QingHai to Lhasa Tibet Cycling This is our popular cycling trip in Tibet China. QingHai-Tibet (QingZang) route, Highway 109, is one of the 5 main roads into Tibet. QingZang route stretches some 1160km, with an average altitude of 4500m, making it the longest and highest paved road on the world. The newly opened QingHai-Tibet railway runs almost parallel to this route. You will cycle through major mountain passes of the KunLun mountain, Tanghla mountain (which divides the QingHai-Tibet border), Nyenchen Tanglha mountain, the salt-rich Qaidam Basin (one of the largest inland basin in China), the vast steppes of KeKeXiLi nature reserve, and the prairie of WuTang grassland. In addition, other highlights include the source of the Yangtze river, sunset at ChuMaEr river and Namtso Lake The Qinghai-Tibet route is relatively safe and technically undemanding, compared to the other routes. It is ideal for novice cyclists. We have designed the trip to be part-cycle & part-vehicle. A safety-cum-logistic vehicle follows you through the journey. Beyond your wildest dream to cycle in Tibet? Think again, maybe not. Check this out! Grading: 4 |

Be the first to blaze this scenic trail with us. We will follow the same route as in our 4x4 Overland from Shangri-la to Tibet. But this time round, we will do in on bicycles and in the reverse direction instead. As this route is relatively tougher and take more days to complete compared to the Golmund QingHai to Lhasa Tibet route, we have scheduled only 1 trip in Oct2008.
