I have visited Nujiang more times than I can count, and I would like to make one "final" trip there next summer, both to revisit old (and extremely rich) spots, and explore some previously unexplored roads heading up the mountains on both sides of the valley. My own purpose for this trip is to document and photograph the variation within the genera Arisaema and Nomocharis, as well as the species Lilium henrici (and it's subspecies).
Unlike the trip organized by Whistling Arrow this is
not a trek, with the exception of one (or possibly two) days trekking up and down Biluo Xueshan all exploration will be done by car, with nights spent in hotels. We will visit most of the drivable side roads heading up both sides of the valley from Liuku all the way north to Gongshan, before crossing the mountain into Deqin.
For more information have a look at the suggested itinerary here, the dates are somewhat flexible:
