Talk to the people who will run your trip

Four things are enough to start

Send your travel dates, the number of people, the hotel standard you prefer and anything you definitely want to see. With those four items we can produce a realistic day-by-day plan; everything else can be decided afterwards.

1. Dates or a rough month — and your arrival time in Xining if flights are booked.
2. Party size and ages — children or older travellers change the pace and the altitude profile.
3. Hotel standard — comfortable local, international-style, or a mix.
4. Must-see list — Chaka, Mogao Caves, Zhangye Danxia, the Qaidam Basin, or somewhere else.

It also helps to tell us your nationality, so we can flag the correct visa route early, and any dietary or mobility requirements. Do not send passport images until we confirm the booking channel with you.

Three steps, no pressure

1 · A written plan

Usually within 24 hours you receive a day-by-day itinerary with driving times, stops, hotel standard and an itemised quote in USD.

2 · As many revisions as you need

Change the pace, swap a stop, upgrade a hotel or shorten the trip. Planning is free, and we will tell you honestly when a request does not fit the distances.

3 · Confirm in writing

Once you are happy, we confirm the itinerary, the payment schedule, cancellation terms and a supervised travel contract. Passport-based reservations are made only after that.
