Follow The Trail of Tea Caravan
The ancient Tea Horse Route was once the main means of transporting goods from China to Tibet and India. While Tibet is one of the relatively untouched areas of the world, the eastern part of Tibet, bordering Yunnan Province, is the most untouched area of Tibet. Rich with virgin forests and crystal blue lakes, this formerly inaccessible route offers spectacular scenery as well as an opportunity to come into contact with the village cultures of Yunnan and Tibet. The long and winding drive on unpaved roads is a bit arduous, but will offer an unforgettable experience of a unique cultural region.
