Situated in the lower reaches of the Yaluzhangbu River, the Nyingchi Prefecture has an average altitude of approximately 3’000 meters. The area is known for its mild wet weather and stunning landscape and is inhabited by the Menba and Luoba people who have preserved many of their ancient customs and rituals. They have their own totems and various life styles and some of them remain in patriarch clan communes. In the isolated Yarlung Zangbo Great Canyon they live by gathering, hunting and slash-and-burn cultivation. You will stay overnight at the “Jialong Hotel”.
