Hike or Ride to the Camp
Ever dreamed of staying with nomads in a tent on the high Tibetan plateau or taking part in the seasonal yak migrations?
As part of Chyoger Treks overall mission of creating conditions for nomads and visitors to develop real and authentic relationships, we facilitate home stays with nomadic yak herders, either in tents in summer or fall, and in their small stone huts in winter and spring.
- All stays are extremely basic.
- Stay in a tent or hut with the family and dine with them.
- Help with chores — yak herding, yak milking, and yak dung collecting.
- No bathrooms, no showers, and no privacy.
- Areas differ depending on the time of year.
Price is Y160/$22 per night with dinner, bed, and breakfast. Y30/$4 extra for lunch. We also offer workshops in nomadic skills.
Check out Nomad Homestay, Gyergo Nunnery, and Meituk Lake Trek for a homestay-based trek incorporating authentic tent and hut stays. Great for cold seasons! We also offer up to 10-day routes, either self-guided or guided, hiking or riding. Contact us for details and custom planning according to season and your budget and group make-up.
