China Trekking and Hiking Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 53 customer reviews
Three pic climb in Oct/Nov 18
5 - Excellent
  • Mikel Echebarria Alberdi
“Wonderful trek. Astonishing views everywhere. I especially enjoyed the part from Mera to Island, really quiet, and with the surprising Amphu Lapcha pass. All three mountains are technically easy, but physically demanding, especially Island and Lobuche. Had great weather from end of October to middle November, but be prepared for cold.”
China - Walking the Great wall plus Xian extension
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“The trip was well organised and was as described in trip notes. Any changes to itinerary were made by the group leader and as for example our early visit to Tiananmen Square and the forbidden Palace were excellent choices because of the timing of the trip and National Day!!! The accommodation was generally as described in the trip notes but home stay was quite basic and cold!!! The Qing Feng Hotel was very basic and the food not up to the standard of other accommodation. One of our best lunches was at the farm on day 5. The extension to Xian was well organised but again extremely busy which made it very difficult to feel the full impact of the site. The over night train journey fine but quite and experience!”
Really recommend this tour

“This tour was great, we got to see so much in each city. The buses were comfortable, and guides were all great. The food was delicious. I would recommend this tour or a similar one to anyone traveling to China.”
