Story behind this trip:
In 2010, during a trip on the Silk Road, we bumped into a hardcore traveler who had been traveling in China for 2 years straight. He told us about an incredible place few travelers have ever seen- the Rainbow Mountains . He was so inspired by them that he went back for a second visit after we met. It took a few months of research, scouting, and planning, but we finally got a schedule together to make it possible for you to visit this extraordinary place.
