Sichuan Biking and Hiking - with a pair of shoes and two wheels
Explore Sichuan on foot and by bicycle, from the Chengdu Plain to the landscapes of the Tibetan Plateau.
Sichuan offers mountain scenery, deep valleys, bamboo forests, giant pandas, and distinctive regional cuisine. Western Sichuan extends onto the eastern Tibetan Plateau, with peaks rising above 7,000 meters. Our hiking and cycling itineraries offer options for a range of interests and experience levels.
There exists in Sichuan an extensive series of treks for every single level of capability. However, it can be tough to limit the choices to something that you can manage, have time for, or is a good fit for what you are trying to find in a trek. Traveling is a superb method to stay in shape and also check out a location that you have always intended to see.
Begin in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan, where you can sample regional cuisine, walk through historic streets, relax in teahouses, and watch daily life in the parks. The surrounding plains also offer cycling routes to bamboo forests, lakes, and traditional communities.
The nine-day Cycle Panda Kingdom tour combines giant pandas, Sichuan cuisine, the historic Tea Horse route, and rural life. The sixteen-day Cycling Eastern Tibet itinerary explores highland grasslands, snow-capped mountains, lakes, and Tibetan communities. The seven-day Last Paradise journey introduces the landscapes and nomadic traditions of Kham Tibet.
