FAQs on Shangri-La Tours
How should I prepare for Shangri-La altitude?
Shangri-La is above 3,000 meters. We keep the first day light, avoid strenuous activity on arrival and can slow any itinerary.
How many days are recommended?
Three days is a sensible minimum for Songzanlin, Dukezong and Pudacuo. Meili Snow Mountain needs a longer five-to-seven-day route.
Can I travel from Lijiang by train?
Yes. The rail connection makes the trip convenient, while a private road transfer can include Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Is Shangri-La suitable for families?
Many families enjoy the destination when children are comfortable at altitude. The program should remain flexible and easy-paced.
