Great Wall of China Trek 2026
Retina UK goes global! Could you take on an adventure of a lifetime and take part in the Great Wall of China Trek in November 2026?
Are you ready for an epic adventure in 2026?
Join fundraisers from Retina UK as they trek across the The Great Wall, gaining an insight into this vast and diverse landscape as well as discovering the Chinese way of life. You will spend nine days and four and a half of those trekking across and around wall.
Trekking along the Great Wall of China is an unforgettable adventure, taking you across ancient stone steps, winding mountain paths, and breathtaking landscapes that stretch as far as the eye can see. You’ll explore sections of the Wall rarely seen by tourists, passing historic watchtowers and remote rural villages steeped in history.
Each night, you’ll rest and refuel in comfortable local lodges or camps, where you can enjoy delicious Chinese cuisine and share stories from the day’s trek with your fellow adventurers. Watching the sunset over the Wall after a day of challenge and achievement is an experience you’ll never forget.
Taking part in an international trek offers the perfect opportunity to explore a part of the world you may never have considered before, in an affordable and meaningful way. Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or completely new to adventure, our Great Wall of China Trek 2026 promises a journey of discovery, connection, and purpose – and we’ll be here to support you every step of the way.
