Yubeng Hiking to the Sacred Waterfall

Starting Point: Yubeng Upper Village

Difficulty: 3/5 (well maintained hiking paths, but due to high altitude and elevation requires good fitness level)

Distance: 16km
Altitude: 3.200m to 3.700m (total 800m elevation)
Duration: 5-6 hours (1 hour less if starting from Lower Yubeng Village)

First you need to hike down from Upper Yubeng Village to the Lower Village. Pass through the narrow alleys of the lower village until you reach the white pagoda. The grassland with the small river and local horses is already a beautiful start. The hiking will start with slight elevation. If you want you can shortcut the constructed path and hike up directly. After around 2 hours you will find a lovely base camp where locals by equipment for worshipping. After the base camp a steep but short elevation will bring you within roughly 1 hour to the waterfall. Enjoy the spiritual practice of locals. Most of them will have a shower in the sacred waterfall which is impressive to witness. Make sure to bring cloths for changing in case you dare to join the ceremony. Hike down the same path.
