Genyen Massif, Litang County · 8 days / 7 nights · Challenging (4/5) · $110/day · $880 total per person
Embark on an 8-day, 77km high-altitude trek through the sacred Genyen massif in western Sichuan, discovering vast alpine flower fields, ancient temples, and breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks in an unspoiled wilderness.
The "Thirteenth Goddess" of Tibetan Buddhism. Trek beneath the towering peak of Mount Genyen, the highest mountain in southern Kham. This sacred land offers a dramatic contrast of landscapes: from the rugged, glacier-carved north face to the lush, green valleys of the west where yaks graze freely. It’s not just a mountain; it’s a spiritual journey through a "Pure Land on Earth."
Witness the mysterious "Eye" looking up at the sky. Discover the most unique lake at the foot of the holy mountain. From above, this round alpine lake reveals concentric circles of varying colors, resembling a giant eye gazing into the cosmos. Silent, mysterious, and divine, it feels like a miracle hidden in the meadows.
Where history meets the divine. Visit the oldest temple in the Kham region, perched against the 5,807m Xiaoza Mountain and facing Mount Genyen. For over 300 years, this ancient site has guarded sacred relics, including the antlers of the first female Buddha and rare conch shells found inside stones. Feel the profound spirituality and solemn atmosphere of this hidden sanctuary.
Your private front-row seat to the雪山 (Snow Mountains). Skip the crowded campsites. We take you to a secluded,徒步-only (hiking-access only) base camp surrounded by flowers. Wake up in your tent to a breathtaking, 360-degree panoramic view of the glaciers and the main peak. It’s an exclusive, intimate experience with nature that few get to see.
From alpine meadows to the "Most Beautiful Mountain Landscape." After days of hiking, refresh your senses in the Gemu Valley. Crossing the 4,980m pass, you’ll enter a world of "four seasons in one day." Explore the secret village of Gemu and the dramatic river valleys carved over millions of years—a stunning finale to your adventure.
