Horse riding with Tibetan nomads in Langmusi
The ultimate experience! We booked the 2D/1N experience with Langmusi Horse Trekking company.🐴
For 880rmb we spent 2 days riding horses through flower filled grasslands and rolling hills at 4000m altitude. 🌸
Our destination was the camp of Tibetan nomads and we slept in their tent made of yak hair. We helped the women gather water from the stream and watched the men herd yaks and feed them in the morning under the cover of fog ⛺️
The absolute highlight of my 4 years living in China! 🤩

Sun and moon in one's heart
Most of us would have had the stay at Shangrila hotels, which by itself says that they're referring to something stupendous. The word Shangri-la in Tibetan language is 'Sun and moon in one's heart❤️', also others refer to it as the Eden of the east🏞️ or paradise on Earth💫.
After finishing up two days in Lijiang, we decided to go for this stupendous place. Even the pit stops to buy snacks have this sort of view, where there's huge range of mountains. Here we see the Haba snow mountain, the tip of the iceberg literally 😄😄. And you can see the Tibetan touch everywhere, even though we're still in China. I'm totally in love with this place. #shangri #tibetan

Trying the Tibetan traditional suit. It will be a very good memory of mine forever, the hotel owner asked my daughter to try her Tibetan suit without payment. She also took photos for us too! I appreciate this hotel a lot , they can communicate in English, and helped us with many things during our stay. I booked Zhongshan Inn hotel via Trip.com, for sure I'm never disappointed in booking hotels from Trip. #ZhongshanInnHotel #china #tibetan
A typical Tibetan noodle soup.
I indulged in a bowl of vegetable Thenthuk at a Tibetan and Nepali kitchen, and it was an absolute delight. The rich aroma teased my senses, and with each spoonful, I fell deeper in love with its savory goodness. The hearty noodles, mingling with tender vegetables, created a symphony of flavors that warmed both my body and soul.
It's no surprise that Thenthuk is a staple for Tibetan nomads, providing comfort and sustenance during the harsh winters. Whether made with vegetables or meat, its deliciousness knows no bounds. A culinary experience like no other, leaving me longing for more.
