Default Trek in Yunnan

The region of the three parallel rivers of the Yangtze, Mekong and
Salween is ideal for adventurous exploration.

Originating from the Tangula mountains in Tibet, the Yangtze, Mekong
and Salween rivers flow from west to east through the Qinghai-Tibet
plateau. At the juncture of Yunnan, Tibet and Sichuan, blocked by a
great fault fracture caused by the plateau's collision with the Indian
sub-continental plate, the three great rivers are forced to turn
south, all flowing through Northwest Yunnan, sometimes at a distance
of only 66km apart.


Trekking along the Lake Lugu and camping close to the Haba snow-capped
mountains, you can experience the solitude and spiritual essence of
these pristine landscapes. Upon encountering a Lisu village, you might
be invited to taste their famed 'Xiala' - chicken cooked with
rice-wine.
