Shambhala Circle Benefits

Early Access to Expeditions

Be the first to hear about new routes, rare permits, and limited-seat adventures before they go public.

Some expeditions fill up within hours — Circle members get the inside scoop and first pick of the spots, ensuring you never miss a journey that calls to you.

Insider Events & Gatherings

Beyond the expeditions, the Circle comes together in real life — at dinners, storytelling nights, film screenings, and spontaneous reunions across China and beyond.

These gatherings are where strangers become family: sharing laughter, photos, and the kind of stories that only make sense to those who’ve been out there too.

Behind-the-Scenes Access

Go beyond the public stories.

Get early updates, planning notes, and raw behind-the-lens moments from Alberto and the expedition team — the kind of insights that show what it really takes to build a journey into the wild.
