Yunnans Ancient Tea Route Adventure

Xishuangbanna to Shangri-La– 10 Days

Join us on Yunnan'’s Ancient Tea Route Adventure, a 10-day journey tracing the legendary trade path through China'’s most culturally diverse and scenic province. From the lush rainforests of Xishuangbanna to the snow-capped highlands of Shangri-La, this immersive itinerary follows the footsteps of tea traders, monks, and nomads. The origins of the Silk Road date back to China's Han Dynasty, which established extensive trade networks connecting China to Central Asia and beyond. Along the way, explore ethnic minority villages, vibrant markets, sacred Buddhist sites, and well-preserved ancient towns like Shaxi and Lijiang. Expert-led experiences offer unique insights into Dai, Aini, Bai, and Tibetan traditions, while luxury stays ensure comfort throughout your journey.

Expect curated encounters with tea-growing families, monastery visits, local feasts, and serene hikes through valleys and mountains. The ancient Tea Horse Road was part of a broader network of trade routes, including the overland Silk Road through Central Asia and the Maritime Silk Road, which linked China to other countries and regions. From sipping Pu'’er tea with farmers to watching traditional dance in Shangri-La'’s square, every day brings a new connection to Yunnan'’s rich heritage. This tour blends cultural depth, spiritual landscapes, and natural beauty—crafted for travellers seeking authentic experiences along China'’s ancient Tea Horse Road, which historically connected many regions and countries through these trade networks, highlighting China's pivotal role.

The story

Inspired by the legendary Tea Horse Road, this tour was designed to offer adventurers a glimpse into the ancient trade routes that shaped the cultural and economic landscape of Yunnan. 

The Tea Horse Road and the Silk Road both date back to ancient times, with the Tang Dynasty marking a peak in trade and cultural exchange between China, Central Asia, and beyond. The Silk Road connected the country's western regions with central Asia and the diverse regions of northern China, southern China, and the east coast, facilitating the movement of goods, people, and ideas. Archaeological discoveries across these areas, including Shandong province, have revealed widely distributed stone tools and artifacts from the later period of Chinese prehistory. The Chinese Academy has played a crucial role in advancing archaeological research and deepening our understanding of the country's ancient history. Today, the legacy of these routes continues to shape the lives of Chinese people, influencing cultural traditions and national identity.

In modern times, the New Silk Road—also known as the Belt and Road Initiative—is a global road initiative inspired by these ancient networks. It now connects two thirds of the world's countries and population, extending China's economic and geopolitical influence to regions as far as the Middle East, Indian Ocean, and Arabian Sea.

The journey through Xishuangbanna to Shangri-La, via historic towns like Jinghong, Lijiang, and Shaxi, aims to immerse travellers in the rich tapestry of ethnic cultures, breathtaking natural beauty, and the time-honoured tradition of tea cultivation. 

This expedition draws those intrigued by history, culture, and nature, inviting them to experience the vibrant life along one of the world'’s oldest trade routes, making it ideal for enthusiasts of outdoor activities, cultural exploration, and wildlife discovery.
 


ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

YOUR TRIP DESIGN, PACE & FLEXIBILITY: This Yunnan “Ancient Tea Route” journey is fully private and built around your preferred dates, pace and comfort level, linking historic towns with the lesser-travelled tea and mountain landscapes of southern Yunnan. We will advise the most efficient routing to balance scenic drives, village encounters and time in nature, then refine the day-by-day with you. Distances can be meaningful and roads slower outside the main centres, so we build sensible buffers and keep the pacing realistic. If you prefer a gentler rhythm, we can add nights in key stopovers, reduce long travel days, or focus more on tea culture than hikes.

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, tea-region visits and cultural encounters. We manage airport meet-and-greet, seamless hotel arrivals and well-timed departures so you are met where needed and the trip flows smoothly. Tea-route days can involve remote villages and flexible local schedules, so we coordinate timing, access and on-the-ground logistics to keep experiences authentic yet comfortable. If weather or road conditions change the order of visits, we proactively re-sequence the programme to protect the best experiences.

ACCOMMODATION STANDARDS & MEAL BASIS: We select premium accommodation to match your brief, combining high-comfort hotels in the main hubs with characterful, best-available properties in smaller tea-route towns where inventory is limited. We prioritise cleanliness, comfort, reliable service and practical positioning to reduce daily travel time. Breakfast is typically included, with other meals arranged around your preferences—strong dining recommendations in larger towns and simple, dependable restaurants in rural areas. In remote areas, menu choice can be narrower, so we plan ahead and advise realistically on dietary needs. Your final itinerary will confirm what is included each day.

FLIGHTS, VISAS, HEALTH & TRAVEL INSURANCE: This itinerary typically combines internal flights and overland touring to keep the route efficient while reaching more remote landscapes, with moderate walking on uneven paths in villages and tea hills. Weather can change quickly in mountain regions, and in the south humidity and rain are common, so good footwear and layered clothing are important. 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). We will guide you on typical entry requirements and timing, while you remain responsible for compliance. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential.

COSTING, PAYMENTS, CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS: Tailor-made pricing is built from live supplier rates, so availability and costs can change until bookings are secured. The main price drivers are seasonality, hotel category in limited-inventory tea-route locations, internal flight availability, and the cost of operating privately in remote regions. Some 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.
