Kham is less travelled than central Tibet, ensuring that the joys in this ride lie not only in the views, but also stumbling across authentic and meaningful encounters with the local Khamba Tibetans and their culture. All the joys of Tibet, with more freedom and without an extra travel permit.
Bike and hike in the tranquil rural Chengdu as well as Sichuan’s spectacular Tibetan area. You will see the laidback Han Chinese around Chengdu Plain, the nomadic Kham Tibetans around Tagong Grassland, and the semi-agriculture and semi-nomad Gyalrong Tibetans at Danba.
Crossing two provinces, southern Sichuan and northern Guizhou, is all about diversity and allows you to experience countryside cycling through exclusive routes with no tourists. Extremely varied, ranging from comfortable cycling greenways to rural tracks and some roads in disrepair.
Taking you through Ancient Towns which formed the beginnings of the ‘Old Tea Horse Road’ and religious sites with over 1500 years of history, we have carefully designed the route so that the ride takes you through tranquil roads and greenways allowing you to relax and enjoy the classic lush greenery of rural Sichuan.
