By Jonny Blair


When you are looking for an adventure that will allow you to explore, you should think about backpacking. You get the benefits of exercise while enjoying the natural beauty and breath-taking scenery on your daily travels. The Yunnan Province in China is a favorite destination for those individuals seeking the experience of a life-time.

Preparing for your trip of a life-time will require planning. You can start by downloading free maps and information about the Yunnan Provence from travel websites on the internet. You can also download free of charge a number of planned trip itineraries which have proved popular in the past with other travellers to the area.

You are likely to use several modes of transport if you want to get around in Yunnan Province. Public transport facilities are limited and in areas such as Luoping, buses and taxis can be found but the services are limited and often run infrequently. Bikes, vans and horses can usually be found for hire when you get fed up with walking.

Although it is not always necessary, depending on the time of year it is advisable to book your accommodation stops along your route. The accommodations along your route will tend to be basic, comfortable, clean and very affordable. Many will have Wifi installed so their guests can send and receive emails and keep in touch with people at home. You will find the staff helpful and full of useful information on the attractions and places you should see in their area.

You will have the opportunity to sample many of the local speciality dishes which come highly recommended by many travellers. You should sample the menus in your hotel or guest house, or ask staff for recommendations and directions to the best local restaurants. Visitors to the area are advised to use bottled water as opposed to local water supplies.

If you require medical services during your travels you will be able to access them in most areas. The costs for medical treatments are likely to be cheaper than they would be in your home country. However, some types of medication may not be readily available and it is important to take enough supplies to last for the duration of your trip.

You can plan your route through a variety of different environments and terrains. It is important that you have the physical ability to trek through different terrains. You will get a lot more enjoyment out of this experience if you have the right equipment and have planned in adequate periods of rest.
