Trekking in the Mountains of Yunnan

Yunnan (South of the Clouds) is the most varied of all China's provinces, its terrain ranging from tropical rain forests to the icy Tibetan highlands, although generally its climate is mild. it is ideal for adventure travel tours.

Yunnan has an enormous range of flora and fauna, most of which are protected by governmental and local ecological organizations. And it is also home to half of China's colorful ethnic minorities.

Bordered by Myanmar on the west and Laos and Vietnam in the south, the region stretches up to the Tibetan tableland in the north. Due to its historically remote frontier position and rich ethnic mixture, Yunnan has its own attractive and relaxed identity, attracting visitors from home and abroad.

The best experience can be obtained by having a guide who has strong connections with the ethnic tribes throughout the region. They can take visitors to their colorful festivals and the ceremonies of the various Buddhist sects in the monasteries on Tibetan plateaus. Information on these festivals is often extremely difficult to obtain.

Edward Adventures provides suggested itineraries around local festivals. They provide local guides from local ethnic groups, who all speak English and Chinese fluentl.
