Traval tips

Before you embark on that hike, don’t forget to tell the local ranger as well as a family member or friend about your plans.

  • Birding/animal watching: don’t forget a good pair of binoculars. If you’ve got extra cash to splash, you could even opt for digital binoculars with the ability to record what you see. The Sony DEV Digital Recording binoculars (store.sony.com) record video in full HD resolution, meaning you can have proof to back up your boast of having spotted saltwater crocodiles Down Under.
  • Hydration pack: you could carry water in a bottle or a wineskin. However, if you like keeping your hands free while hiking, a hydration pack such as those made by Camelbak (camelbak.com) is perfect. It’s essentially a tube threaded into a water sac that is stuck in a backpack…though we don’t recommend drinking from the pack while using both hands to clamber between rocks.
  • GPS: yes, you can use your iPhone or smartphone as a GPS (assuming you purchase proper software and not rely on the inbuilt map application which will not work if you lose mobile-phone connectivity). However, many smartphone apps are not built for hiking and have poor battery life. Consider a dedicated handheld GPS unit such as those by Garmin (garmin.com) or Magellan (magellangps.com). These units have detailed topographic maps and are rugged enough to survive being dropped. It also doubles as a compass.
  • Stop leeches: if you’re hiking into leech terrain, take some precautions. While there isn’t a fail-proof method against these bloodsuckers, hikers have had success with a variety of methods and gear including using strong insect repellent or eucalyptus oil, wearing leech-proof socks, waterproof boots, leg gaiters and carrying a stick tipped with a salt-soaked cloth (apparently, leeches hate salt so if you see one, touch it gently with the cloth).
  • Trekking poles: hiking sticks, walking poles, whatever you call them, some hikers swear by these to generate a good rhythm as well as provide support on steep terrain. We’d recommend leaving them at home unless you really need them (for example, if you need support for a bad knee, you’re going through particularly tough terrain, and so on).
  • Essentials kit: pack a basic first aid kit, some matches or a lighter, and perhaps heat packs if it’s going to get cold at night. Also keep a knife and torch/headlamp in your pack. If you’re hiking in wintry or icy conditions, an ice pick and extra set of clothes will help too.

Four-Day Adventure in Yubeng Village: A Timeless Journey
Yubeng Village, located in Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, is a place I had long dreamed of visiting. Starting from Shangri-La, this four-day trek was not just a journey through picturesque landscapes but also a spiritual cleanse. On the first day, we set off from Feilai Temple. Along the way, I could see the golden rays of the morning sun piercing through the misty mountains, casting a divine glow over the entire village. This spectacle left me speechless. Standing at the entrance of Yubeng Village in the evening, I felt as if I had stepped into a blank canvas painting, with every stroke vibrantly echoing the profound silence of nature. The next day, we began our trek to Nanzongya Pass and then descended towards the Upper Yubeng Village. Although the home stay was extremely basic, it sufficed to shield us from the mountain wind and cold. That night, the village hosted a bonfire party. We shared stories with the local Tibetan villagers, who were very friendly and hospitable. Under the starry sky, amidst singing and dancing, I felt a sense of belonging in this distant land. On the third day, we continued our journey to the Ice Lake and then ventured deeper into the canyon to Yubeng's Lower Village. The ice at the lake's edge contrasted sharply with the surrounding lush greenery, presenting a striking and beautiful vista. As we walked, the village's barley fields swayed in the wind like waves, and I could hear the crisp sound of the barley. This harmonious blend of nature enveloped me in an indescribable serenity. On the fourth day, we returned to Feilai Temple via the Original Forest and the Ancient Trail. In the dense forest, every rustle of leaves and bird call was like a lullaby, making me feel as if the forest itself was nurturing all living beings. At the exit of Yubeng Village, I took one last look and silently promised to return. This four-day journey not only gifted me breathtaking views and physical challenge but also instilled in me a deep love for nature and respect for life. Yubeng Village is like a time tunnel, leading people back to simplicity and tranquility. For those yearning to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, I highly recommend experiencing this serene journey. Here, you will find your inner peace and true self.

    Excellent travel company!1
    I did the Beijing-Xi'an-Guillin-Yangtze river-Shanghai group tour'. The tour was well organised and the guides knew so much about each site.Vincent also helped me extend my trip to visit Suzhou and Hangzhou. At every destination I was met by knowledgeable helpful guides who went above and beyond their duty. I would recommend this service to anyone wishing to visit China! I enjoyed my month stay in China thanks to Asian odyssey!
