Shakhyung
Perched dramatically upon a sheer cliff face, Shakhyung Gonpa—also revered as the Garuda Monastery—commands breathtaking panoramas of the Yellow River’s winding bands and the encircling peaks of the high Amdo mountains. As one of the four principal monastic institutions of northern Amdo, it stands as a profound cultural treasure.
The journey to the monastery is an experience in itself. The route travels along the ridges of Chagthak Khagang Mountain, offering stunning vistas of distant ranges, deep valleys, and sculpted terraces unfolding on either side. We encourage you to make full use of this scenic drive; our staff will gladly accommodate requests for photo stops or peaceful picnic breaks along the way.
We have selected Shakhyung Gonpa for its profound authenticity and serene atmosphere, remaining untouched by mass tourism. This destination offers a uniquely immersive encounter with the living spiritual heritage of the region
Karothang village
Escape to Karothang, a peaceful Tibetan village just a 90-minute drive from Xining. Nestled in nature, it offers fresh air, brilliant blue skies, and star-filled nights. Experience traditional wooden houses, stroll through an agricultural landscape, and explore scenic hill trails. An ideal retreat for a quiet overnight stay in authentic village charm.
