The Peking to Paris Motor Challenge 1997 Route
Saturday 6 September Peking to Zhang Jiakou 230 kms
A fairly short first day, allowing time for the starting ceremonies in Peking, a run on the new motorway to the Great Wall for another Ceremonial Start and then through low mountains to Zhang Jiakou.
Sunday 7 September Zhang Jiakou to West Baotou 507 kms
A longer day, into Inner Mongolia, along the southern edge of the Daqing mountain range, towards the great Yellow River. Northern China is fairly industrious, we do our best to chose the quietest roads.

For most of the day the road follows the broad Yellow River valley through the characteristic semi-desert landscape of Inner Mongolia.
Tuesday 9 September Yinchuau to Lanzhou 501 kms

Wednesday 10 September Rest Day in Lanzhou
Thursday 11 September Lanzhou to Koko Nor 475 kms
First along the narrowing Yellow River valley with substantial mountains to the north and south, and into Qinghai province and its capital Xining the last town of any size before Lhasa. Leaving Xining follow a gorge and climb through increasingly spectacular scenery onto the edge of the Tibetan plateau, descending to the fertile shores of the Koko Nor, China’s largest lake.
Friday 12 September Koko Nor to Golmund 580 kms
A short climb away from the Koko Nor through rolling green hills to Caka salt lake, then through a typical central Asian landscape and broad irrigated valleys flanked by barren mountains, before dropping to drive along the edge of the Tsaidam, strange region of desert, swamp and salt pans. Some of this road will be dirt and gravel.
Saturday 13 September Golmund to Tuotuoheyan 439 kms
Golmund marks the start of the ‘Roof of the World’ section. Although mainly tarmac, the road across the plateau is constantly being repaired because of the severe weather conditions and diversions and delays are to be expected. Ground clearance is important on this section. First there is the long steep climb up to the Kunlun Pass (16,000 ft) the scenery is awe-inspiring with expanses of snow and moorland pierced by numerous peaks. Tuotuoheyan is an army barracks on the Tuotuo River, one of the major tributaries of the Yangtze.
Sunday 14 September Tuotuoheyan to Nagqu 433 kms
Continuing at around 15,000 ft a steady climb takes us up to the highest road in the world, the Tanggu La at nearly 17,000 ft from where we drop to Amdo at the junction of the main highway to western Tibet, and continue to Nagqu through abundant pasture with huge herds of sheep and yaks. Remote empty and windswept.
Monday 15 September Nagqu to Lhasa 341 kms
South from Nagqu the road improves and crosses a pass below the Nyanchen Tangla range descending through grassland to the thermal power station at Yangbajing. It is then not far to the Lhasa valley with the great Potala Palace looming over the city.
Tuesday 16 September Rest day in Lhasa
Lhasa is the religious, cultural and economic centre of Tibet. Sightseeing includes the Potala Palace and the Jokhang Temple. Lhasa offers most of the facilities that might be needed for preparations for the hard drive into the Himalayas and a warm, friendly greeting from Tibetans.
Wednesday 17 September Lhasa to Xigaze 255 kms
Although short in distance, this is tough day. Down the Lhasa valley to the Yarlung Tsang-Po, Tibet’s great river which we cross and turn off to the west. From here to the Nepalese border the road is almost entirely dirt or gravel and is often in poor condition. There is the long climb to the Kamba La (15,600 ft) at the top is a splendid panorama of the stunning scorpion-shaped turquoise lake of Yamdrok Tso and the peaks along Tibet’s southern border. The road drops down to the Yamrock Tso and follows the shore before climbing to the Karo La (16,300 ft) passing close to a magnificent hanging glacier. A broad flat valley brings us to Gyangze an attractive town dominated by a fortress captured and destroyed by the British during their incursion into Tibet. From Gyangze to Xigaze (12,600 ft), Tibet’s second largest town and site of the Tashillunpo Monastry one of the centres of Buddhism.
Thursday 18 September Xigaze to Xeger 230 kms
Another tough day, the road from here to Lhatze is under construction and there will be off-road excursions requiring good ground clearance and careful handling. After some dusty plains climb to the Tsuo La dropping again to Lhatze where the road turns south and climbs through bleak high altitude moorland to the Lhakpa La (16,900 ft) the watershed between Tibet and India. Xeger at 13,800 ft is cold and windswept with the snow-capped Himalayas on your horizon.
Friday 19 September Xeger to Nyalam 260 kms
A rough road and a tough day with possible off-road excursions along the valley of the Nien Chu, past Tingri and the best views of Mount Everest then a short climb past Xixapangma (26,300 ft) to the summit of the pass Lalung Leh (16,400 ft) The road then descends very steeply into the bare valley eventually arriving at Nyalam (10,000 ft). Between here and the Nepal border landslides and delays, hence the choice of a night camping at Nyalam.
Saturday 20 September Nyalam to Katmandu 355 kms
From Nyalam in less than one hour the road enters a gorge into a different world with dense vegetation to the border at Zhangmu, from here there are long demanding sections packed with hairpins to reach Friendship Bridge and enter Nepal. From the border point at Khodari the road winds around terraced hillsides to the Sun Kosi river with a climb to Dhulikhel before the final descent into the Katmandu valley.
Sunday 21 September Rest day in Katmandu

Today’s route begins to take us away from the desert into a more agricultural area. Through the town of Khomein, home of the Imam Khomeini to Hamadan, one of the oldest continually inhabited towns in the world.
