High Mountain Hikes

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.  For more information on private, customized hikes to these locations, contact us directly.
