Collection: Yunnan

What this collection covers

This collection covers private tours in Yunnan, a province described as a vertical journey. It is for travellers planning a route through Yunnan with a car and driver, rather than relying on the slow buses that serve the long distances between the good stops. The line runs from Kunming in the mild basin to Dali and Lijiang on the plateau, then to Shangri-La above 3,000 metres. The classic northbound route is Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La. Yunnan can also be combined with another province. The collection includes the option to break the climb to Shangri-La across two days instead of one, which it presents as the difference between enjoying the altitude and spending a day with a headache. Xishuangbanna is referenced.
