Reviews
Five-star review! This trip to Gannan exceeded expectations. The itinerary was well-paced, providing ample time to slowly explore Labrang Monastery, listen to the explanations, and learn about Tibetan Buddhism and local customs. The tour leader and driver were very familiar with the area, thoughtfully reminding us of monastery etiquette and high-altitude precautions, and even recommended local specialties so we got to try authentic tsampa. The entire trip was sightseeing-focused with no shopping stops and no hidden fees. Along the way, taking in the grasslands and ancient monasteries while experiencing Gannan's unique tranquility and healing atmosphere made the journey very reassuring. I've already recommended this to my friends, and I'll choose this agency again next time I visit Gannan!
Good and pleasant journey.
