How the money works.
Our journeys are private — your dates, your pace, your group — and priced accordingly: vehicle, driver, expert guide, accommodation, entries and the planning work are bundled per person, with the written quote before any commitment. Yunnan sits below the Tibetan plateau journeys in price and above the city-break escapes: the dawns, the lodges and the guiding are where the value lives.
What moves the number: journey length (obviously), the position beds (a lodge inside the red land costs more than a Kunming hotel and pays for itself by 6 am), the season (festival weeks and the clear-season fortnights spike), and group size (a couple pays the vehicle line alone; a family of four shares it).
What the journeys cost.
From the current plate, per person.
The Dali & Erhai rides
Lakeside cycling with village stays — the classic easy-pace journey.
Tengchong & Gaoligong week
Springs, volcanoes and the birds' mountain — the far west at a week.
Terraces & canola photo loop
Two light shows, village positions and the southeast line.
The Nujiang valley journey
Nine days of the wild river valley — drivers and village nights dominate the line.
The Shangri-La & Meili overland
The high-country line — two dawns at the range included.
Getting it right.
How to read the numbers.
What's included
Accommodation, private transport, guides, listed meals and entries are in the written quote; flights to Yunnan and personal gear are not — the quote lists both sides plainly.
Season effects
April's water festival, Chinese New Year and the clear-season fortnights raise hotel lines 30–100%. The quote says which.
Children & families
Family journeys are priced per room and adjusted for age-appropriate guiding — see the family guide.
Custom routes
Any line on the plate can be re-cut to your dates; custom routes are costed from the same components, in writing.
