3 days (approximately)
Pickup offered

This is your gateway to standing on a true 5,000m snow-capped summit without technical climbing skills. Over three days, journey from Chengdu into the Tibetan-Qiang highlands, culminating in a dawn summit push to Dafeng Peak — the most accessible 5000m+ peak in China's Siguniang Mountains.
What sets this apart is the 1:1 guide-to-client ratio on summit day, ensuring safety as you ascend fixed ropes above the snow line. Pack horses carry your main gear so you trek light through stunning Haizigou Valley. The reward? Witnessing sunrise, sea of clouds, and Buddha's Light from the summit — a moment few travelers ever experience.
Perfect for fit adventurous travelers and aspiring mountaineers testing themselves at altitude. Whether you're a solo explorer seeking a transformative achievement, friends chasing an epic adventure, or a photography enthusiast after dramatic summit shots, this delivers unmatched natural beauty, cultural immersion, and genuine mountaineering accomplishment.
