Moska is a village located 80km north to the town of Danba. It is a village that has gain fame due to the chubby and fluffy marmots and the beautiful highland lakes. Moska is a good place to do some wild hiking if you want to avoid the crowds although in summer time you may still see many people there in the village, feeding the marmot.
The drive into the village is a long drive. Even though only 80km but it will take total 2.5h if not longer and in summer (June to August) it has a chance of landslides. The road is a very small road comparing to many other roads in Danba. Due to the long drive we recommend you to spend one night in the village in one of the basic hostels in Moska village. You may also do camping by the village.
