Hiking Taiwan’s high mountains is a world-class trekking experience. Taiwan has the second highest mountain range in eastern Asia. Many of its tall peaks are easily accessible on a weekend trip from Taipei and they offer some breath-taking views and challenging climbs.
Taiwan Adventures offers private, full service, customized hikes to all of these locations throughout the year. We sometimes also offer these hikes as pre-arranged group hikes for single or budget minded travellers. For more information on these public hikes, check out and join our Meetup or facebook group.
