Tibet is a famous sacred mountain. Why do they call it a holy mountain?

Genie Peak is 6204 meters above sea level. It is the third highest peak in Sichuan and the highest peak in Kangnan. It is also a famous sacred mountain in Tibetan areas. Genie's Tibetan name is Sama Ripa. It is the 13th goddess among the 24 sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism in my country. It is also one of the eight holy places of Vajra's wise sayings of Chakrasamvara. The Lenggu Temple at the foot of Geney Mountain was founded by Songchenpa, the first Karmapa of Tibetan Buddhism. The temple has a long history. Its temple site has unique topography, unique architectural style, and many cultural relics collected in the temple. According to legend, it has a history of 2900 years. The former Sakyamuni Buddha once praised Mount Genai as a special holy place for pure meditation, and many Tibetans from all over the world come here as pilgrims. In 1877, the famous explorer William Gill came to the Litang Plateau and saw Genie Peak. He wrote in his diary: "There are no words to describe this tall mountain. Here, travelers can experience the Tibetan people's spirit." Mood, why do they call her a holy mountain?" The hiking resources in the Genie area are very rich, and there are many combinations, ranging from 3 to 16 days. At present, there are not many hiking enthusiasts here, and many routes have yet to be development. This time we traveled through the Genie C Huanhai sub-line.

This trip to Genie started with an event call post a month ago, and eventually developed into a large team of 15 people. From equipment to supplies, everyone also carefully prepared for a month. In the early morning, we drove from Xinduqiao to Litang. There was a checkpoint on the way from Litang to Genie Scenic Area. Several girls came up to collect our identity information and distributed scenic area maps (under development) for free. We were so enthusiastic. We were all shocked - roads were being built in Zhangna Township, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Lenggu Temple. Suddenly a heavy rain came, so I hurriedly took shelter under the eaves. The rain subsided in about half an hour, and we continued on the road.

The starting point is about 3900 meters above sea level. Go up the mountain from the trail on the right side of Lenggu Temple. First, you go uphill in a dense forest, cross the river, and then go up to the meadow, where the view instantly broadens. The weather on the plateau is like raining one minute, and the sun comes out the next minute, and a rainbow is vaguely visible. The first day's itinerary didn't have much content. Everyone was quite excited to hit the plateau for the first time, so they just walked and played. Small bench and ten carat classmates. Mo Xiaoxie, a classmate who is like a dragon but never ends, plays the role of a vanguard in front of the team every day. Due to the late departure time, it was past 7pm and we had not yet arrived at the Xiaojilong Tent Valley. It was getting dark and we set up camp next to a temporary ditch.

Originally, we planned to have a relaxing day today, but unexpectedly, we almost collapsed. When I woke up in the morning, it was foggy and I couldn’t see the true appearance of Genie. Then the weather gradually cleared up and I made great progress all the way. Today’s content is about climbing the slopes, climbing over one after another 4300-4500 slopes, and winding up the smiling Keelung Tent Valley Genie. Like a shy girl, she always hides in the clouds. After reaching the top of the slope, there are two more slopes ahead. Three "pigs" gathered together (Lao Yan, Cat Brother and I are all pigs, with an age difference of 12 years) and climbed seven or eight slopes, and finally arrived at the legendary Island at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. In the river valley, follow the dirt road along the ridge to the left, and there will be a path that leads down to the river valley. Four-leaf clover, little brother and cat, cross the river, CJ classmate gives full play to the spirit of helping each other

Walking in the Daodao Valley, sometimes dark clouds cover, sometimes the sun passes by, it is quiet and beautiful. We should have cut up from the ridge opposite the Daodao Valley, but we took the wrong route and went all the way down along the Daodao Valley, but this also allowed us to appreciate the scenery in the valley. Walking down this dirt road, until 6pm, we finally saw the Reti Valley. We hired a motorcycle at the camp to go to the front team’s camp to learn about the situation. We learned that the front team had camped at Hot Ladder Camp No. 2, while we were camping at the traditional Hot Ladder Camp 5 kilometers away from them. There are many people camping here, mostly people walking on the outer ring, and the conditions of the camp are relatively mature.

Because they took the wrong road yesterday and missed the journey, half of the teammates decided to take a leisure route, and the overworked one went from Longba Pass to Gemu Village. The bench sister and I went to catch up with the front team. Today’s trip is to cross the 4980 pass. In the early morning, Genie finally showed his true face. I rode a 5KM motorcycle to Camp No. 2 and experienced a plateau motorcycle (shuangwaiwai). The Reti Valley in the morning was beautiful, but it was a pity that I didn’t take any photos. Pay attention to the track and don't go straight along the river valley. There is a dirt road that turns left and goes up the mountain. We crossed the river twice before we realized we had gone too far and turned back. After a section of dense forest, you enter the trail, and after a section of climb, you enter an open meadow. On the way, they met another duo of mythical beasts, Rainbow and Yuxuan. We met a Tibetan house on the road and warmly invited us to rest. After repairing for half an hour, I drank butter tea and ate tsampa, and felt warm instantly. There was a child who had gone to school and translated for us in Mandarin. They lived here all year round and their father had just left. Continuing to walk forward from the Tibetan tent house, we cut through the valley to the pass. The mountain on the opposite side is extremely broken and steep.

Climbing and climbing, I felt physically and mentally exhausted along the way, and finally saw the pass. The 4980 Pass was covered with wood and prayer flags, accepting us like a gate. It was already 3:40 pm after passing the pass, and the wind was strong, so we hurriedly descended to the river valley. There are blue wooden houses at the end of the 4600 River Valley. You have to pass here when coming down from the 4980 Pass or the 5040 Lapu Pass. Most of the wooden houses here are locked, and only a few have open doors. We walked downhill for another half hour and camped next to another wooden house.

When I came down, I felt a shiver in my body (wearing a down jacket). I felt that my body was losing heat, and I was a bit hypothermic. I quickly hid in my sleeping bag. Thanks to the hot water my companions heated, I finally recovered by the evening.

Yesterday’s trip was very tiring, so I decided to rest a little longer today and didn’t break camp until half past nine. Brother Sisi from the front team came up early in the morning to ask about my situation (thank you~) and informed us of today’s itinerary. They set off first, while we chased them behind today. All the way down the river valley, there is a river crossing point that leaps thousands of miles away. The distant peaks stand majestic. At 12:30 noon, we finally see the Gemu Village located in the mountains, covered with clouds and fog. If it is sunny, It must be another scene. It started to rain, so we came to a Tibetan house to take shelter. We were warmly invited to drink butter tea and cooked rice for us to eat.

After lunch and a lot of thanks, we went to the canteen in Gemu Village. The prices here were the same as outside. They were quite conscientious. I bought two bottles of Coke and a few lollipops and continued on the road. There are mobile phone signals in Gemu Village and a large area nearby, so you can contact your family and report that you are safe. The road was flat all the way, with flat rivers and a steady drizzle. Lonely wooden house. The original plan was to camp in three wooden cabin campsites, but we continued walking for another 5 kilometers, and finally caught up with the vanguard at 6:30 pm. Today’s distance was 28KM, which was also the longest distance of the day. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone lit up a bonfire, had dinner and chatted together. After dinner, Brother Sisi suddenly took out a pack of Tieguanyin from his arms and made tea. It was very comfortable to drink a cup of hot tea on this cold night. As we walked into the tent, we were surprised to see a bolide streaking across the night sky. After we got out of the mountain, we learned that it was a meteorite that hit the earth.

I thought today’s trip was almost over, but we didn’t expect that the stretch of road from Xiahaizi to Hariwengqingcuo almost caused us to collapse. There were dense bushes, and there were seemingly no paths. It took two hours to walk just 1.5KM. There was no suitable place to camp at the end of Hari Weng Qing Co, so we had to continue moving forward. When we were a third of the way, we found a temporary camp of more than ten square meters by the lake in front. It was getting dark, so we quickly set up camp on the spot. The beautiful Hari Weng Qingcuo captured by my teammates. Today is the last day. We all slept until we woke up naturally. We got up at around 9 o'clock, had eaten and drank enough, and were ready to hit the road. Sweet potatoes and porridge cooked by Chef Fugui, it’s nice to have a bowl in the morning. Suddenly I found a lot of small fish by the lake, so I took out all the extra dry food to feed the fish. All the way down, you can see Litang River in the distance.

The trip ended successfully
