Amdo and The Shaman Festival

Miracles, mystery, and authority of Tibetan Shaman Festival

As you watch, drumbeats reverberate in the air, men are piercing their cheeks or backs, ritual dances are being performed by men in strange dress. Here, in far off Amdo, you are witness not just to one town's shamanic festival, but those of three different villages - Mayba, Skkyi, and Lhanggya.

Yet there is more on this trip - the biggest stupa in Amdo; huge monasteries with wonderful artwork, carving, sculpture, applique, prayers, and salt tea with the monks, breathtaking scenery. This is truly a trip to another world that you will never forget!
