This original outline is a planning framework. Exact visits and timing are reconfirmed for the operating date.
Meet your guide and begin at a moderate elevation with time to rest after arrival.
Explore Kunming and the Stone Forest before the journey turns northwest.
Travel to Dali and settle beside the Cangshan–Erhai landscape.
Discover Bai heritage, old-town streets and village architecture around Dali.
Continue to Lijiang with an unhurried introduction to the old town.
Visit a suitable mountain area according to weather and cableway conditions.
Travel through northwest Yunnan, pausing at a safe viewpoint or Tiger Leaping Gorge area when conditions allow.
Visit Songzanlin Monastery and a highland nature site with a conservative pace.
Keep a lighter day for acclimatization and final Tibet transport checks.
Continue under the confirmed permit and transport plan, then rest after arrival.
Visit selected historic and religious sites with the locally authorized guide.
Continue at a measured pace, balancing cultural interpretation with rest.
Use a reserve day for weather, permits, acclimatization or an additional approved visit.
Transfer for onward travel under the finalized ticket and permit arrangements.
April to October is the broadest operating window. Tibet entry permissions, transport and high-altitude suitability must be confirmed well in advance.
YUNSKY checks transfer time, elevation, opening arrangements and local access before issuing the final proposal. We do not promise a ceremony, harvest task, border activity or wildlife sighting that has not been confirmed.
No. This is a tailor-made route. Availability, guide assignment, transport and special access are confirmed for your dates before payment.
Yes. We can add rest nights, shorten driving days or remove optional stops after considering altitude, season and flight or rail schedules.
Only after local confirmation. Community access, harvest work, ceremonies and public programs change, so the final proposal names what is actually available.
We will confirm logistics, current access and an itemized price before you decide.
