Tour Description
Tibet enjoys fame as "The Roof top of the World" - and the road from Yunnan to Lhasa is the toughest road in the world, offering surprising views and varied ethnic cultures along the way. This trip covers all 'must-sees' in Northwest Yunnan and southeast Tibet. This road is saturated with different cultures and religions. The ancient Tea&Horse Road of this area was once busy in transporting goods. Discover and experience the fabulous culture diversity and real Shangri-La. No doubt it is the most fascinating journey of all.
If Tibet is the untouched area of the world, the eastern part of Tibet, bordering Yunnan Province, is the untouched area of Tibet. Decorated with virgin forests and crystal blue lakes, this formerly inaccessible route offers spectacular scenery as well as an opportunity to come in contact with primary village cultures of Yunnan and Tibet.
This journey is one of those least traveled routes into Tibet, starting with rich cultural encounters in the non-Tibetan Himalayas, driving through the breathtaking eastern region of Tibet, finally ending the trip with the ultimate Tibetan experience in Lhasa, its holy capital. The long drive on unpaved roads is very challenging and sometimes dangerous, but the reward is equally high and unforgettable.`
