Hiking and checking in the forgotten pure land in the world: Moska
the autumn meadows, hiking and climbing. Moska is located next to the Jinlong Snow Mountain in Danba, Sichuan. It is a canyon area of the Hengduan Mountains and a plateau pasture that spans Ganzi and Aba states and involves Daofu, Jinchuan, and Danba counties. The Tibetan dialect means a place of auspicious flatness. This place was once the place where King Gesar fought and lived, and it is also a pure land where kind people carefully created a harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
Moska is a small village with only more than a hundred villagers, but it is located at an altitude of 3900 meters, and even has to cross the primitive forest of Jinlong Mountain, making it a secret place in the valley.
The villagers here still retain the ancient nomadic habits. The description of the nomadic way of life in historical materials is: "Eating meat and drinking cheese, not farming", now Moska has changed such a single behavior, let people spread cattle and sheep in the meadow, the scene of the sea of flowers is passionate and romantic, they are happily and peacefully guarding this pure land.
In the vast and sparsely populated plateau, there is a magical phenomenon: there are more small animals here than people, especially the famous one is the groundhog called the Moska elf. The villagers feel that all things have spirituality and will never hurt it. , Will also take the initiative to feed.
Some people say that even if you don’t go to Nepal, you can feel the highest happiness index brought by simple life in Moska. The villagers live in harmony with the animals here, and the quiet and nothing else life, here seems to be able to let the pointer stop, it is also the most mysterious heaven on earth.
The colorful prayer flags here are dancing with the wind, spreading the faith of the devout Tibetans. Overlooking from the top of the mountain, Moska Village is like a blooming snow lotus, mysterious and beautiful, sleeping under the clouds, quiet and peaceful.
The people of Moska are guarding this pure land, in the transcendental scenery, people and wild animals live in harmony, and unconsciously reach the perfect state of "the unity of man and nature".

One of Mosca's biggest attractions is this cute "big mouse". The locals call the snow pig, we call the groundhog, but it is a veritable net red.
The groundhog and the Tibetans live together, and the Tibetan village can be seen everywhere, but it is more imaginary than the imagination, and it takes a long time to seduce it. Oh, its not easy to eat. Its not afraid of death.
"Seduce" the groundhog must come slowly, and then get mixed before you can get started. If you are particularly afraid of life, you may want to change one, don't stalk! But after all, it is a wild animal, you must pay attention to safety!

Before I came, my friend said that Moss cartoon road, and I still have trekking poles. When I saw this mountain, I realized that I had a foresight.
If it is a friend who hasn't climbed the mountain for a long time, don't underestimate the mountain that looks not high. It can be almost 4200 meters above sea level. It is a little tired to climb a hill with an altitude of 4200. Be careful not to be high.
However, at the top of the mountain, you can overlook the village of Mosca, making up for the regret that there is no plane, not aerial photography. There is no one on the top of the mountain. There is a feeling of enjoying this world.

Mosca Village is located in Danba County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is a hidden Tibetan village. It was only accessible on foot in the early years. It took only two years to pass the road, but it is still not easy. It takes about 10 hours to drive. .
Once again, many people have asked me why I always come here, as I said, there are many scenes here that are little known.
For example, this Tibetan village, even if it is a holiday, is sparsely populated, walks around, feels very comfortable, just like this quiet and leisurely feeling, and hopes that there will not be too many people to disturb this tranquility.

The marmots in the village of Bhutan Bamoska
Mosca are super cute, and they are raised by the people. The locals call them snow beads.
The squirrels are wild and can be seen in Mosca. It is said that the monks here used to feed them with food, so they will be close to people. Although the groundhog can be seen in many places, there is no cuteness here, no close people here.
Just feed them and they will stare at you. They eat cookies, so please prepare the cookies in advance. It is recommended to be long biscuits because I am afraid they bite into my hand. However, under normal circumstances, it is not biting, as long as you don't tease them.
The squirrels come out for food every morning, and when they are full, they go back to the hole, so most of the time they can see them in the morning. There are several holes to see at the entrance to the temple.
The squirrels began to hibernate in November and will only come out in March of the following year.
There are two ways to enter Mosca: hiking or carpooling
Damba city hotels or inns have a lot of carpool information, you can let the innkeeper help.
There are two routes on foot, one is to take Dandong Township and cross the Jinlong Mountain Pass; the other is through the Erwa Village.
