Go to a windy place on foot. This is the Himalayas.

Nepal is a paradise for hikers to make pilgrimages. There are nearly 100 hiking routes here, among which Poonhill (Bryan) Small Ring Road, Anna Poorna Base Camp Line (ABC) and Himalayan Base Camp (EBC) are more mature and popular.

In the ABC line, which is the most popular among Chinese people, it is no exaggeration to say that this hiking trip, which takes nearly 1-2 weeks, is not to touch heaven, but to really be in the "paradise of snow peaks": Anna Poorna, Manaslu, Dharagiri and Nepali Shenshan Fishtail, among the top ten peaks in the world over 8000m meters, accompany you day and night, and the landscape changes brought by the vertical height difference make the four seasons scenery panoramic: forest, meadow, pastoral and Nepali.

Walking around the mountains in Nepal may be the distance in the world, before the front. Meng, a traveler on Tripadvisor, shared his unique experience of ABC trekking in Nepal during the Spring Festival. Because his heart is towards the mountains, he never stops exploring.

"After a long journey of 12 days, I finally arrived at Anna Poorna’s base camp in the Himalayas. We walk for 6-11 hours every day, starting from the tropical forest, passing through the bushes and reaching the foot of Anna Poorna Glacier.

It can be seen that ABC is a relatively mature route during hiking. The guide will adjust the specific itinerary according to everyone’s situation and weather conditions on that day. If someone in the team can’t keep up, they will stop to have a rest or make other adjustments. The scenery along the route is very good. When we reached the summit, we saw the sunset and starry sky, and the sunrise the next morning, all of which were very shocking and beautiful. Once again, we lamented that we were really small in front of nature.

Because it was during the Spring Festival, the guides also celebrated New Year’s Eve with us, singing and dancing, which was very interesting. At the beginning of the new year, it is even more meaningful to complete an extreme challenge. By the way, on the way back, there are hot springs by the river flowing down from the glacier! "

New year, a challenge?

4 days and 3 nights hiking along the Inca trail

2022 Tripadvisor Traveler’s Choice Supreme Award

Peru Cuzco

"I completed a 4-day and 3-night hiking trip on the ancient Inca road with the alpaca expedition, and met the challenges and beautiful scenery all the way until I arrived at Machu Picchu! The Inca trail itself is very challenging (please pay attention to the influence of high reflexivity! ) But it’s worth it for the scenery and the Inca ruins (not just Machu Picchu)!

The porters in the team are the hardest, carrying tents and all the equipment, and making sure that the camp has been set up before we arrive. They are really superman!

Every day, the three meals we set up camp are made fresh, which is more delicious than restaurants! Alex, our chef, made creamy butter jam, cakes, soups and many Peruvian specialties. He also took good care of the team’s various dietary restrictions and preferences, just like I ate super-satisfied vegetarian food this time. "

The helicopter went hiking on the moving glacier.

New Zealand fox

"The view of the glacier from the helicopter is amazing, not to mention walking on the glacier. We arrived at Fox Glacier in about 5 minutes by helicopter, and the beauty of the flight was full of surprises!

Professional guides lead the dressing (providing backpacks, windbreakers, socks, hiking shoes, walking sticks and crampons), hiking and sightseeing. The whole glacier is beautiful!

Step by step on the glacier and explore the beautiful blue ice cave. It’s really beautiful! We took a lot of photos. Later, because of the weather, we stayed on the mountain for 3 hours. The guide led us to keep our body temperature on the cold ice. The unforgettable journey, many first-time experiences (helicopter, crampons, glaciers, ice caves, glacial water …) were still memorable after returning home. "

Baddour Mountain Sunrise Hiking Experience

Indonesia Bali

"I thoroughly enjoyed a sunrise hike that I will never forget. When the sun rises and the tour guide takes out the guitar, this morning that belongs to us at the top of the mountain is simply beautiful and unforgettable.

Before dawn, the driver came to the hotel to pick us up and go to Baddour Mountain Base Camp, holding a cane and flashlight, and followed the guide at his own comfortable pace. As soon as we reached the top of the mountain, he gave us a breakfast reward for our homework! Including mixed sandwiches, boiled eggs, chocolate bars and fruits ~

After sunrise, the guide introduced us to the best place to take pictures, climbed to the highest point of the mountain and saw the steaming volcanic vent, which was a wonderful feeling. Hiking and chatting with guides all the way have deepened my love and understanding of Bali for several layers. "
