Mt Amnye Machen Getting there & around

Getting there & away

You can approach the mountain from two directions. It’s possible to take the bus to Mǎqìn (Tawo) and then hitch or hire a minivan out to Xuěshān (Chuwarna), the traditional starting point of the kora (pilgram path). Buses to Mǎqìn (nine hours) depart Xīníng at 8.45am (Y62) and 9.30am (Y77) and there are also evening sleepers (Y82).

From the west, first get yourself to Mǎduō or Huāshíxiá, and then find a jeep to Xiàdàwǔ. From Xīníng, buses to Mǎduō (Y83, 10 hours) leave daily at 8am.
