   “It was a good group to travel with. I was the only U.S. citizen which made for some humourous discussion -- everyone else was from the U.K., Canada or South Africa. The backroad scenery was incredible and you really got a feel for how people live out in the country (as opposed to the big cities) in China.”

Hiking

Beginner
Easy terrain with gentle climbs. Average daily hours of walking are 3 to 4 hours and maximum altitude difference is 600m. These trips can be enjoyed by anyone who leads a reasonably active life.

Intermediate
Some previous hiking experience is reccommended. Average daily hours of walking are 5 to 6 hours, with some longer ascents and descents. Maximum altitude difference we make is 1000m. In some parts of the trail the rough terrain can be involved, but generally conditions underfoot will be fair.

Advanced
On average we walk 6 to 8 hours daily with altitude difference more than 1000m. Steep gradients, rough conditions underfoot and also some climbing can be accepted. Regular exercise and a bit of preparation are important at this level.
