Questions about this itinerary
Where does this tour start and finish?
The planned route starts around Dali Old Town and finishes around Erhai Lake. Exact airport, railway-station or hotel transfers are matched to your confirmed arrival and onward tickets.
Can the itinerary be changed?
Yes. The published day order is a workable starting point, not a fixed group schedule. We can change hotel level, walking time, special interests and selected stops while protecting the route logic.
How are weather or road changes handled?
Your local team checks current access before travel. Outdoor sections may move within the itinerary, and mountain or canyon routes can be shortened or replaced when conditions make the original plan unsafe.
