Tibetan Highlands Horse Trek
Approximate Dates: June 15-June30, 2006 6 passenger minimum $3250.00

We started our horseback trekking business with this trip in 1986, exploring a region of Tibet that was unknown to most westerners. This is a ride back in time, on top of the world, on the high plateau of eastern Tibet. Traveling with nomads whose life and culture are largely unchanged in the last 1000 years, our ride takes us along the great divide between the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, littered with yaks and wildflowers. In the company of our Khampa "wranglers", we'll visit nomad families, small hamlets and Buddhist temples.
