On arrival, pick-up is arranged at Shangri-la Airport. Your local guide meets you at the exit with a welcome sign and drives you into Shangri-la to begin the four-day tour.
The tour starts at Songzanlin Lamasery, the largest Tibetan monastery in Yunnan. Built in 1679 during the Qing dynasty under the Fifth Dalai Lama, it is counted among the thirteen well-known monasteries of the Tibetan regions. The complex climbs from the foot to the top of a hillside and follows the design of the Potala Palace in Lhasa, which is why it is also called the Small Potala Palace.
Lunch is arranged at a restaurant favored by local residents rather than a tourist stop.
After lunch, visit Potatso National Park in Shangri-La County. Announced on June 25, 2007, it was the first national park in China to meet the standards of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The park brings together the Bita Lake Nature Reserve and the Duhu Scenic Area in the Hongshan region, and forms part of the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan protected areas World Heritage Site.
After these visits, your guide drives you back to your hotel in Shangri-la.
In the morning, drive about 180 km to Deqin County, a journey of roughly six to eight hours. Along the way you pass Bengzilan Town, the Moon Bend of the Jinsha River, the Jinsha River Grand Canyon, Dongzhulin Monastery and the Baima Snow Mountain Nature Reserve.
The highlight of the day is Meili Snow Mountain, about 10 km west of Deqin town in Diqing Prefecture. In the morning light the peaks take on a golden color, and the low-altitude modern glaciers of the area attract geologists and researchers.
Below Kawageber Peak, the Mingyong and Sichia glaciers run down to the forest line at about 2,700 meters, and this area is accessible. The highest summit, Kawageber Peak, rises to some 6,740 meters and is still an unclimbed virgin peak. Teams from China, Britain, the United States and Japan have failed to reach it, and in 1991 seventeen climbers from China and Japan lost their lives on the mountain.
After trekking near Meili Snow Mountain, your guide drives you back to your hotel in Deqin.
Today, visit Mingyong Glacier in the Tibetan village of Mingyong. From the village you walk or ride a horse for about 4 km along the trail to reach the glacier on Meili Snow Mountain.
Continue to Taizi Monastery, a Tibetan monastery that is another good place to see the glaciers.
Stay the night in Deqin.
If the sky is clear, watch the sunrise over Meili Snow Mountain in the early morning, then drive back to Shangri-La, with a view of the Yangtze River Grand Canyon and Baima Snow Mountain on the way. Your guide transfers you to Shangri-la Airport for your onward journey.
It is about 180 km and usually takes six to eight hours with stops along the way, so the second day spends most of its time on the road between the two towns.
No. The main peak, Kawageber, has never been climbed and is a sacred mountain to the local Tibetan community. Visitors view it and its glaciers from places such as the Mingyong Glacier trail rather than climbing it.
This part of the plateau sits high, and the mornings can be cold even in summer. Bring a warm layer, and take the first days at an easy pace while your body adjusts to the thinner air.
Yes. From Mingyong Village you follow a trail of about 4 km to the glacier. You can walk it or ride a horse part of the way.
Yes. You travel with a dedicated guide and a car used only by your party, and the order and pace of each day can be adjusted to your interests.
If the sky is clear you watch the sunrise over Meili Snow Mountain, then drive back to Shangri-La, and your guide takes you to Shangri-la Airport for your onward journey.
