Litang

Litang is a county of the traditional Kham Region of Eastern Tibet, currently located in the southwest of Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, western Sichuan province. With an elevation of nearly 13,000 ft, Litang has an alpine subarctic climate. If I didn't know better I would I have though I was back in the States. This location had the most ornate hostel we stayed at our entire trip.
