Do you have trip open for 2026?

My plan for next year is pretty solid and packed. Hence, would love to join for Wusun Ancient Road in 2026. What is the best time to go there and how much would it be, approximately?

How can I know if the tour will be available. I need to plan this trip in advance.

Can you share with me the price per pax for the group size of 10 hikers?

We are a group from Singapore and Korea. Do we need Visa to fly into China Urumuqi? Is this tour only for local Chinese? Do u have the itinerary for how many km we have to cover on each day? Just to ensure we are fit for the trek.

May I ask if your team is Chinese, but not Chinese can join the tour. The trip is about 20 kilometers per day, and the meeting place is Yining.

  As a solo traveler, would you be happy to share a tent with another traveler of the same gender, or would you prefer the privacy of a single supplement (your own tent)? Please note, single supplements on treks like this are often limited and subject to availability.
- Doufeng AdventureOperator•Written May 2026
  Do you have any particular month in mind, such as July or August, or are your dates fully flexible? The trek is very weather-dependent, and the optimal season falls within this short summer window.
