Great Wall Of China Trek

International
12 Oct 2024 - 20 Oct 2024

We’re delighted to bring you our new challenge for 2024!

The Great Wall of China Trekking Adventure

Join us on 12 - 20 October 2024 on a majestic 9 day trekking adventure, covering 35km to conquer the twists, turns, steps and slopes of this formidable fortification – the famous Great Wall of China.

You’ll trek along this iconic Wonder of the World, crossing ancient watchtowers and battlement stations to witness magnificent panoramas of luscious, rolling green hills as far as the eye can see!

The trekking on this incredible challenge is hard, due to a number of steps we trek up and down each day – it can sometimes take an hour just to trek 1km! Another highlight of this challenge is to conquer the 1,000 steps up to the wall at Mutianyu – culminating with the ascent of the ‘Heavenly Ladder’. Finally, you’ll have the opportunity to explore Beijing, where you can visit iconic landmarks such as the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and the famous Tiananmen Square!
