Trekking in SW China (Yunnan or Sichuan) in March?

Yunnan should be OK (unless you go over 4000 m), Sichuan depends on the region.

You could consider trekking from Laoyulin over Konka Gompa to Shangmuju (7-10 days). Accomodation is partly available on this route but I am not sure about March (did part of it in in October). A nice trek in Norhern Sichuan is Anymaqen circuit but it is not doable alone and you need an experienced guide. Easier would be a ca. 6 days trek from Litang to Mt. Genyen.
In Yunnan I have heared about an interersting route from Feilai to Kawakarpo, should be a bit strenuous.

I am not expert in the region, but went trekking there last October as part of a journey from Shangri La to Chengdu. I would suggest sticking to Yunnan. Litang is very high and was freezing in early October. I did the Yubeng trek to Felaisi, but imagine it would be very cold in March and maybe not feasible. Also went to Yading - it was freezing too. There is a trek from Lugu Lake to Yading but I think it would be too clod/snowy in March

I enjoyed Tiger Leaping Gorge in November 2007, and there is a possible extension. Another option might be the Nujiang Valley - you could go to Dali then up the valley. Do a search for Nujiang valley on this forum.

Better to go northwest part of Yunnan,such as go trek around LiJiang(Tiger leaping gorge trek to Lugu lake, 7days, March is one of nice season.the highest point is 34oom,Lugu lake is 2800m).

Thanks yakraveller (great name), I am looking for a website that outlines that trek (day to day, distance and altitude gain), any recommendations?

There have a link I have sent to your private message.

Thanks, checking now...

TravelinBri, did you trek Tiger Leaping Gorge to Lugu Lake?
I am planning to go in March and would like to see your itinerary discussed in the forum.
Could you send ? Thanks.

I am interested to hike Tiger Leaping Gorge in March.

Any suggested itinerary? I would like to do some off beaten path so planning to hire a guide.
Have seen some suggestions re: Sean's Guest House - any comments - good or bad experience????

I am interested, but have not progressed to the point of an itinerary yet...
