Overland Beijing to Lhasa

Crisscrossing Adventure from China to Tibet

A kaleidoscope of people, scenery, religions and culture, China truly boggles the mind.

Along the way you will visit a myriad of world heritage sites from the Forbidden City and the Great Wall to the Terracotta Warriors and the Potala Palace in Lhasa to Shanghai's Nanjing Lu. You will come in contact with farmers, Khampas, monks, and many many others. This is a true adventure crisscrossing the vast continent of Asia.
