Four-day recommended tour guide for Medog hiking route

Nowadays, hiking has become a favorite sport for many people. Medog County, located in Tibet, has become a hiking destination for many people because of its excellent climate and primitive ecological landscape. So, what is the recommended route for Medog to walk? Let's have a look.

Introduction to medog

Medog County, located in the southeast of Tibet, is a remote county under the jurisdiction of Linzhi City, with an area of 3 1.400 square kilometers and a particularly small population of less than 30,000. Medog is regarded by Tibetan people as a "lotus treasure land" for religious believers to make pilgrimages, and is regarded as a holy place by Tibetan Buddhist believers. So far, many Tibetans have made pilgrimages to Medog on foot.

Medog is located in the depths of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, which is the first in the world. The terrain here can be described by the folk song "The top of the mountain is in the clouds, and the bottom of the mountain is by the river. I can hear you and walk all day". Due to various reasons such as history and natural conditions, it has been isolated from the outside world for almost a long time. On October 2013 1 01October 31day, Moto Highway was officially opened to traffic, ending the history of Moto Highway impassability.

Medog county is abundant in precipitation, rich in water resources, with many virgin forests, animals and plants, and more than 20,000 mu of cultivated land. Its rich forestry, water conservancy and agricultural resources are enough to feed more than half of Tibet's population. This is a place rich in resources. Affected by natural conditions, it used to be the only highway county in China, and its economic development was very backward. The closure makes it a place where Tibet remains in its original state.

Preparation for hiking

In fact, it is not the first time for many tourists who want to hike Medog, because Medog is the best destination for hikers, and there are still many things to prepare before hiking. You can prepare basic clothes only by looking at the weather forecast of Medog season, and basic outdoor equipment is a must. I think we should prepare personal climbing crutches and protective gear against leeches, because leeches entering Medog area are quite powerful. If possible, bring a pack of salt.

: The first day of line recommendation

Paixiang-Songlinkou-Lago

The whole journey is 38 kilometers and the walking time is about 9 hours. During the hike, you will climb Mount Duoxiongla at an altitude of 4,250 meters. If you hike in May and June, you can also hike on the top of the snowy mountain, but the weather at the top of the mountain is still quite changeable. Tourists still have to be safe first.

the next day

La-Great Cave-Hammy

It takes about 8 hours to walk 28 kilometers. It's about 10 km from Lager to Dashandong, about 3 hours' walk, and about 20 km from Dashandong to Hanmi. However, there are many dense forests along the way, and leeches will haunt the last part of the journey, especially in rainy days, so pay more attention.

the third day

Hammy-jiefang bridge-back collapse

This journey is quite long, 35 kilometers, and the whole journey is about 12 hours. Most of the journey after Hanmi is uphill and downhill, followed by the tiger's mouth route, which is relatively steep. On the way, you will pass the Arnie Bridge, where the scenery is beautiful. After arriving in jiefang bridge, you can see the confluence of Duoxiongla River and Yarlung Zangbo River, which is still magnificent.

The fourth day

North-Dexing Bridge Road Condition-Medog

Compared with the previous three days, this trip is relatively easy. The whole journey is basically a gravel road, but it still takes about 1 1 hour. The scenery of back collapse is beautiful, especially in the early morning, surrounded by clouds. On the way through Dexing Village, tourists can rest and eat in the village first. After crossing Dexing Bridge, you can reach Medog on foot for 6 kilometers.
