Route Introduction
- Starting at Xueshan Township in Maqin County, circle the main peak of Amne Machin clockwise in the traditional kora pilgrimage—about 200 km with roughly 3,000 m of total ascent, normally taking five to eight days.
- The 6,282 m snow peak is ringed by glaciers and fluttering prayer flags, and herding communities along the way offer basic food and lodging.
- Long days at altitude demand thorough acclimatization, so arrange pack animals and a guide in advance.
- Walk quietly and respectfully, following local pilgrimage customs, and carry your own first-aid kit.
