Get lost in nature

and you will find yourself

Have long have you been trapped in the city? Do you want an escape to somewhere with no phone signals, no trace of human, but only the tranquility of nature? If yes, this is the perfect trip for you.

No matter if you are an outdoor enthusiast, or just feel the need of getting away from the crowds and noises of the city, this tour will bring you peace and satisfaction by taking you to embark on a trekking journey to three of the most stunning mountain trails in Yunnan - Abuji, Thousand Lake Mountain, and Tiger Leaping Gorge.

You’ll find yourself lost in a world full of cliffs, pure lakes, dense forests, steep lifts and drops, loose and rocky earth, raging river, and epic towering snow mountains.

After satisfying 4-day hiking, you'll also enjoy leisure activities and sightseeing around the legendary Shangri-La, to breathe in the Tibetan world and to discover the "Lost Horizon" dreamland dipict by British novelist James Hilton.

Pack your backpack and let's go home to nature.

Hightlights:

1. Abuji Hike the holy Abuji, a hidden fairyland not open to the public. It’s a mountain paradise for outdoor lovers to admire the sheer beauty of the sacred snow mountains and pristine forests.

What does our Yunnan outdoor expert say about Abuji

"It's difficult to find such a pure place like Abuji nowadays. Its beauty touched me so deep that I can hardly put it into words. One can only feel the shock and the healing power of nature when he stands in it himself."

2. Tiger Leaping Gorge

Trekking two days in one of the top 10 hiking trails in the world - the Tiger Leaping Gorge - for dramatic natural sceneries! It is widely considered to be the finest treks in China due to its unbeatable snow-caped Himalayan peak and gorge

3. Thousand Lake Mountain

Hike the lesser-known Thousand Lake Mountain (Qianhu Mountain), famous for seas of wild azalea flowers and numerous beautiful lakes dotted in the hills. Like Abuji, this mountain is also well-preserved and undeveloped, and it's perfect for those who wants to escape to the real pristine nature.

4. Shangri-La

Wonder in the Shangri-La old town and visit the magnificent Ganden Sumtseling, the most important monastery in southwest China.
