This epic journey through Sichuan, across the Tibetan Plateau to Lhasa, has attracted explorers and adventurers, pilgrims, traders, and even missionaries for hundreds of years. The journey is a long one, and requires a certain dedication on the part of the traveler, as well as a certain resilience to bumps! We have considerable experience of this route and know exactly what is required in terms of transportation, accommodation, and red tape, not to mention the fascinating sights along the way. The first step of this great overland adventure takes us to Dartsedo (Kangding), the historic gateway to Kham and Tibet. Continue to the birthplace of the 7th Dalai Lama-Litang, then visit the enormous Litang Monastery. After that drive to the holy lake in Kham – Cuopu. Followed, must conquer, particularly these zigzag ways up and downs, the complicated land forms of the three river confluence, which is at the boundary of Sichuan, Yunan and Tibet: at first across the Jinsha Jiang (Golden Sand Rive, upper reaches of Yangtze) enter Tibet, then come Lancang Jiang (Mekong) and Nu Jiang (Salween). Going on westwards, pass by Ranwu Lake, cross Lulang forests and visit Basum Tso Lake, at last we reach the holy city Lhasa. In Lhasa we visit the Potala Palace, which stands on the Red Hill in the city proper, the holiest place Jokhang as well as Drepung and Sera.
