Getting here and getting around

Keep the visit based around Menglun; a transfer from another city is an additional arrangement. Exact pick-up times, return arrangements and any internal scenic transport are confirmed before departure.
When to travel
The generally drier November-to-April period is a useful planning window. Rain, heat and humidity shape outdoor visits during the rest of the year.
