Another highlight of the tour is visiting the source of the Yellow River at 4,300 meters above sea level. The Yellow River is the second longest in China with a total length of over 5400kms /3400 miles. From it’s source to its winding banks along the Tibetan Plateau, the entire Yellow River area is stunning. It offers everything from high snow-capped mountains, to grasslands filled with yaks to farmlands. The Tibetan culture in this area is some of the best preserved in all of Tibet.
