Photography and cultures in Yunnan

We have been creating China holidays since 1994. Recent adventures in China include trekking on the Great Wall, travelling the Songtsam Trail in Yunnan, following the Silk Route and rafting on the Li River. It is our wealth of in-depth knowledge and first-hand experience that has helped to created this incredible photography tour.

In Beijing, the hotel will be a good 4* property in a great location. As you travel to Yunnan, the accommodation will be based in simple local hotels. Rooms will have private bathrooms and reflect local characteristics.

Our group tours are perfect for solo travellers, as travelling as part of an organised group in faraway places does provide security and peace of mind. We handle all the arrangements for you and there will be a local tour guide on hand throughout to provide advice and help if needed, as well as the expertise of a Tour Expert.

If you are willing to share, we will always do our best to match you up with another solo traveller of the same sex so that you do not have to pay for a single room.

If you would prefer the privacy of your own room and would like this guaranteed, then the single room price supplement will apply. We aim to keep these as low as possible.

You do not need to be physically fit as there will be no long trekking. However, the areas visited will be at an altitude of up to about 4,000 metres so taking adequate precautions is advised.

Altitude – Although anyone can be affected by altitude there are precautions to help cope with it. Plenty of rest and drinking water will usually help. Medication is also available but you should consult a medical practitioner first before taking medicines.

Generally, good tarmac roads throughout but as some of the regions visited are quite remote there may be times where roads are slightly bumpy.

Yes, this can easily be arranged at the end or the beginning of the tour. Private travel arrangements with a car and driver will be provided and a private guide arranged for sightseeing. Speak to one of our experts for possible suggestions on what extensions would complement this tour.
