13-day grand traversing in southern Yunnan through Dali, Lijiang, Tacheng, Cizhong, Meili, Benzilan and Shangri-la, a voyage of breathtaking landscapes and wonderful cultures for adventurous travelers. Discover China's rich ethnic diversity as you walk one part of the Ancient Tea and Horse Road between Dali, Shaxi and Lijiang. En route you'll meet Naxi and Bai ethnic minority people whose old ways endure. Hike into the Meili Snow Mountains and explore untamed and wild terrains at the most sacred mountain in the world.

Being awed by natural scenery, you'll also be spoilt by delightful boutique accommodation and authentic Yunnan and Tibetan cuisines throughout the journey.
Yunnan, which literally means 'South of the Clouds', is home to some of the most diverse cultures, ecology, and landscapes in China. With verdant low-lying valleys, spectacular white-capped mountains, rustic towns and villages and vibrant ethnic minority communities, Yunnan has long inspired both poets and travelers. As a very distinct part of China, Yunnan is home to the 'Eighteen Oddities', eighteen aspects of life that distinguish it from other provinces.
On this grand traversing journey, you'll explore Yunnan's stunning landscapes, experience minority culture, and travel along part of the Ancient Tea and Horse Road. Travel to the southeastern tip of the Tibetan Plateau to discover this collection of exquisite world-class retreats that blend harmoniously into their surroundings. Rise with the sun to a view of Yunnan's tallest and holiest summit. Practice yoga amidst fertile mountain valleys and immerse yourself in rich Tibetan culture as you taste local cuisine and chant sutras with a Lama. You'll have plenty opportunities to explore local traditions, sample country cooking and enjoy tea ceremonies.
Away from colourful tales and adventures by day, you’ll stay and rest in 5-star or boutique hotels by night. All the hotels' architecture and interiors strongly reflect an influence from the local cultures with contemporary design touches and offering stunning views.
This trip is considered a moderate adventure. Moderate adventure includes full days outside the hotel, with drives of up to 3 ½ hours on mainly well-maintained, paved roads. We may spend up to 4-5 hours walking, hiking or biking. However, we can tailor make itinerary to suit your fitness level.
Though you'll be traveling in some of China's most spectacular mountainous regions, high altitudes often make activities more difficult. In the unlikely event of altitude sickness, emergency evacuation measures will be taken. Your field guides is well-equipped to handle any medical emergencies. However, travel insurance is highly recommended.
