Set out from Kunming, and travel through some of Yunnan’s best loved destinations – Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La – as well as some of its most remote, before driving onwards and upwards to Lhasa.

En route, drive past Yunnan’s highest peak, Mount Kawakarpo (6,740 metres). Join Tibetan worshippers as they sing hymns in a remote Catholic church on the border of Yunnan and Tibet. Cross high mountain passes near Zogang, before driving through the lushly forested valleys around Pomi and along the banks of the Brahmaputra. Finish your journey in Lhasa, and join scores of other modern-day pilgrims around the Jokhang, Tibetan Buddhism’s holiest shrine.

Join this spectacular journey and discover why mysterious Tibet has captured the imagination of explorers for centuries…
