Sichuan Tibet Odyssey
Date: 16 Oct 2024 – 31 Oct 2024
The G318 China National Highway runs from Shanghai to Zhangmu along the Nepalese border. It is the longest roadway of its type in the country, ending in Tibet. This journey might feel long to some, but it also provides some of the most impressive sights you can see from Nyingchi and Western Sichuan.
The southern route is often thought of as a pilgrimage to Lhasa, which is the most revered city in Tibet. You can see the stunning snowy mountain of Mount Gongga, the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, and the impressive Maoya Grasslands along this highway. It is also one of the best opportunities to explore Tibetan culture authentically.
Some sections of the highway create experiences on their own. One such place is the 72 turns found at the Nujiang River.
The G318 is sometimes referred to as “China’s Landscape Avenue.” If you’re ready to touch the sky, then this adventure is for you.

OVERVIEW
Yading Nature Reserve
A breathtaking sight found in China, Yading Nature Reserve has become a popular destination for hiking. The mountains are a sight to see and its significance within the Buddhist community makes it a well -loved attraction. It was officially declared a nature reserve for the first time during the end of the 1990s.
For anyone who wants to be closer to nature, hiking through Yading is a recommended activity. Most people find that the best season to visit is autumn. As a natural reserve it is the home of China’s three holy mountains, which are Jampelyang, Chenresig and Chana Dorje. The belief held by Tibetan Buddhists is that these mountains are symbols of energy, compassion and wisdom; three things that the Buddhists believe are necessary when it comes to achieving enlightenment.

Nyingchi is blessed with beautiful lakes, deep gorges, immense forests, azalea-filled meadows etc. Stepping into Nyingchi, you will find the reason why Nyingchi is renowned as the "East Swizerland" and "Jiangnan of Tibet"(Jiangnan in Chinese means the fertile and prosperous area in the south of the Yangtze). In fact, there are no peach flowers in Swizerland and no snow-capped peaks in Jiangnan. So Nyingchi really enjoys the incomparable beauty.
With the lowest elevation of only 900m and the highest elevation of 7,782m (altitude of Namche Barwa Peak), Nyingchi owns the biggest elevation gap in the world. The average altitude is about 3,100m, making it the lowest area of Tibet.

The Potala Palace, winter palace of the Dalai Lama since the 7th century, symbolizes Tibetan Buddhism and its central role in the traditional administration of Tibet. The complex, comprising the White and Red Palaces with their ancillary buildings, is built on Red Mountain in the centre of Lhasa Valley, at an altitude of 3,700m, the highest palace in the world. Also founded in the 7th century, the Jokhang Temple Monastery is an exceptional Buddhist religious complex. Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama's former summer palace, constructed in the 18th century, is a masterpiece of Tibetan art. The beauty and originality of the architecture of these three sites, their rich ornamentation and harmonious integration in a striking landscape, add to their historic and religious interest. It is one of the World Heritage Site since 1994.
Still, the Potala Palace remains an iconic part of the region and a mecca for Buddhists around the world. The name Potala is a nod to a sacred mountain in India, where the Buddha of compassion is said to dwell. Year-round, thousands of religious pilgrims circle the perimeter of the palace with prayer wheels and beads to ask for blessing. Many have traveled thousands of miles by foot just to pay their respects.
