The story

We designed this luxury Yunnan tour to immerse travellers in one of China’s most diverse provinces, where dramatic landscapes and ethnic heritage sit side by side. Yunnan feels like a microcosm of China itself: high mountains, deep gorges, green valleys and ancient towns, shaped by centuries of migration, trade and local tradition.

The route was built around places that define Yunnan’s natural beauty and cultural depth. Kunming introduces the province through markets, temples and highland lake scenery, before Dali reveals Bai culture, courtyard architecture and mountain backdrops. Driving north, Tiger Leaping Gorge provides one of Asia’s great natural spectacles, leading into the preserved waterways and Naxi heritage of Lijiang.

Adding Shangri-La (Zhongdian) was essential to complete the story. On the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, monasteries, prayer flags and alpine national parks bring spiritual dimension and high-altitude splendour. The result is a comprehensive, well-paced journey for travellers drawn to nature, culture and authentic encounters, supported by expert guides and carefully selected accommodation throughout.


ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

YOUR TRIP DESIGN, PACE & FLEXIBILITY: This Yunnan itinerary is fully private and built around your preferred dates, pace and comfort level, linking Kunming, Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La with a strong balance of culture, scenery and light activity. We will advise the most efficient routing to reduce transit time and avoid unnecessary backtracking, then refine the day-by-day with you. The journey includes changes in altitude and a few longer drives, so we build sensible buffers and keep the pacing realistic. If you prefer a slower rhythm, we can add nights in Dali or Lijiang, build in more downtime, or adjust activities to prioritise markets, villages and photography.

PRIVATE GUIDES, DRIVERS & ON-THE-GROUND SUPPORT: This is a high-end private journey with dedicated drivers and private transfers throughout, and professional local guides meeting you for key touring days and specialist-led visits. We manage airport meet-and-greet, seamless hotel arrivals, and well-timed guided access at the principal highlights—old towns, lakeside scenery, monastery visits and cultural encounters with Yunnan’s diverse communities. In higher-altitude areas around Shangri-La, we keep days well paced, coordinate smooth departures, and adapt the order of visits if weather, traffic or local conditions affect timing. Where flexibility improves comfort, we will re-sequence touring so the experience remains relaxed, private and unhurried.

ACCOMMODATION STANDARDS & MEAL BASIS: We select premium, well-located accommodation to match your brief, typically using high-comfort hotels in the main centres and characterful, best-available properties in smaller locations where inventory can be limited. We prioritise comfort, heating where needed, strong service and positioning that reduces daily travel time. Breakfast is typically included, with other meals arranged around your preferences—curated restaurant recommendations and reservations in larger towns, and simple, reliable dining in rural areas. Your final itinerary will confirm what is included each day so there are no surprises, and we will plan ahead for dietary needs, particularly outside the main hubs.

FLIGHTS, VISAS, HEALTH & TRAVEL INSURANCE: This itinerary typically combines short internal flights and scenic overland travel to keep the route efficient, with moderate walking on uneven surfaces in old towns, markets and hillside viewpoints. Altitude is a consideration in Shangri-La, and we will advise a sensible pace, hydration and rest, with options to adjust activity levels if needed. International flights are optional: we can arrange the trip as land-only, or include flights as part of a flight-inclusive package under our ATOL (where applicable). Entry requirements depend on your passport and routing; we will guide you on what is typically required and when to apply, while you remain responsible for meeting visa and entry rules. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential.

COSTING, PAYMENTS, CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS: Tailor-made pricing is built from live supplier rates (accommodation, private transport, guides, internal flights and tickets), so availability and costs can change until bookings are secured. The main price drivers are seasonality, hotel category in limited-inventory towns, and internal flight availability on preferred timings, with additional cost factors for upgraded rooms and specialist experiences. Some high-demand services may require advance payments to secure space; we will confirm exactly what is due and by when before taking payment. Changes after booking can trigger supplier fees or fare differences—particularly for flights and peak-period hotels—so we will explain the impact before actioning changes and provide documentation so you understand deadlines and terms.
