    · November 14th, 2023
    We really enjoyed our vacation in Taiwan with Moskito Adventures. The tour was excellently organized. We saw a lot and the hikes in the Taroko Gorge and the bike tours were our personal highlights. Our guide was very caring and always made sure we were comfortable. Many thanks, dear Chris ???? We will definitely book again, as Korea is still on our list. Best regards Jonathan and Petra

    Do you have any departures other than May? Do you have anything closer to September? What would be the cost only for the tour with no international flight as I am coming from Canada?

    Asked on April 7th, 2024

    Would NOT need to flights from and to Germany, I would arrange my own transport to the starting point and also from the exit point. Is that possible? Can you be that flexible or not?

      It's too late to join that trip. It's better to get in touch with us at least 2 months before as we need to handle visa and permit issues.

    Asked on April 26th, 2023

    I am Australian with little German language skills but I would love to join this tour if you don't limit it to German speakers. I always wanted to travel the G318 after visiting Litang on a Kham tour. Amazing mountains. Please advise.

      China has opened up to foreign tourists in march. Since then we do not receive that much inquiries to make our tours run in this year. Therefore I suggest to keep an eye on it for next year. You are very welcome to join.

      If interest changes and the September trip progresses I would like to know. Getting the visa and travel permits takes time.
