描写如下：One of our flagship treks, this trek covers a nice area of Shangri-la. In three days, we cover around 45km of mountain ranges, high passes, yak pasture, and alpine lakes. The trek starts off with a 30 minute drive to the outside of the city of Shangri-la and starts at an altitude of 3500 m (11,480 ft). After loading up the heavy gear on pack mules, we set off for an uphill climb that results in some panoramic views at the highest point of the trek at 4400 m (14,430 ft). Late in the afternoon, we pitch tents at the high end of a small valley at 4200 m (13770 ft). The second day begins by ascending to the second high pass of the trek at about 4400 m (14,430 ft). As we pass through multiple yak pastures, we get glimpses of Pudacuo National Park and Shudu Lake. We end the day camping at one of the high yak pastures of Nizu village-Duji Plateau. On the third and final hiking day, we pass by Qicai “Seven Colored” Waterfalls and into Nizu village at 2800 m (9200 ft). The last night is spent celebrating in the Nizu Roadhouse with hot food and optional beer, wine, or spirits. On the fourth and final day of the trip, we leisurely enjoy a Tibetan style breakfast and perhaps a stroll through the village before returning by jeep or truck to Shangri-la.

Trek Options: do the trek in reverse with a pickup from Tiger Leaping Gorge. This is a more strenuous option with an overall altitude gain, but gives an opportunity to drive through Haba village and Baishuitai (White Water Terraces) on the first day and ending the fourth day as a trekking day.

Inclusions: the price for this trek includes almost all of the basics: camping gear, horses to carry heavy gear, food, lodging, transportation, and a guide. Meals included are from lunch on day 1 to lunch on day 4.

Exclusions/Additions: hiking clothes/shoes. A set bar can be pre-ordered upon request at Nizu Roadhouse.

Booking: This trek can be booked as a private trek where it will be just you and your companions. Alternatively if you are a small group and would like to share the experience and the cost with others, we can post a fixed date trip on our site for others to join.
