The Nujiang Grand Canyon lies between the Gaoligong Mountains and the Biluo Snow Mountains, at the heart of the Three Parallel Rivers region. It is the third-largest canyon in the world, after the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon in China and the Grand Canyon in the United States.
Our cultural hiking and in-depth visits take you deep into the Nujiang Grand Canyon, chasing the legends of the tattoo-faced people, exploring the City of Memories, and walking into untouched gorges—showcasing a Yunnan you have never seen before.
We do not hike for hiking’s sake; we perfectly integrate culture and hiking. Our trips suit both experienced outdoor enthusiasts and complete beginners.
