    Asked on June 18th, 2023

    Do we have to carry our luggage for the trek? Are there helpers?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten June 2023

      You will be expected to carry your own luggage, including moving about busy public transport hubs, up stairs and escalators and on and off buses and trains. Although you won't be required to walk long distances, you are expected to be able to walk and handle your own luggage for up to 30 minutes. In some locations it may be possible to hire porters at extra expense paid locally. You can ask your trip leader for help to arrange this if possible but be prepared to manage your own luggage.

      Jack

      TravelerWritten June 2023

      Would you be able to arrange a porter for the trek.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten June 2023

      You can skip that 3hrs trek and stay at the accommodation from the previous night. Our local supplier will be able to take care of you. The next day after trekking, the group will return to this accommodation and join with you again.

    Naomi

    Asked on April 19th, 2023

    I am trying to look at flights for this from Victoria, BC to Vancouver BC, to Beijing but I cannot find any direct flights to Beijing. I heard it's because there is a direct flight ban to Beijing. Can you help with planning transportation to Beijing? It would be helpful to know what is the best airport to land in China and see if there is any way to get transportation to Beijing via bus or rail

    Graham

    Asked on February 28th, 2023

    Where do I get a visa to China?

    Visa
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten February 2023

      Most nationalities require a visa for mainland China. You must obtain your Chinese visa in advance. It is not possible to get a visa on arrival, and Chinese visas can be difficult to obtain outside your country of residence. You will need a Single Entry Tourist for this trip valid for 30 days. Please check with your country's China consulate or embassy for visa application information.

    Adam

    Asked on September 1st, 2016

    Can I join the tour a little later than the scheduled start?

    Other
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten September 2016

      You can join this tour late. However you will have to make your own way to meet up with the group at the end of day 2 and will miss the activities on this day, depending on your arrival time. There is no reduction in price for joining the tour late.

  • B

    Bonnie

    Asked on February 20th, 2016

    Will you have a trip starting in January 2017?

    Other
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten February 2016

      Unfortunately this tour does not have a departure date in January 2017. The first departure in 2017 will be in March.
