Fungal & Floral Foray in Tibet

By morel delimma ⋅ December 3, 2007 ⋅  Print this post ⋅ Post a comment

Our “mushroaming” tours to Tibet are once in a lifetime fungal, botanical and cultural experiences in some of the most stunning landscapes on the planet. Tibet is not only endowed with an incomparably rich, ancient spiritual culture but also a long tradition in collecting, eating and trading mushrooms. During the summer, mushroom collection and markets are peaking. We will encounter matsutake, boletes, caesars, chanterelles, ganoderma, gypsies and many other exotic species throughout the tour.

We will explore the forests, meadows and mountains of Kongpo, Tibet’s extremely biodiverse southeastern region. In addition we will experience sacred sites in Lhasa and beyond. Daniel Winkler leads the tour supported by Tibetan guides. Logistics will be expedited by High Asia Expeditions.

This tour is from 2-19 August, 2008. Visit our Tibetan pages at Mushroom Roaming for more information!
