Dabao Temple Hike

The trek begins at Ruobola Hill, heading through the forests toward Dabao. During the journey the highest sections are around 3,500 meters above sea level.

The scenery along the way is very beautiful, and typical of the Shangri-La region.

Close to the temple you can visit local Tibetan villages, including Zuomuguzang and Cuolong.

After visiting the temple you can be driven back to your hotel. The total walking time is six hours.
