A 10-day journey
Day 1:
Zheduotang-Zheduoshan-Kangding airport-Tagong temple-Xindu bridge
The route runs 117 km and cyclists have to climb over Zheduo Mountain. The Tagong temple and prairie are highlights along the way.
Day 2:
Xindu bridge-Gaoersi Mountain-Nyagchu-Xiangkezong
The route runs 95 km. Gaoersi Mountain is one of the best vantage points to view the snow-capped mountains. It's challenging but beautiful-take a break and take it all in.
Day 3:
Xiangkezong-Jianziwan Mountain-Kazila Mountain-Litang-Heni village-Haizishan camp site
The route's length is almost that of the previous two put together. Cyclists experience what it's like to walk on air and camp in the wild.
Day 4:
Haizishan camp site-Haizi Mountain-Batang-Zongbala Mountain-Markam-Lawushan-kou-Lawushan camp site
The route runs 220 km and features a nearly 100-km downhill track, which offers a delightful riding experience.
Day 5:
Lawushan camp site-Rumei-Jueba Mountain-Dengba village-Dongdashan pass-Zogang
Jueba Mountain is less than 4,000 meters high but very difficult to climb. The snow-capped Dongda Mountain might claim the last bit of your strength.
