Songtsam, an award-winning luxury collection of hotels and tours located in Tibet and Yunnan Provinces of China, opened Songtsam Glamping Palpa.
Songtsam’s first Glamping property located in Tibet in the Palpa Village (approx. 10,498 ft above sea level) on the Niyang River between Nyingchi and Lhasa, provides a close-to-nature way of enjoying the natural beauty of Tibet. Songtsam Glamping Palpa offers 36 luxury tents, a reception tent, 4 dining tents and a recreational tent.
Songtsam Glamping Palpa enjoys an enchanting location in the Palpa Valley area among the green mountains surrounded by virgin forests of lush spruce, fir and alpine oak. Guests can see the clear Baironggou River as it flows past the camp, while the forests, meadows and highland barley fields create a picture of peace and beauty in the Tibetan countryside. During the day, guests can observe the yaks in the pasture and venture into the hidden forest.
While minimising the pressure on the local ecological environment, Songtsam is still able to have its guests learn about the local farming and animal husbandry that has been the way of life for generations. About a 10-minute walk from Palpa lays the flat valley pasture, dotted with hawthorn, peach and fir trees, where local Palpa people go to venture and work.
There are currently 37 family households living in the Palpa Village, located close to the Songtsam glamping site.
