Great Wall Discovery trek

Your trekking challenge will start in Jinshanling with a vigorous climb up thousands of steps either side of the Gubeikou Gateway. Each day you’ll trek around 12km along the Wall’s stony path, interspersed with crumbling watchtowers.

This is a demanding challenge, but very rewarding. On clear days you’ll be able to look across vast and beautiful mountain ranges. Your imagination will take you back centuries to when the wall was the frontline defence of Imperial China.

At the end of your challenge you’ll return to Beijing and have time to explore the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.

What does the challenge involve?

This is a nine-day trek led by experienced guides and supported by a UK leader and doctor. You’ll meet a fantastic group of people and be supported every step of the way.
