Timothée

French engineer, I have been hiking and taking people out on weekend escapades around Beijing since 2005. In 2010, the project of Chinescapades came to be and since then, we organize regular 1 or 2 days escapades in the mountains around Beijing, mostly hiking, but also climbing, horseriding or even easy rafting. We have gathered over the years an extensive knowledge of the hidden part of the Great Wall in Beijing (more than 400 km not opened to the public) and are able to offer tailored trip in and out of Beijing for the travellers coming to visit the city. In 2012, we started opening hiking tours in the Yunnan province. Following a program always adapted to our private group of travelers we visit the lower and higher valleys leading to the Himalayan ridges and Tibetan plateau. Over a period of 5 to 12 days, we discover cultures ranging from population close to Burmese minorities living off rice culture up to Tibetan folks living on high altitude plateaus with their herds of yaks.
