Beginning in the ancient trading centre of Kashgar, China, the home of the Sunday Market. Which despite being 3000km from open water once attracted traders from all points in Asia, and still provides one of the most fascinating cultural meeting points in the world. The cycling will make it's way upwards into Tibet, and one of the highest roads in the world, it is here that the desolation and thin air will push all of our journeyers to their extremes, and give them each a chance to cycle onwards to Kathmandu, and achieve the monumental .
Spritual Mountain peaks, Tibetan villages, an 80km descent from the Himalayas into Nepal, the fellowship of cycling in a group; this is an oppurtunity not to be missed.
