Motuo, the Hidden Lotus in Tibetan, the only Chinese county with no highway connection to the outside world and inaccessible by modern vehicles, is the last county where the Yarlung Tsangpo River crosees over in China before it flows to India.

With average temperatures increasing rapidly, the environment of Tibet is under unprecedented pressure. It is imperative that trekkers make their way lightly and leave nothing behind but their proverbial footprints. Tibet’s beautiful but vulnerable landscape deserves the unmost respect.

There is a great deal to see while trekking and you will be revitalised by the natural surroundings,

but you must be prepared for extremes in weather and terrain. The time of year and the places in which

you choose to walk will dictate the equipment you need.

Tibet, the highest land on earth, is a trekker’s dream.

Its towering mountains, deep valleys and verdant forests offer unbounded opportunities for walking. On foot the joys of the Tibetan landscape are heightened and immediate, and all other modes of transport pale in comparision.
