Sichuan. Infinity Under the Highland Sky. Day 4

We reach Litang, one of the highest cities in the world, at just over 4,000 meters. Our hotel has oxygen supply in the rooms for those who have not yet acclimatized.

From here it is almost 1,500 kilometers to Lhasa, which shows us the dimensions of this region. The highland grassland stretches to the horizon, grassy green in summer, flowering in spring, and rather dry brown in autumn and winter. But no matter what time of year it is super impressive in size. With a bit of luck we will see eagles above the grassland. If we travel at the beginning of August, the Tibetan Equestrian Festival is taking place, a unique spectacle, not for tourists, but the “Olympics” of the Tibetan natives here.

Travel time: approx. 5.5 hours

Overnight stay in a 4-star homestay in the highlands
