This quick trip is jam-packed with special sites of cultural, religious, and historic significance. Begin your trip in the historic city of Xining, the capital of Qinghai province and travel beyond the city to see two of Amdo’s most famous attractions: Qinghai Lake and Kumbum Monastery. Then hop on the train to Lhasa for the rail ride of a lifetime.
This Mt. Amnye Machen halfway trek offers the best trekking experience in eastern Amdo. It is the most famous pilgrimage route and best trekking adventure tour in the very region. It covers an area size of 660 acres and 13 peaks, the highest of which rises over 6082m above sea level. The fifth Dalai Lama called it the Ever-white Peak. We would recommend this trek from May to December.
