June to late August, we will sleep at the foot of Mt. Huagai; from early September to early November, we will sleep in The Flower Ocean Grassland.)

Second Day ( This day is only hiking.)

In this morning, we will have enough time to see the local people’s life, such as herding, milking, making butter… And if you are interested, you can have a try for yourself. After these activities, we will start to climbing Huagai God Mountain. It’s the highest mountain in this area. The hillside is a little steep but full of grass, so it’s easy to climb. After a 2 hour hike we will reach the summit.
Then from the summit, we walk a little down to the mountainside, crossing the ridge, we continue down to the bottom of the Namo Gorge. After passing through the Namo Gorge, we MUST pass through the Monastery to reach Langmusi.

Highlights:

* You can experience nomadic life for yourself;
* You will climb the highest mountain in this area;
* You will pass through a beautiful gorge;
* You can see many small animals on the way.

Notes:

*From late April to early June, we will spend the night at the source area of the White Dragon River; we can get there on the first day noontime, then in the afternoon we will visit the Xiu're valley. Second day we will spend around 8 hours on walking;
From the early June to late August, the tent where we will spend night is near Huagai Mountain, so the first day we need walk around 5 hours, second day around 6 hours;
from September to early November, the tent is a little further away, so the first day around 6 hours walking, second day around 9 hours;
* On the summit of Huagai Mountain, it's 5000m. So please be aware that to undertake this trek that you will need to be physically fit and you may still be affected by the altitude;
* Although it is summer, the weather can be very cold on the rangelands, and it is wise to be prepared. For the nights spent in the nomad tents there are no beds. Generally a light padding is placed on the bare earth of the tent, and we provide sleeping bag. There are NO showers or private washing facilities.
