This is a six-day Tibetan homestay experience for those who desire an opportunity to truly absorb this ancient culture in Amdo Tibet. These six days maximize both the cultural and natural aspects of this majestic land and its people.
Designed as a quiet get-away far from the crowds of holiday tourists, enjoy being hosted for four days in the comfortable home of one of Extravagant Yak’s most accomplished guides: Tsering. She and her family represent the best of Tibetan hospitality and will proudly introduce you to traditional Amdo Tibetan culture in their comfortable home and authentic mountain village.
Amdo is found on the far eastern edge of the Tibetan plateau and contains the county of Ruoergai (Tibetan: Zoige) in the northeast corner of the county where Sichuan meets Gansu. Though largely a vast grassland home to nomadic communities, Ruoergai contains a small range of mountains where dozens of Tibetan farming communities have lived for centuries. One such community includes Tsering’s family.
