Tucked away in the mountains of Amdo Tibet only a five hour drive north of Chengdu, Muni Tibetan Village offers the distinct feeling of arriving at one of the most tranquil places on the planet. The village virtually floats in a green highland sea of grass and trees surrounded by high mountain ridges that have successfully held back the invasion of the outside world for centuries.
The drive into the valley is a surreal experience as you follow the Muni River and view the ancient architecture of the Tibetan homes which line both sides of the river and are accessible only by quaint covered bridges. Hosted in the warm hospitality and comfort of a Tibetan home, the next four days will allow you the opportunity to immerse yourself in an ancient culture while enjoying first-hand experiences of a way of life that is as rare as it is remote.
