Get yourself to Yushu (DIY style), then crash the welcome dinner party tonight.

For Day 1, we recommend the art of slow-motion living: wander around downtown and vibe with the new Yushu, or go visit the world’s largest Mani stone pile—because why not start with something that’s literally the biggest?

**The First Day of Rafting: See the Mountains, Savoring the Tranquility of Nature and Meditation**

In the early morning, we depart from the camp and make our way to the viewing platform. Over the course of two hours, we immerse ourselves in the act of gazing upon the majestic mountainous landscape, allowing the interplay of dawn's light and shadow and the silhouettes of the peaks to fully occupy the mind.

Following the midday meal, we commence a twelve-kilometer journey upon the water. As the current alternates between turbulent rapids and gentle, placid stretches, one may experience the fleeting exhilaration of adrenaline—an ephemeral response to nature's primal pulse.

Arriving at our river campsite, we shed the physical residue of the day’s exertions. Within the ensuing quietude of the natural surroundings, we practice meditation, cultivating inner stillness. This is accompanied by reflection upon the principles of "Leave No Trace," contemplating our transient presence within this enduring landscape.

The day concludes with the evening meal at the camp, a simple act of sustenance that deepens our appreciation for the profound serenity and subtle contentment unique to these wild mountains.

Level Up: Hot Springs & Novel Adventures**

The morning continues our journey downstream. A 13-kilometer rafting allows you to grow more at ease with the now-familiar currents, fully savoring the simple joy of being on the water. By midday, we arrive near Zongda Monastery for a meal, and from our second-day departure point, one can feel the solemn atmosphere and distinct cultural presence surrounding the temple grounds.

The afternoon introduces a novel adventure: navigating 20 kilometers aboard single-person inflatable kayaks and SUP boards (Stand-Up Paddleboards). This unique vantage point offers fresh perspectives on the riverbanks, presenting both a personal challenge and a distinct form of enjoyment.

As evening falls, we proceed to the Waka Hot Springs. Upon checking into the hot spring hotel, immerse yourself in the thermal waters. Let the heat wash away the day's fatigue, soothing both body and mind in preparation for the journey ahead.
