9 Days Trekking Tour in Yunnan
Includes: Kunming, Lijiang, Tiger-leaping Gorge & Shangri-la


Visitors to the Deqen Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture are sure to find themselves in a land where mysterious tranquility pervades every inch of the ever-changing scenery. Three snow-capped mountains, Meili, Baimang and Haba, tower magnificently over the landscape. The region is crisscrossed by the Golden Sand, Mekong, and Yangtze Rivers. These snowy peaks form a beautiful backdrop whose beauty is a feast to behold. Mirror-like lakes, scattered across the vast expanse of grassland, look like rich jewels inlaid on a beautiful tapestry.Cattle graze leisurely in the meadows, where exotic flowers and luxuriant grass wave at the request of the gentle breeze. In the depths of the surrounding forests is an exotic world of rare birds and animals. Dongwang Gorge is 58 km long, the trekking path will follow the Dongwang river which is a tribute of Golden Sand River, the lowest spot of the riverbed is only 2000 m above sea level, but the mountains on both sides stands above 4000 m. The local Tibetan family's houses are as big as castle, enough to accommodate our trekking group. It's warm and comfortable to stay with the Tibetan families inside the gorge.
