Zhilam Hostel is, time willing, able to apply for permission for you to climb mountains in our area. We will charge a small service fee for our time and effort. However, this will save you spending extra days (sometimes up to twenty days) in Chengdu applying for permission to climb).
Please tread carefully. . . others have gone before and not made it. See our book of “Passed Heroes” soon to be published online here.
