Ali is not a place to check off your list, but a place to experience!

📍 **Why Ali?**
"No Ali, no Tibet"
This is a pure land blessed by sacred mountains and holy lakes, a hidden realm where wild wilderness and ancient civilization intertwine.
The pilgrimage around Mount Kailash, the azure holy light of Lake Manasarovar, the magical landforms of the Zanda Clay Forest, the millennial mysteries of the Guge Kingdom…
Every step is a pilgrimage to freedom.
