Arrive in Kangding and you’ll have the option to walk and visit the downtown of Kangding to see this interesting borderland town before checking in to your hotel. You are recommended to sleep early as the next days are intense and hard.

Start by early morning and then use a local transfer to trek start. This part can be busy and may involve time of waiting in certain seasons. The shuttle drive may also need to be done in different parts due to access issues. After arrive trail head we shall start walking for the next 17km until reach the camp by 4350m. The walking is long but not steep. We will have 3 steep but short sections while the rest are gradual and okay. We shall have great views of mountains in heartland of MInya Konka including Tianhaizi Peaks, Little Konka, Jiazi Konka, Riuqi Konka, Reddomain Peak and some other 5500m+ peaks. While trekking you may have stops but need to watch the time. You should arrive the halfway camp by Liangcha no later than 2pm. After arrive Riuqi camp you will go find your overnight bunk and relax and dinner. Keep warm and keep hydrated while not moving. 
You’ll need to listen to guide’s advice on this day of whether you should evacuate should you suffer AMS. It’s not wise to risk your life/health. It is possible you may need to give up before reach the camp. But the mountains and views are always there you may come back later when you feel better.
