Itineraries of 2 to 7 days can be arranged traversing approx. 40-50km a day on camel. These itineraries are planned in the region of Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Gansu. Nights halts are usually given near the village to provide opportunities to mingle with the local village folks and to provide insight to the traditional way of their life and culture. Besides one camel per person on the safari, a camel cart accompanies the tour to handle baggage and allow riders to take rest as and when required.

Panda Bear Tour

As a carnivore, 99% of the panda’s food is made up of bamboo. The arrow bamboo is its main food item. It eats the bamboo with great dexterity and its powerful bite and jaws crush it easily. It eats up to 15-20 kg of bamboo, much of which passes undigested and can be seen in its large green droppings. In spring it moves to a lower elevation to obtain the fresh umbrella bamboo shoots just emerging from the ground.

Solitary as the Panda Bear usually is, it seeks out partners during the mating season. It usually becomes sexually mature at around 5-6 years of age. In spring, the female comes into heat for a few days. Many males will compete to copulate with her. After a gestation period of 4-5 months, one of two cubs may be born. They are pink and helpless with weight around 60-130g. The mother will only care for one, but protect it day and night. They father plays no part in care of the infant. Mother stays with the infant for about 1.5 years.

Wanglang Nature Reserve: Wanglang Nature Reserve, established in 1963 by the Sichuan Forestry Bureau, is located in the Minshan Mountains in some of China’s most important Panda Bearhabitat. Wanglang, whose purpose is to protect the giant Panda Bearand its habitat, and the 10 other nearby reserves in remote areas of northern Sichuan are critical to the continued survival of the giant panda. There are estimated to be about 30 wild pandas living in Wanglang. At Wanglang you have a unique opportunity to experience the lush forests, beautiful mountains, and thick bamboo groves of the panda’s home. Additionally, you can visit the colorful Baima people who have lived in the area just outside the reserve for hundreds of years. Because there are no captive pandas at the reserve and because wild pandas live in high mountain areas in thick foliage and avoid humans, you will probably not see a Panda Bearat Wanglang, However, your trip to the panda’s home will be one you will talk about for years to come and your visit to Wanglang will help support conservation of the world’s treasured creatures, the giant panda.
