Overview

Quick Answer This 3-Day Mount Siguniang Dafeng or Erfeng Group Tour travels round trip from Chengdu to Mount Siguniang in western Sichuan. Choose one guided summit route: Dafeng (5,025 m) or the higher and more demanding Erfeng (5,276 m). Both options use Haizigou, include a base-camp overnight and begin the summit attempt before dawn.

Designed for active travelers seeking a first 5,000-metre mountain experience in China, this VeroTrip itinerary combines group transport, local mountain support and a clear three-day route. Dafeng and Erfeng are different booking options rather than two summits in one trip. The selected peak, guide arrangement, camp, equipment and current official access are reconfirmed before payment. The guide sets the pace and turnaround time according to weather, snow, trail conditions, altitude response and the group’s fitness.

Different Routes and Quotations

No fixed price is displayed on this page. Dafeng and Erfeng have different quotations because the summit-guide service, route time, equipment and operating arrangements differ. VeroTrip will confirm the selected peak and issue the correct dated quotation before payment.

High-Altitude Safety and Access

Reaching either summit is always subject to conditions. Weather, snow, official access, trail conditions, altitude response and the guide’s safety decision may change or stop the summit attempt. This is a climbing and trekking itinerary, not a sightseeing-only valley tour.

  • Disclose relevant health concerns and seek medical advice when appropriate before joining a high-altitude climb.
  • Reconfirm the Chengdu meeting point, selected peak, camp type, guide ratio, insurance eligibility, equipment sizes and current access before departure.

It can suit fit hikers with regular training and good preparation, but it is still a strenuous high-altitude climb. Previous multi-hour hiking experience is recommended. Tell VeroTrip about your fitness, altitude history and medical concerns before booking, and seek medical advice when appropriate.
