Daily Itinerary
Leave Lijiang by private road transfer for Haba Village, where the trek begins. Use the remaining daylight for village orientation, an equipment check and a briefing on weather, trail access and the next day's ascent to base camp. Overnight in Haba Village so the active section can start without adding another long transfer in the morning.
Trek from Haba Village toward the established base-camp area, pacing the ascent around the group's fitness and the conditions underfoot. Keep water, weather layers and the agreed luggage support accessible during the climb. The guide sets the turnaround plan if weather or altitude makes continuing unsafe; the overnight is at base camp before the summit attempt.
Make the summit attempt only if the guide considers the weather, snow and group condition suitable. Whether or not the summit is reached, descend from the high route to base camp and continue back to Haba Village with enough daylight and rest time. The day ends at the village guesthouse, where the road transfer is scheduled for the following morning.
Leave Haba Village after breakfast or at the agreed pickup time and return to Lijiang by road. Allow a practical buffer for mountain traffic, rest stops and hotel or station drop-off. This is a transfer day after the summit section, so a tight same-day flight should be avoided unless the operating team has confirmed the arrival time in Lijiang.
