exploration caravan

the art of fugue

WALK, DISCOVER NEW VALLEYS, climb highlands, turn around mountains with pilgrims camp around a fire, share the march during the day or an evening stay with nomad shepherds, build friendships in villages, fall in love with all of these new experiences; such are the reasons that keep us going and weave a tighter and tighter bond in this Tibetan landscape.  We share all this as brothers with our muleteers, porters and henchmen, during the night vigils and the climbs to the summits.High above our heads the stars set our path and the pace of our horses. Our crew navigates like a ship in the ocean, sailing into forgotten valleys.

uniqueness

of your exploration

5 to 7 days exploration in immutable landscapes


Discovering forgotten valleys and villages, crossing mountain passes over 4 400 m high, getting intimately acquainted with mountains higher than 6 000 m, walking in step with our caravans for a week. Truly exceptional !

The burning fire within us


The Exploration Caravan is literally the Liotard spirit in its transcendent form. Walking far from Shangri-La, loaded with all the comforts, elevating the caravan spirit through contact with other Tibetan cultures, pushing our bodies towards this adventure road born within our hearts.

Brotherhood


After time and effort spent, our hosts and caravan crew become one, coming together at night, despite the altitude, to share friendship and drinks around the campfire.

Unique and exclusive explorations


The tracks followed by the Exploration Caravane are virtually unknown to the European or Chinese tourists. These paths were found after long efforts by our teams, who discovered them through trial and error, after more than a few scares, equipped only with compasses, survival instinct and minimal backpacks.
