I saw that there are many agencies who can arrange a custom made tour for 10 to 14 days. I wonder if anyone did that trip before and if he can share his/her experience? Is the road as difficult as it is said? What are the nicest places to stop by? Is the north road (through Dege) or the south road(through kangding) nicer? What about Shangeri-la? Does it worth stay a few extra day to go visit that plateau? I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks a lot. Seb
