About This Trip:

Boasting some of China’s most spectacular and untamed natural landscapes, the western region of Sichuan province is home to Mount Gongga, a holy Tibetan Buddhist mountain known by locals as Minya Gongga. One of the tallest mountains in the world, Minya Gongga stands at a towering 7,556 meters (24,790 feet) above sea level.
Starting from Chengdu, Sichuan’s provincial capital, we set off on an adventurous expedition to Minya Gongga, summiting three high-altitude passes, trekking through alpine forests and grasslands, and hiking the pilgrimage trail to Gongga Temple. Accompanied by expert local guides, this rugged and demanding excursion will challenge even the most avid of climbers. The reward is an extraordinary adventure in one of the most remote and untouched corners of China.
