Overview
Remote Yunnan stretches from the jungles bordering Myanmar up to the Himalayas. Its huge altitude range gives Yunnan (“South of the Clouds”) spectacular scenery and the people who inhabit this land are equally diverse – 26 of China’s 56 ethnic groups are represented, and along the way, we will meet Tibetan monks, Naxi musicians, not to mention the odd yak!
This amazing adventure takes us from the lofty Tibetan settlement of Zhongdian (3300m) through spectacular mountain scenery, incredible terraces and remote Tibetan villages on our way down to Tiger Leaping Gorge, arguably the world’s deepest gorge, located on the first bend in the mighty Yangtze. After 2 days of riding, we’ll leave the bikes behind and begin the beautiful hike out through gorge. The tour ends in the quaint historic Naxi town of Lijiang overlooked by the ever-imposing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. We’ll have a final dinner to celebrate this unbelievable journey, and then fly from Lijiang back to Shanghai.
