Songtsam_The Yunnan to Tibet Tea Horse Road Expedition_11N12D
11 NIGHTS
Meili Markam Ranwu Bome Nyingchi Lhasa From the center of the Three Parallel Rivers to the very highest mountain peaks,
the Songtsam Yunnan to Tibet route is designed for intrepid travellers to discover the region’s living heritage through comfort, authenticity, and an enlightened spirit of adventure. Extended across dramatic altitudes within the Tibetan plateau,
the area is home to a number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the demographic contains Tibetans and most of the twenty-five ethnic monitories found in Yunnan province, many of who still follow ancient traditions and customs.
For centuries people have been fascinated with the idea of Shambhala,
a mythical kingdom and Buddhist pure land.
It is rumored to have inspired British author James Hilton who published the 1933 novel Lost Horizon in which Shambhala is called Shangri-La,
a paradise on Earth hidden in a Tibetan valley.
