Hiking Tour from Lugu Lake to Daocheng and Yading
Description
An entirely singular experience, this trek combines an awe-inspiring beauty with an ancient mystique in a wilderness experience like no other. Rising from the warm cultivated landscape around Lugu to altitudes of 4-5000m, the trails takes in views of the three sacred peaks – Chenrezi (6032m), Jampayang (5958m) and Chenadorje (5958m), passing through virgin forests, along valley floors, and around sacred lakes.
Scattered throughout the region are the rough stupas, mani stone piles and temples that give testament to the reverence Tibetans hold for this area. In Tibetan Buddhism, mountains such as the 3 sacred ones have a religious significance higher that the Dalai Lama or any monastery, and it’s not difficult to see why.
从泸沽湖徒步到稻城亚丁，有两条徒步线路；
A线：温泉——下依吉——卡瓦——俄牙同——东义——各瓦——卡斯——日瓦
Tip：
1、 从东义区开始有简易的公路通向日瓦乡，可租手扶拖拉机，但一路颠簸得很，小心PP被颠成几瓣，脑壳被震晕。而且租手扶拖拉机的费用巨贵，远远高于城市里打的士的费用。我们从卡斯到日瓦乡不过70里(35公里)的行程，要280元!想等到拉木材的林场卡车无异于守株待兔，看运气了，价钱相仿佛。
2、 到卡斯村后有两个选择，一是穿越卡斯地狱谷直达亚丁的络绒牛场或冲古寺。这样可以逃掉128元的亚丁景区门票，而且地狱谷风景巨美，这是非常好的选择。但是卡斯村的海拔为2800米左右，而亚丁央迈勇的垭口在5000米以上，这意味着你要在高原上一天内爬2500米左右的高山，这可需要足够的勇气。建议穿越地狱谷用两天的时间较为合适，否则够受的了。另一选择是从卡斯村继续租拖拉机到日瓦乡。卡斯河依稀有地狱谷的风貌，而俄初山绚烂的秋色则令你迷醉。MAN曾说有机会要沿卡斯河徒步卡斯村到俄初山这段路，这也不错，要多预算2-3天的时间。
B线：温泉乡—利加嘴村—屋脚村—屋脚乡—羊棚—达克谷多垭口—卡尔牧场—雀儿山—邛引村—卢杜村—通天河边—东拉村—杜鲁村—四家村—金矿—嘎洛村—嘎洛牧场—嘎洛垭口—夏洛多吉垭口—冲古寺
1、 这是大致的线路，因为都是崇山峻岭，有众多的歧路，所以实际走的线路在某一段可能稍有区别，这和选择的向导有关。比如传统的走法都会经过水落乡，但我们的向导却带我们走了稍近些的歧路绕过去了。传统上也会经过卡尔牧场，但我们也从山腰上绕过去了。但总的路程其实差不了太多。
2、 在高原上跋涉，要考虑缺氧时的高原反应问题。途中的海拔在2500—4800米之间，徒步前可以先在丽江坐缆车上一趟玉龙雪山测试一下。玉龙雪山虽然烂得很，但它的海拔在4700，未上过高原的人一试便知深浅。只要反应不剧烈，徒步至亚丁应该没什么问题，因为是一步一步走过去的，对于高原会慢慢适应。我也是第一次上高原，途中有过几次高原反应，但渐渐就适应过来了.

Route A is much easier, while the real charm and challenge is with Route B, which takes 8-10days as you can see below.
Itinerary
D1：Wenquan Xiang> Lijiazui Village> Wujiao village
Take a minibus to Wenquan Xiang from Lugu Lake via Yongning,where you can restock for the last time before starting the trek. A dirt road streches from Wenquan village to an uphill horse path. Arrive Lijiazui at lunch time. A few hours walk in the afternoon takes you to Wujiao village, lodging at one of the villagers home for Y10-15/night.
D2: Wujiao village > Gaofeng Village> Alabu Pass> Kaer Pasture(3500m)
From Yangpeng(sheep shed) to Niupeng(cowshed) is the 10km terrible leech zone. Wrap your leg properly and walk a bit fast. Camping at the pasture, where you can buy some food and firewood.
D3: Kaer Pasture> Womsu Pass> Guni Village
It takes 2 hrs from the pasture uphill to the pass. At an elevation of over 4000m, the pass is where the local Tibetans worship the Mountain God, piles of mani stones can be seen around.
To arrive Guni Village before the dark, you need walk fast, unless you prefer camping outside. When crossing the riverside meadow, use a stick to verify what’s below the tall grass, then walk get through quickly. More steps ontop may trap you in.
Guni village is inhabited by Naxi people, some of them provide accommodation to trekkers.
D4 Guni Village> Mianbao Village> Shuiluo Village
Moving on from Guni Village, it sees the Tongtian River. Mianbao, a Tibetan village is on the riverside. By getting to Shuiluo Village at around 4pm, the elevation descends for 2000m or more during the day. The long downhill road may cause tension to your thigh.
Shuiluo is a place for trekkers to replenish food and change mules, your current mule must be exhausted after a few days trudging. You can either camping in the corn field or lodging at a guesthouse in shuiluo village.
D5 Shuiluo Village> Xiwa Village> Gold Mine
A fairly easy day along flat path, with villages and rice terraces scattered on the way. Lodging available in the meeting room of the mine, usually free.
D6 Gold Mine> Galuo Village> Chenadorje Pass(4800m)> Chong-gu Temple.
Another long day with endless uphill path. From Galuo to Chong-gu Si, you need to cross over a 4800m high pass. An unexpected snow may make the trek more difficult.
Lodging at the temple, where most trekkers stay. Y30/night in connective beds.
D7 Chong-gu Temple> Luorong Pasture> Milk Lake> Jampayang Pass> Jiezhu Lake> Luorong Pasture
This is the inner route which most travelers will make. Lodging is officially not allowed any more in Luorong Pasture. You may need camp or go back to Chong-gu Si for overnight.
D8 Luorong Pasture> Five-color Sea> Milk Lake> Jampayang Pass> Jiezhu Lake> Kas Hell Valley> Kas Village.
Definitely a tough day in a great hurry. Suggest your make it in 1.5~2 days if you are not so physically strong.
From Kas, you can hitchhike a truck to Riwa via Echu village, 70km/5hrs. The autumn scene between Kas and Echu village is stunning. But the truck ride on a bumpy road is absolutely a challenge.
Take a bus from Riwa to Daocheng and continue your journey either northwards to Litang or southwards to Deqin via Xiangcheng.
