Haba Snow Mountain, standing at an elevation of 5,396 meters, is a towering peak in the southeastern part of Shangri-La County. The term "Haba" originates from the Naxi language, meaning "golden flower." This mountain's striking appearance is due to its rapid rise during the Himalayan orogeny, followed by Quaternary tectonic movements. Its steep slopes and picturesque scenery make it a popular destination for mountaineers aiming to climb snow-capped peaks. Haba Snow Mountain's numerous natural advantages make it a top choice for many climbers. Separated from the Yulong Snow Mountain by the Tiger Leaping Gorge, it adds to its mystery and allure.

Climbing from the base camp to the summit requires a 1,400-meter ascent, which is uncommon for novice climbers. This presents significant physical and psychological challenges. The total elevation difference of 2,700 meters allows you to witness the mountain's seasonal beauty. From pristine forests and vast rhododendron fields to alpine meadows, rocky terrains, tranquil glacial lakes, and breathtaking sunrises above the snow line, the scenery is truly captivating.

In clear weather, you can see three sacred peaks from the summit. These include the Three Holy Mountains of Aden to the north, Gongga (also known as the King of Sichuan Mountains) to the northeast, and Kawagebo of Meili Snow Mountain to the northwest.

【Gentle Reminder】

* The Chinese Mountaineering Team provides each team member with high-altitude outdoor sports personal accident insurance (applicable only to medical use within China, does not support medical compensation outside of China, and all claims related to return flights from China to the place of departure), and all participants are deemed to be fully capable of civil conduct. In the event of personal accidents during the activity, compensation liability shall be settled in accordance with insurance regulations and legal provisions.

* Please respect the guides and horsemen, as well as their way of life and language habits.

* The signal may not be very good throughout the climb. Please communicate with your family in advance to avoid worries about being unable to contact them.

* Participants should have a sense of teamwork and mutual assistance during the activity.

* During the activity, obey the course arrangements and safety reminders of the mountain guides, do not take risks on your own, and do not leave the team without informing.

* To ensure timely access to your important protective supplies, participants need to carry their own mountaineering packs during the activity (containing warm clothing, thermos, trail snacks, valuables, etc.).

* Practice Leave No Trace (LNT) principles, pay attention to environmental protection, do not litter, and hand over domestic waste to the cooperation team for disposal in the scenic area.

* The temperature difference between morning and evening on Haba Snow Mountain is large, and there is strong sunlight. Climbing activities are mainly carried out between an altitude of 2700 meters and 5400 meters. The weather on the mountain changes rapidly, so all equipment must be prepared according to the personal equipment list for climbing on the Lova Star snow mountain.

* Sun protection and prevention of snow blindness must be given attention during the climb.

* We will have special training courses on altitude sickness. The key is to relax, control your diet, drink plenty of hot water, and slow down all actions upon reaching Haba Village to better adapt to the high-altitude environment.
