Cloud Village! Moska 2-Day Trip for Only 650 RMB per Person to Feed Marmots

Why Is It All Over Social Media? A Secluded Paradise A hidden village at 4,500 meters above sea level, home to only 73 Tibetan households, preserving ancient traditions like handwritten scriptures and Sang rituals. With no shops or signal, it’s truly "the last pure land on Earth." Marmot Kingdom: In summer, the meadows are filled with chubby marmots. Bring biscuits to feed and take photos with them (⚠️ no touching to avoid scratches). Cuteness level 💯. Budget Traveler’s Dream Admission: Free! (Save big compared to Daocheng Yading’s 266 RMB fee). Accommodation: Tibetan family dormitory for 80 RMB/person (includes breakfast and dinner, with authentic butter tea). Transport: Shared ride from Chengdu for 200 RMB/person directly to the village, with an exciting off-road adventure through primal forests! Detailed Itinerary (Tested & Pitfall-Free) ✅ Day 1: Chengdu → Moska Village (7-hour drive) Must-Stop Spots Along the Way: 🌉 Danba Tibetan Village Viewing Platform: Free photos of watchtowers and pear blossom terraces (best in March-April). 🌲 Secret Dangling Valley: 30-minute hike to Hulu Lake, where snow-capped mountains reflect like sapphires (bring oxygen!). Night Stay at a Tibetan Home: Gather around the stove for yak meat stew with potatoes and listen to Grandpa’s tales of King Gesar 🌌. ✅ Day 2: Wildlife Encounter + Blessings → Chengdu 6:00: Join the herders for milking! Hand-feed baby yaks and wear Tibetan robes to churn butter (homemade cheese included). 9:00: Meadow Feeding Time! Use unsalted biscuits to lure marmots out (📸 burst mode recommended). 11:00: Temple Blessings—Lamas will guide you in scattering Lungta prayer flags for family wishes (just donate 10 RMB as incense money). Local Insider Tips ✨ Instagram-Worthy Moments Prayer Flag Guide: Hang a 5-meter prayer flag at the mountain pass behind the village (30 RMB/flag, purchased from locals)—each flutter carries a prayer. Stargazing Spot: After 23:00, head to the eastern meadow for a vertical Milky Way over the village (tripod required). Handicraft Experience: Learn to make tsampa and paint thangkas with Zhuoma—keep your creations! ⚠️ Must-Know Warnings Transport: The last 30 km is a rocky road—only SUVs can handle it (sedans will scrape!). Altitude Sickness: Avoid washing your hair on the first day! Drink free Rhodiola tea at Tibetan homes. Etiquette: → No photos in temples; prayer wheels must be turned clockwise ⤴️. → Never feed marmots chocolate or chips (it makes them sick). "When a marmot nibbles biscuits from your palm, you’ll understand true healing!"
