Timing and Duration

You will need to choose a good season of doing Dafeng Trek. In General from June to the next Janurary are good to do this trek. Read More>>. Please remember that you will need to get to Mount Siguniang first and in order to do that you get to Chengdu first. In total a Dafeng Trek will take about 2 to 5 days from and back to Rilong and 3 to 7 days total from and back to Chengdu. You can connect your other travel plans from Rilong or Chengdu. However, you can plan a couple of days more just in case of bad weather. This is actualy very smart way as right now lots of the packaged tours to Dafeng are with highly fixed schedule and with little flexibilities.
