Day 1 Chongqing → Danba
All day
7:00-7:30 Check in at Exit 3B of Jiazhou Road Station on Metro Line 3 and assemble for departure;
Beautiful scenery is always on the road. We travel long distances just for a glimpse of prosperity. Along the highway, we gradually enter the Sichuan Basin from the mountain city. The scenery that is different from the mountain city is eye-catching. Then, from the basin to the plateau, the changes in the mountain topography make the air gradually change. Slowly entering the thin air area, we feel the plateau's welcome ceremony for us.
We arrived in Danba around 16:30, and the fatigue from the long drive was relieved at this moment.
After checking into the hotel, stroll along the streets later in the evening to experience Tibetan folk customs and taste delicious food.
P.S.: The driving distance on the first day is quite long. It is recommended to bring your own comfortable travel items such as headrests. When entering a high altitude area from a low altitude, there will be some altitude sickness. If you feel any discomfort, please inform the staff in time.
Day 2 Danba → Mosika Village → Dangling
All day
After getting up early at 8:30 and having breakfast, we set off for Mosca by car;
Later, we'll transfer to a local off-road vehicle and enter Mosca Village. October in Mosca is breathtakingly beautiful. As the sun casts a shadowy world across the hillsides, the beauty of Mosca is fully revealed. Enjoy plenty of photos. Afterward, you can search for Mosca's adorable marmots scattered throughout the lawns, interact with them with treats, and pose for adorable photos.
In the afternoon, we continued from Moska by local bus to Dangling Village. After staying at a local farmhouse, we wandered around the Tibetan village, taking in the stunning plateau scenery. In the evening, after a group dinner, we enjoyed singing, dancing, and playing games.
ps: 1. Do not directly touch the groundhog to avoid bacteria and other problems
2. Dangling Village is a native Tibetan village with simple conditions. Please bring your own dirty sleeping bag when traveling.
3. You can purchase snacks and meals on your own in Danba County to prepare for the Dangling activities.

The clouds, light and plateau vegetation create a beautiful landscape painting;
Then we will take a bus to Jiayilacuo. It takes about 40 minutes from the village to the starting point of the hike and about 3 hours to reach Jiayilacuo Lake.
Hidden deep in the mountains, Jiayi Lacuo is called "Milk Sea" by locals, which means milky white lake. From here, you can look up at the three sacred mountains of Dangling and enjoy a unique view.
In the afternoon, we returned to the starting point along the river valley and took a bus back to Dangling.

After breakfast, we will start our light hike to Dangling Huluhai, entering this charming resort in the Hengduan Mountains and enjoying the charming natural scenery of Dangling along the way.
Go up along the Kelu River Valley to [Gulu Lake] (4150 meters above sea level). Gulu Lake is a gourd-shaped lake consisting of two lakes, one large and one small. Continuing in the foreground, you can see the small Gulu Lake. After climbing about 200 meters from the small Gulu Lake, you will reach the viewing point. To the east is the panoramic Gulu Lake, and to the west is Zhuoyongcuo Lake [4300 meters above sea level] at the foot of Sanshen Mountain. It becomes more sacred under the blessing of the glacier. In the afternoon, return to Dangling Village by the same route.
In the afternoon, we left this paradise by car and went to Zhonglu Tibetan Village to stay and rest.
Kind tips:
(1) The round trip hike from Dangling Village to Huluhai and Zhuoyongcuo is 17 km and takes about 7-8 hours.
(1) You can go to Huluhai from Dangling Village on foot or on horseback. If you need to ride a horse, you need to order a horse from the local horse caravan one day in advance (the price for a one-way ride is 200 yuan and the round-trip ride is 400 yuan). Riding a horse is a personal behavior. If you fall off the horse, it will not be the responsibility of our company.
(2) Huluhai is 2 km away from Zhuoyongcuo. The round trip hiking time is 3-4 hours. Please assess your physical fitness and time.
(3) There are no food outlets around Huluhai, so you need to prepare your own meal today.
(4) The weather on the plateau is unpredictable. Please prepare rain protection when hiking to Huluhai.
