Matsutake Freedom: Forage, Feast & Find Yourself in Yunnan's Wild Heart
Nestled in the untouched valleys of Luoguqing, this journey is an invitation to freedom—freedom to forage your own precious matsutake mushrooms, freedom to feast under starry skies, and freedom to find yourself in the quiet wisdom of Yunnan’s mountains. Guided by the Pumi people, you’ll step into forests where every pine needle tells a story and every meal is a celebration of nature’s generosity. This is not just a trip; it’s a return to simplicity, a sensory immersion into sustainable traditions, and a rare chance to taste what true connection—to the land, to culture, and to yourself—really feels like.
