Sichuan
Known for its spicy cuisine and poetic mountains, Sichuan is far more than pandas and peppercorns.
This is a province where snow peaks rise beside tea fields, where alpine trails wind through Tibetan valleys, and where ancient paths lead to some of China’s most striking summits.
From the glaciated heights of Gongga to the granite towers of Siguniang, Sichuan is a paradise for trekkers, climbers, and seekers of remote beauty. All within reach of cities where Sichuan opera, slow tea, and fast hotpot still shape daily life.
The journeys below are shaped through deep research and close collaboration with local experts. We invite you to experience Sichuan as we know it — layered, lyrical, and alive with altitude and soul.
Into Big Mountains: High Altitude Hiking Trip in Western Sichuan
Adventure, Nature, Culture
This is a journey across the Tibetan highlands of Western Sichuan, where snow peaks cut the sky, and faith lives on in quiet valleys and wind-worn walls. Not behind fences, but in monasteries that echo with chants, and mountain trails still used by yaks and pilgrims.
In 7 days, drive past glaciers and alpine passes, wake beneath the Four Sisters peaks, hike through red forests and highland pastures, sleep in a monastery beneath Minya Konka, and stand face to face with one of China’s greatest mountains. From butter tea to foot-soaks, from prayer wheels to glacier hikes.
Welcome to Western Sichuan, raw, remote, and deeply human. This is the mountains, not as scenery, but as soul.
