Biking to the Roof Top of the World   4WD supported
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 the 'must-sees' in northwest Yunnan and southeast Tibet. You will find out different distincting cultures and religions on this trip. The ancient Tea Horse Road of this area was once busy in transporting goods to Tibet and India from China. Discover and experience the fabulous culture diversity and real Shangri-La. 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 most 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, cycling through the breathtaking great gorges and rivers, finally reach Lhasa, the holy capital of Tibet. The long and winding ride on unpaved roads is very challenging and sometimes can be dangerous, but this will be a unforgettable once in your life journey.
