Start/Finish: Shanghai / Chengdu
How does one pack for a spiritual adventure of a lifetime? Bring an open mind, a curious soul and if there’s room left in the suitcase, a good pair of walking shoes. We begin in the lush, mountainous landscapes surrounding Lijiang. Our journey takes us past locals at work along quiet dirt roads and on beautiful treks in remote and spiritually significant areas (sometimes with the help of four-wheel-drive vehicles), including the real Shangri-La. Our experience isn’t complete before spending time in the city as well, wandering among the myriad Tibetans who journey here on pilgrimages, spinning prayer wheels under colourful rows of flags. Now the question is: how does one ever go home?
Trip Highlights
• Hike to the “Roof of the World” with private guides and their pack horses
• Savour the distinct flavours of traditional meals prepared with local produce
• Unwind in luxury at the Banyan Tree Lijiang and the Banyan Tree Ringha, the first luxury boutique hotels in China
• Marvel at our exclusive access to one of Lhasa’s most famous landmarks
Tour Accommodations
Banyan Tree Lijiang
From the moment you open the gate to your private garden villa, you will sense the magic of Lijiang and the beautifully designed Banyan Tree. The warm rustic colours and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain reflected in your personal outdoor jet pool make your villa the perfect retreat after a glorious day of biking at the foothills of the Himalayas.
Banyan Tree Ringha
 Finally, after all the years we have been in China, the first boutique luxury lodge has opened, operated by none other than the Singapore-based Banyan Tree Resorts and Spas. The lodge offers only 20 rooms, all designed in a traditional Tibetan style of architecture. Our suites are two storeys high with an upstairs living room and bedroom and a downstairs luggage area and large bathroom with dual sinks, a central bathtub and monsoon shower. The lodge employs a mix of local villagers and Indonesian/Singaporean/Thai staff, and boasts a great spa with many types of treatments.
Four Points Sheraton, Lhasa
This brand new property has only 72 rooms and is located close to the Old Town. With modern amenities, it is a simple and modest accommodation.
