Your route will head off the beaten track, through the beautiful remote hills and villages surrounding Beijing.
This trek offers fantastic scenery, from spectacular wooded valleys to rocky gorges. You will also get to spend an afternoon trekking through secluded Mongolia.
And at the end of the trek you'll get to spend a day in the exciting city of Beijing.
