If you are seeking a truly unique adventure where few have ridden before you, join us on our Ride to the Roof of The World: Himalayas tour. Our adventure begins on the banks of the Mekong river, northern Thailand. Our entry to the Yunnan Province and its incredible mountain ranges will be through Laos. We’ll experience rainforests and high mountain passes as we head to the shores of Erhai Lake where the walled old city dates to the Ming dynasty. Stroll along 800-year-old bridges and waterways of the Old Town in the gaze of Yulong Snow Mountain.
The Yila Grasslands of Napa Lake pass as we climb higher toward the Meili Snow Mountains. Tibet is next on our agenda as we head west toward the Tibetan Alps and Rawok Lake, surrounded by magnificent snow-capped mountains and forests. The eastern Himalayans are in sight, where ancient temples, palaces and spectacular natural landscapes await.
At almost 5,000 metres above sea level the Rongbuk Monastery will take your breath away in the shadow of Mount Everest. A visit to Namtso Lake sees you surrounded by snow-capped mountains. As well as the locals in their colourful traditional dress, keep an eye out for wild yak roaming.
Lhasa, ‘Place of the Gods’ is the centre of the Tibetan Buddhist world. Your first view of the red-and-white Potala Palace soaring above the Holy City will amaze you. We enjoy two full days of rest and explore this magnificent city and the Potala Palace. Finally it’s time to return home, full of memories of your Himalayan adventure.
