Trekking the Jinsha River Valley
Lace up your hiking boots and prepare for a trek through the remote mountain trails north of Lijiang. Enter a world of forgotten historical intrigue where bucolic villages perch, resplendent, above the adolescent Yangtze.
The mighty peaks and fabled passes of this distant valley once protected an ancient kingdom from Mongol invasion, and today harbor an array of minority cultures diffused across a landscape as beguiling as any on Earth.
