Itinerary

Guest information

Leave on Saturday afternoon in our chartered bus to a secluded section of the Great Wall outside Beijing where we will hike on the Great Wall, set up camp, hang out around a campfire, sleep on the Great Wall under the stars and wake up in the morning to zip open our tents and see an amazing sunrise. Follow all this up with a rustic breakfast in a small, local farm village before heading back to Beijing to conclude this true “off the beaten track” experience!

NOTES: CAMPING WILD ON THE GREAT WALL
It is advised you wear suitable clothes and footwear for hiking along the Wall and staying warm in the evening.

The Great Wall is very open, exposing it to the elements, so, at times, it does get cold during the night. For your comfort, The Dragon Trip recommends waterproof, windproof, and warm clothing and advises against open footwear.

Because of the remoteness of the camp site, it is not possible to get any supplies once the trip has left the local village; everything must be brought along up the Wall.

The tents provided for camping on the Great Wall are two-person tents. Everyone participating in the camping trip will be responsible for bringing up their own supplies and camping equipment.

Because of the “off the beaten path” nature of the destination, there is no waste infrastructure. The Dragon Trip respects the environment; therefore, anything carried up must be carried back down. The Dragon Trip urges travelers to not leave behind any trash. Please consider this and, if possible, bring along a plastic bag for any trash. If necessary, extra trash bags can be provided.

The package price includes the following:

Price: £120 – based on a minimum group of 4 travellers (not including optional drinks or snacks).

Includes: Transportation, tents (double occupancy), sleeping bag, English-speaking tour guide, entry ticket to the Great Wall.

 

Please note: For smaller groups, prices are available upon request. 

All train tickets in China must be purchased through a central booking centre which means there is always a small chance that you may not be seated together with the person that you have booked the tour together with. If you or your PAX has a seat that is not next to the group’s our Adventure Leaders have a process to help you switch your tickets, so that you are seated next to the group. (In some train stations, the Adventure Leader will be able to board the train even when they won’t be travelling themselves. In this case, they will switch you or your PAXs tickets with a local so that Dragon Trippers can sit together. In the case that our Adventure Leader cannot board the train, they will be able to explain in Mandarin over the phone to a conductor, or directly to a local passenger to help switch seats so that Dragon Trippers may be seated together.)

Customers need to bring a doctor’s certificate or written letter proving that they are fit and don’t have any contagious disease for the volunteering. This needs to mention the customer’s full name and passport number and also with the doctor’s signature, stamp and date.

You will receive a wristband which will have a phone number on it for you to call in emergencies.

The use of Drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is prohibited during activities organized by The Dragon Trip. If you are in possession of a drone when entering the country it is your responsibility to be informed of and follow all local laws. This may include registering your drone with authorities. If you violate this policy or operate a drone illegally you are subject to removal from the tour as per our terms & conditions.
