11-Nights The Wild Side of China: A Nature Odyssey

Meet Pandas Up Close & Search for Rare Wildlife on Remote Nature Reserves

Deep in the Minshan Mountains of Sichuan province, clear rivers course through deep gorges, and lush forests shelter some of the world's most endangered wildlife. This is the last wild habitat of the giant panda, which subsists on the bamboo protected within a network of remote nature reserves. Supported by WWF, these little-visited wilderness enclaves also harbor rare moon bears, golden snub-nosed monkeys, shaggy takin, Chinese goral, blue sheep and exquisite birds, including the golden pheasant. Enjoy multiple close-up visits with giant pandas at three different research and breeding bases, and search for endearing red pandas in Labahe Nature Reserve. Discover a side of China few travelers experience on our unique itinerary, carefully crafted to reveal Chinese nature at its most entrancing.
