Synopsis
This key highlight of this itinerary is to experience climbing a snow mountain. HaBa Snow Mountain is located
about 2hr from LiJiang, YunNan China. Standing at 5396m, HaBa is just above the snow-line and is covered
with snow all year round. Due to the forgiving slopes & well-established climbing routes, it is an ideal climb
for beginners who wish to experience climbing a 5000+m snow mountain.
After the climb, you can relax and immerse in the hustle bustle of the ancient town of LiJiang or opt for more
trekking. Other highlights include: the ancient town of LiJiang & trekking in Tiger Leaping Gorge along the
JinSha (Upper Yangtze) river.
