ganzi
Kavalori Mountain, located between Ganzi County and Xinlong County in Sichuan, is said to be the dojo of Yongzong Daojie, the God of Wealth of Bon religion. .
This route starts from Ganzi County, runs through the pastoral road on the north and south mountains, and circles Kavaloji, so it is named "Kavaloji Grand Ring Line". There are basically pastoral trails throughout the whole journey. The difficulty is that there are many fork roads at the intersections and the trails are not obvious, which slows down the travel speed and spends two days in a camp without water.
In general, there is a highway between the southern slope and Kavalorge, and the view is mainly from a distance. The late autumn colorful forest on the southern slope is also a must; the northern slope is deep below the main peak, and the visual impact is greater and more majestic.

Day 1 Zeda Village - Forest and Meadow Camp without water source. On the first day, we drove from Ganzi County to the starting point of the hillside behind Zeda Village. From there, we went all the way up the ridge line, with a panoramic view of the nearby villages.
It is the autumn harvest season, whether it is farmland or mountains, it is all golden.
This is also the time when the weather is the most stable. During the 8-day itinerary, we only encountered two showers without raincoats.
Not long after entering the mountain, I encountered a group of yaks. Not far away, there were two tents of herdsmen, smoking leisurely.
Temporary tents for herders.
In the afternoon, when I looked back and could no longer see the county seat, a large piece of colorful forest suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, which was amazing and dazzling. The earth is no longer monotonous and golden. It seems to be the last carnival before winter.
We played there for a long time. It was only this time that I discovered that shooting Cailin with changing colors is a test of the camera capabilities of the mobile phone, not to mention photography. The color rendering is basically difficult to reproduce 1/10,000th of what the naked eye can see. Annoyed in my heart, not bringing a SLR is the pain point this time.
Cailin and I.
Cailin and Mr. Big Penguin.
The camp at night was a small flat meadow extending out from the mountainside. There was no water source. We drank water on the way and went all the way to the camp on our backs. From here you can see a bit of the snow top of Cavaloges, distant and calm in the pink evening glow.
Day2 Cross-section of the mountainside - Yawu Temple - Luru Village, Shadui Township Today's journey is quite tortuous. We later speculated that it may be because this area belongs to the junction of the grazing area of the two villages, and there are few herdsmen, so the trails are intermittent and many The intersection does not connect. After pulling out the camp, it took a while to find the way. The intersection was less than 100 meters above the camp, and there was a prayer flag that had faded from the sun. At first, it was messy like a beast path, but it gradually became clear. All the way through the mountainside in the forest, but on the left side, you can clearly see the snow top of Kavalorge on the opposite side, and the Yalong River rushing along the road at the bottom of the ditch.
In the morning, we temporarily decided not to go over the pass on the right according to the designed route, but kept walking along the cross-cutting pastoral path. At noon, the pastoral road suddenly broke. We were a little dumbfounded. Looking forward, it turned out that the hill under our feet was not connected to the opposite hill. There was a deep ditch in the middle. The bottom of the ditch was almost at the same altitude as the road. The road is covered with vegetation taller than people. After much discussion, I decided not to go back, first descend to the bottom of the ditch, pass the village on the side of the road, and then climb the mountain again. Who knows that the way down the mountain is also hard to find. It seems that there is a way to go straight forward. After a difficult descent of 100 meters, I found that it was a cliff; After going down the mountain intersection, there is a steep slope all the way. After going down, I found that this was actually a temple named Yawu Temple (locally written as Yawu Temple). That night we stayed at the Goukou of Luru Village near the temple.
From afar, the main temple of Yawu Temple has a unique location.
Lu Ru Village.
Day 3 Luru Village - Collapsed Shepherd Camp First, it was reasonable to go up along the ravine, but the river became wider as it went up, and the road gradually disappeared. Turning back, at a place with prayer flags, we went up a steep slope to explore the road. After a steep climb, we came to a gentle entrance to the woods. The road was wide enough to pass horses. The big penguin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is like a The right way!"
There are trees along the way, until you come to the first big meadow, where there are pasture houses and large prayer flags, which is obviously a common gathering place for the villagers.
Going forward, we began to walk through the rhododendron forest. After climbing over a few hills, we found a collapsed chalet, where the view was wide, and we could already see the two small snow tops of Cavaloges.
However, no water source was found around the pasture house. While hesitating, two herders digging herbs came to the top of the mountain in the evening. When asked, they enthusiastically informed that there was a stream nearby, and they needed to leave the pastoral road and go vertically down the mountain. Go for a while.

What a lucky night!
Day4 Ranch after Ranch - the most beautiful Ranch Camps Ranch and huts are gradually increasing, one after the other, a bit dizzying.
On the way, there was only one person in a pasture. An elderly couple went up the mountain to herd cattle and warmly invited us to drink butter tea.
In the afternoon, I came to a small Haizi. This is probably the first Haizi I saw on this line. The color is dark green, and there is not much scenery at all.
After going around two more hills, the scenery became friendly again, until the camp that night - a group of huts facing the southern slope of Kavalorge appeared in front of you. At this time, the sunset has already slanted westward, and the soft afterglow falls on the top of the mountain, and even the whole world becomes gentle. The withered alpine pasture has a bit of idyllic soothing and tenderness.

Day5 Cailin - Youma Ranch - Aji Village - Mizoguchi Camp all the way to the south, getting closer and closer to the main peak of Kavalorge, and the glaciers on the southern slope are clearly visible.
Cloudy weather with strong wind. The wind blows the white clouds and casts waves of moving shadows on the distant mountains, the light and shadow are amazing.
South Slope of Kavalorge.
At noon we encountered a small colorful forest, followed by a vast large pasture, occupying and penetrating several nearby hills.
We walked a few steps, and two horses and horses came running from a distance, walking together like good friends, well-behaved and lovely. When they came a little closer, they stopped to observe, as if to identify whether we were their masters, then ran a little closer, continued to stop and observe, and after repeating it several times, they turned around and stopped in confusion (finally). Found the wrong person!).
Cute pony horse.
Try to recognize people!
Found the wrong person!
Beautiful large pasture on top of the hill.
From the big ranch, we can already see the direction of today's travel - Aji Village and Dagai Town at the foot of the mountain. We have to go down to the side of the road in the village, then turn north, and circle into the valley north of the mountain.
However, the road leading to the foot of the mountain is not very conspicuous. We were once again caught in the dilemma of finding the way. We went around until we woke up a monk who was practicing in a hut on the mountain, and we went down the mountain smoothly after his guidance. However, this road is also obviously lacking maintenance. Unlike the rancher's road, it is wide and narrow in the second half, and there are occasional landslides and forks, which need to be carefully identified.
There is a section of road after going out of Aji Village, and then enter the mountain again. This time, the Mizoguchi was obvious, and a mechanized road was built. Tonight's camp was by the creek shortly after entering the mountain.

Colorful forest on the downhill road.
The camp by the river, the yellow leaves on the mountains behind it are quite spectacular.
Day6 Machine Farming Road - Yakou - Hillside Camp Without Water The morning's journey is all machine farming roads, leading to the large pastures on the top of the mountain. There are many pasture houses here, and many of them are not locked. We have a little regret that we didn't come here for the night before.
Another colorful pasture.
Looking back at the foot of the mountain.
Continuing on, we came to the east of Cavaloges along the way, far away, and it happened to be a cloudy day, so there was no good angle for shooting. This route was originally intended to connect the southern and northern sections. We played for a while on the highest pass today, but we didn't realize it was getting dark. When I went down the mountain, I found that the camp to the bottom of the ditch had to pass through a rhododendron forest that was taller than people. After trying to find a way with headlamps in vain, we had no choice but to camp on the weeds on a sloping field. It was a night without water.
Hillside camp without water.
Day 7 Descending to the village road - Jingou - Sister Lake camp, it was a little bright and then got up early to pull out the camp, got into the rhododendron forest and walked for about an hour, and finally heard the sound of the gurgling stream. After refilling the water, I continued to descend for an hour, and I came to the small meadow that I saw from afar yesterday, and just sat down to have breakfast. But this small meadow is actually not suitable for camping. It is located in the lower reaches of the river and the land is very wet. A little further down, we came to a village road. We met two herdsmen who rode yaks on horseback, and they went on the same road with us. It is said that they often traveled to and from nearby villages to transport medicinal materials.
We declined the invitation to go on horseback, and followed the horses and horses into the river valley ahead. Crossing the bridge, turning the corner, facing the river valley - it turned out to be a golden world as decidedly different as if it was cut off from the outside world. The yellow leaves in autumn covered the mountains on both sides, and the branches like weeping willows stretched out their hands to me, and the color of golden autumn passed by.
Indescribable beauty, the beauty of autumn, she is difficult to be exquisite in every detail, but it can make the whole world freeze for her.
We stop and go, the river valley is long and winding, often making people forget time, as if just keep walking, you can walk into this autumn painting. 与此原文有关的更多信息要查看其他翻译信息，您必须输入相应原文
