Relive the 19th century and step into the shoes of the French Mekong expedition of Ernest Doudart de Lagrée and Francis Garnier. Skilled sailors and explorers, they ended their travels in the province of Yunnan in China, as they judged the rapids of the river un-navigable. This singular itinerary, filled with history and breathtaking landscapes, will take you hiking or sailing to meet the people of the Mekong until the regions of the Laotian border. Spot the remaining Irrawaddy dolphins while sleeping in homestays or camping along the banks of this sacred river, sourced for millennia from the high peaks of the Himalayas.
An exploration and a trip through time.
