Quick answer

Can I book the classic two-day High Trail trek?

The September 29, 2026 joint notice lists the undeveloped High Trail within the Haba Snow Mountain Nature Reserve among the restricted areas. A reopening date for that route has not been verified. I can check the latest local notice and plan a visit to a permitted area for your travel date.

The experience

A private journey with time to look closer.

The open visitor area at the Upper Gorge can make a scenic stop on the road between Lijiang and Shangri-La. Share your hotels, travel date and walking preferences so I can check the visitor area, pickup and onward drive for your group.

Ideal for

Travelers who want to break up a Lijiang–Shangri-La transfer with time at the gorge and a walk suited to their group.

Does an opening notice for the Upper Gorge allow High Trail hiking?

The scenic-area operator’s announcements apply to its managed visitor area. Hiking access in the nature reserve is governed by the reserve authorities. Check the notice for the exact section and date.
