This is one of the easiest over 17K peaks that you can hike. No technical climbing required and it's relatively easy depending on how you do it. Most people "cheat" and use Mules to get up to the upper base camp and then from there they go on foot to the peak. The more experienced hikers will start from Haba Village and hike the whole way. No matter which way you go it's a good hike and summiting any time of year is a good accomplishment.
There are many outfitters who can help you with the experience. The most experienced one is named, Mr. Luo. He has a great base camp in Haba Village and an excellent reputation as an honest man. His Mules are phenomenal and do the trek multiple times weekly and are extremely surefooted and safe. He can also introduce you to some amazing local sites. His family raises Bees and they have some amazing local honey that they put on his wife's homemade bread that will make you want to move in and stay forever. He is building some more log cabins style rooms for guests facing the peak.

We actually wanted to just hike around Tiger Leaping Gorge but as we were searching for a hotel to stay in Lijiang, we realized the hotel (The Bivou) we are going to book with offer a climbing expedition to Haba Snow Mountain. After much consideration and some research from some Chinese website (as the Chinese websites has more information/reviews on Haba climb), we decided to stay in The Bivou and go with the climb to Haba Snow Mountain as we are eager to learn and try out climbing on a snow mountain using crampons and ice axe. We are also keen get some high altitude experience. We did not take Diamox for this trip as we are unsure if we need it.
You can get the itinerary on the trip from The Bivou hotel website. A quick summary here:
Day 1 - Travel by car to Haba Village (2700m) Stay in guesthouse with hot showers, dinner provided.
Day 2 - Trek up to base camp 4100m. You will be attached with a guide, it is 1:1 guiding service. You will trek up by foot and ride on the horse that helps to carry your bags up. You can trek up all the way but they recommend to have am mixture of trek and ride on the horse to conserve energy for the summit push on Day 3. We did half trekking and half riding up. Upon reaching 4100m base camp, we will have a learning session on how to use crampons and ice axes and a rehearsal on using harness and ropes. We are lucky to still have ropes fixed on the ice slopes due to the climbing season, so it is good to know how to fix and attached yourself to the ropes for a safe climb up.
As mentioned, I did not take Diamox for this trip and felt breathless when lying down and did not sleep well. So I recommend taking Diamox as it might help relieve some mountain sickness. (which it did help for me for my Kilimanjaro trip)
Day 3 - Summit push early in the morning around 3-4am after breakfast. The summit day was exhausting especially at the part where you need to climb on snow using crampons and ice axes. The last part up was a steep 45 degree slope up which seems to be never ending when you climb. Due to the climbing season, there are ropes fixed on the snow and we used the carabiner attached on our harness to attach on the ropes when climbing as it promotes safety and also help us to climb up. It was good experience but quite exhausting. After some physical and mental battling, we reached the summit successfully! Remember to force yourself to hydrate well and eat. I wasn't drinking well and did not eat much and I was feeling a little weak when climbing down after the summit. After the summit, we trek down to our base camp and then ride on the horse back to Haba village. It was a long day.
Day 4 - Travel by car back to The Bivou.
The Bivou hired Ah Xiong, the lead guide for our trip. The service was good and we are very happy with it. Thank you Ah Xiong and the other guides. They were really very nice people. We were glad that we made it to the summit with their help. It was a wonderful experience. We will definitely recommend booking this climbing expedition with The Bivou also! P.S. Ah Xiong also takes great photos of you when climbing up!

A couple of friends booked a trek with Ah Bao Ge, who is one of the experienced and licensed (important for insurance) guides for the mountain. This included a car ride from Lijiang. Along the way you will pass Tiger Leaping Gorge which is quite a sight by itself. Nearing the base village, normally you can see one of the peaks of Haba but there were some clouds gathering at the peak which obscured the view. Probably a sign for things to come. We didn't manage to summit due to strong winds.
We started our trek after lunch. Mules were provided to help us to carry our baggage and we also took a ride for some of the way. Out of our party of 6, 2 of us had done the Tiger Leaping Gorge high pass trek before this so we wanted to reserve our energy. Where the trek is really muddy we were glad for the mules also. The weather was cloudy with a little sun. A few of us had our rain jackets on but not waterproof pants as we didn't expect adverse weather. Bad move as can be seen later. One of our friends trekked the whole of the front portion and it really is doable. We only came off the mule when we exited the forest portion. The cool weather really made for quite a nice experience. There were also signs of the bougainvillea flowers but not in full bloom yet as the season would have come in a couple of weeks. In all, it was a pretty sight.
Once we came out of the bottom forest, there was a nice plain where we had great views of the surrounding mountains and forests. We hiked for a bit. The gradient is not too steep. Still possible to take small steps which will help for high altitude treks. By this time we were about 3000 odd metres above sea level.
We entered into another forest and after a bit of a trek rode the mules again. We were only forced off the mules near the base camp area where the snow had formed as it was dangerous. The mules were slipping. At this time the snow was starting to come down fast and it turned cold pretty fast. Due to the lack of waterproof pants, my pants got wet and the water entered into my boots. Our bags were with some mules up ahead so we could not get to the bags. It was an experience as I was cold and the place was really slippery and muddy due to the snow. In the end, stumbled my way to the base camp which was at 4100m. Was really cold so was glad to be out of the wind. Do bring a clean set of clothes for sleeping. There are 2 options for accomodation: wooden sheds with beds and thick blankets or tents. It is my suggestion to choose the wooden sheds as they keep out the wind and have nice beds. This needs to be arranged beforehand. Some of my party had slight altitude sickness. We had dinner and an early night.
The summit push timing varies. We woke up at 4am. It had snowed the whole night. We put on all our layers (base, fleece, down and rain jacket for me) and begun the climb. We had prepared our crampons and harness and ice picks the previous night. Ah Bao Ge had the ice picks with longer handles and this was useful as a hiking stick if you don't already have one. When we set off, we could see that some from other parties had already started. It was not congested though. For the front part it was quite ok as it was quite rocky and easier to get a firm footing. Slow and steady does it. Don't rush at this high altitude. Soon enough, the wind came in gusts and there was snow too. This made it a bit more difficult to see. To me it was still not so dangerous but we just had to get a firm stance when a really strong gust blew. We were hoping that the winds would let up but it didn't happen.
Nearer the 4900m permafrost line, the climb became tougher as we had to walk through deep snow. Some places could be knee deep. Best was to walk behind the guide. At the 4900m line, 2 of my party of 5 turned back as they felt it was no point continuing. With the weather it was unlikely to summit. 3 of us pushed on with crampons put on but one turned backed soon after. We took quite a bit of time to push on another 300m as it was walking in snow all the way. The air was thin and it was tiring also. The winds did not let up and it was essentially 10m visibility all round. Quite cool to have a white wall like that seen in the movies. At the 5200m line the guide made a call that it was getting dangerous as the wind was picking up and also at the summit area there would be cliffs. So we turned back and left it for another day.
The route down was easier as the compacting snow helps to provide the resistance. Could get down quite fast. Just like other volcanic scree mountains I have been to in Indonesia. Although the view wasn't so great due to the weather, it was still an interesting experience. When we got to lower areas, we could have more visibility and got better views of the surrounding areas and it was really nice. By the time we got back to the base camp it was about 1ish pm. We had lunch, packed our stuff and went down to the village. We sort of reached at about 6pm.
Great trip but we heard that in June weather will be better so probably will head back another time.

IMPORTANT
- Hiring a guide is a must. Especially for the black lake hike. We saw no a signposts in sight and there are infinitely many routes in the area. Talk to them to find the right one for you. Don't overexert or be overly ambitious.
- High risk of altitude sickness. Prior to the hike, I stayed near Lijiang for 3 nights, hiked the Tiger Leaping Gorge, stayed there for 2 nights and stayed at Haba for another night, so I got plenty of time to acclimatize, but still got altitude sickness during this hike. It wasn't severe, but it got worse as I got higher and I eventually had to stop. I have crossed a pass in Nepal Himalaya and experienced no signs of altitude sickness then. The altitude gain at Haba is not to be underestimated.
We hired a local guide for a day hike to the black lake through Haba hostel. The arrangement was made upon our arrival, just the day before the hike, but the owner managed to find a guide in time and helped prepared packed lunch for us as well (if you plan to do this, tell to put only 1 bread for each person. We got two each. It was too much and heavy to carry too). It was probably because we were the only the guests and business seemed slow. Not sure if this would work in high season. We got a feeling that the first guide she found came to greet us (someone came to talk to us during dinner and just disappeared), but was shocked to find that we did not understand Mandarin and probably declined. Our actual guide was the hotel owner's younger brother, who also speaks no English, but we were able to communicate with sign language and some basic Mandarin. He was very very patient, polite and generally sweet.
I was a bit worried when I heard about the 10-hour duration of this black lake day-hike, but decided to give it a go. We walked through a local road passed many local houses and farmlands, through a forest and across a stream to the actual trailhead. There was absolutely no way, we could have navigated that without a guide. Apart from some locals that we passed by at the beginning of the trail, there was absolutely no one else. Less than an hour into the hike, we saw great views of Yulong Snow Mountain, rice terraces and Meili Snow mountain. A bit further up the trail, we were shocked to see so much deforestation in the mountains, stubs everywhere. SAD. Our guide looked shocked and saddened too. We wanted to talk to him about this so much, but due to our very limited Mandarin, we couldn't really say anything. We noticed that deforestation seemed to be around wooden huts that are probably used for tourists during the peak season, but that's just so wrong. If half the forest is gone, what's the point of hiking. I'd rather stay at home and read, if it means people won't cut tree to make a hut for me to stay or have tea when I hike.
3- hours into the hike, we reached a flat field with an amazing panoramic alpine view. After that, the trail became very very steep and narrow. I stated to have altitude sickness a bit after this, so beware. There started to be more snow on the ground as we climbed further until I stopped and did not go further, because of my altitude sickness and the thick snow (I had a traumatic experience in Nepal and cannot walk on a steep trail with thick snow.). My boyfriend continued with the guide to the black lake while I waited in the wood. The lake was not frozen then. Even though, the path leading to it had up to knee-length of snow. Do not expect green grass unless you come during summer. I should have know that, I guess. Being from the tropic makes me an idiot when it comes to seasons.
My boyfriend twisted his ankle and had to hike back at a snail pace, so in the end it took us almost 12 hours. It was both strenuous and challenging, so unless you are very familiar with alpine hiking, don't attempt this. You can stop at the flat plain 3 hours after the trailhead and make it a nice 5-hour day hike without too much altitude gain, very steep trail or thick snow, but even then, it's still a serious hike.
* Many reviews here are about Yulong Snow mountain near Lijiang and not about Haba mountain. There are no cable cars here.
** The view from TLG to Haba was out of this world, so was the one from Haba to Shangri La, so even with no intention to hike, I'd still advise you to take this route from Lijiang to Shangri La.

For Trekking friends a must do, from Haba Village to Black lake or Basecamp is a great trekking with more then 1600m altitude. Easy to organize a guide and a horse.

The tour bus stopped by an observation deck so I took a few pictures. It was summer so the views, though panoramic, were not spectacular. Good to stop by to see the views.

Has anyone climbed this recently with a local guide? I will be going in October hopefully. My plan is to go to Haba Snow Mountain Inn in the village, stay one night and arrange a guide through them. I am just wondering what type of costs to be expecting? I will be carrying my own crampons and axe etc. Any available contacts to arrange a guide before hand either would be appreciated. I am going to be based in Zhongdian (Shangri-La) before and after so any travel info is appreciated also. Thanks.

You will need to pay as you enter the tiger leaping gorge area. The fee is around 150¥ per adult. When you get to Haba village you will need to pay ¥200 conservation fee and ¥100 per day for your guide if you wish to climb Haba.
