Discover the soul of Southwest China on foot. Yunnan province is a hiker's paradise, a breathtaking tapestry of snow-capped Himalayan peaks, deep plunging gorges, emerald rice terraces, and ancient forgotten trails. But every adventurer is unique. That’s why we don’t just offer tours; we craft personalised hiking experiences tailored to your pace, your interests, and your dream of exploring one of China's most diverse and captivating regions.
Imagine standing on the edge of Tiger Leaping Gorge, feeling the mist from the roaring Jinsha River below. Picture yourself sharing a warm cup of tea with a local Naxi family in a remote village, or watching the first light of dawn paint the peaks of the Meili Snow Mountain in shades of gold. This is the magic of Yunnan, and it’s waiting for you. Spend the night under the brilliant stars in a yurt on the banks of Erhi Lake, after hiking for hours through pristine forest, remote villages, and mountain ridges, and enjoying a BBQ over a real fire. What a way to end a day's hike! Hike the Upper and Lower tracks of the majestic Tiger Leaping Gorge with the raging waters of the Jinsha River below, a relatively straightforward but spectacular hike.
We believe the best adventures are those built around you. Our Yunnan hiking tours are fully customisable, ensuring your journey is as unique as the landscape itself. We have some tried and tested tours below, highly rated by our many clients. However, we can also customise hiking and camping tours to your needs and requirements.
How do we customise your adventure?
For the Solo Explorer or Intimate Group: Prefer the solitude of a solo journey with a private guide, or the shared experience of a small group of friends? We arrange the perfect dynamic.
Pace & Difficulty: Are you seeking a challenging multi-day trek through the high Meili or Haba Snow mountain range at the foothills of the Himalayas, or a gentler walk through the peaceful valleys and tea plantations of Xishuangbanna? We tailor the distance, elevation, and daily itinerary to match your fitness level perfectly.
Interests & Themes: Deepen your experience. Focus on photography, bird-watching, or ethnobotany. Immerse yourself in the cultures of the Bai, Yi, or Tibetan people. We can connect you with local experts and craft routes that fulfil your specific passions.
Duration & Dates: Whether you have a long weekend or a month to explore, we can design an itinerary that fits your schedule, from a short 3-day hike to an epic 20-day expedition across Yunnan.
Comfort & Style: Choose your adventure style. Would you prefer camping under a blanket of stars, resting in comfortable guesthouses, or a mix of both? We handle all the details, from rustic homestays to luxurious lodges.
Beyond Hiking: Want to combine your trek with a day of cycling through rice paddies, learning to cook local cuisine, or volunteering on a community project? Just ask. We seamlessly integrate other activities to create a rich, multi-faceted journey.
Safety: All of our experienced Guides are first aid trained for peace of mind
