Excellent
It was a very unique experience overall, with a great tour guide who we really enjoyed interacting with and learning from. We covered a lot of ground and because of that we had to do a lot of driving which at times was a bit much. We loved meeting with the no mad families and interacting and learning about the wildlife.

Action packed and great itinerary. Despite being a very busy itinerary, the tour provided ample amount of me time. Activities also had active parts so I didn’t feel like I was just walking to a museum or sight and being lectured. There was moderate hikes, milking yaks, making dumplings, etc.
