As mysterious and inscrutable to the visitor as the characters of its complex language, China tantalizes us with splendid relics of its long history; with a natural beauty ranging from alpine to florid rainforest to eerily eroded desert; with dozens of ethnic peoples whose distinct identities have evolved through invasion and revolution. Where does one even start to comprehend the immensity of China? Mandala Adventures begins in the present, landing you midstream in a country whose enterprising people seek personal expression and the daily comforts of the 21st century, where ancient gifts of artistry, innovation and commercial savvy have re-surfaced to propel a new era of Chinese prominence. And from here we journey back toward its many sources, both man-made and nature-sprung, which augment the powerful current of China.
Embarking from the exotic Silk Road oasis of Kashgar, we trek from the verges of the Taklamakan Desert into the remote watershed of the eastern Karakorum. During this epic expedition, we trek over high passes and ford rivers on camelback.
Visit the quiet monasteries and quaint homes that cling to craggy mountaintop spires in this rare trip to the peaks of Huangshan.
