Difficulty of Zhagana Hiking

The Zhagana hiking route is generally relatively mature. In addition, the hiking distance is short, and guides and horses can be found locally, so it is not very difficult.

The route is Zhagana-Dongcai-Anziku-Jiaojiashi-Zhuoni. The total distance is about 55 kilometers. It takes 4 days to complete and climb 16 large and small passes or ridges.

Most of this route is composed of pastoral roads. Along the way, you can enjoy the broad and lofty views and enjoy the majestic, steep and spectacular natural beauty of the mountains. It is a hiking route worth experiencing for those who love outdoor activities.

You can find a local guide to provide horses and hike lightly. The starting point of the hike usually starts from Zhagana. Most of the routes are the winter and summer nomadic routes used by local Tibetan herdsmen for hundreds of years.

Most of the guides are local Tibetan herdsmen. They herd cattle and sheep through the mountain valleys all year round and know the terrain of the valleys well.

However, as a high-altitude hiking route, there are a lot of gravels on the route, so sufficient high-altitude adaptability and sufficient physical fitness are still necessary.

Tourists without plateau experience may experience varying degrees of altitude sickness.

Fully understand the knowledge about altitude sickness before departure, overcome your fear, and take appropriate medicines such as rhodiola rosea and Gaoyuanan about half a month in advance.
