Grasshopper Adventures
Dali Old Town, Dali
The region's best cycling outfit - day rides around Erhai and multi-day Yunnan loops on proper bikes.
Grasshopper Adventures runs the best-supported cycling in Yunnan: quality bikes, support vehicles, and routes that take you through Bai villages and along lake shores the buses never reach. Their Dali day ride is the classic; the six-day Yunnan loop is a bucket-list trip.
Guides are fluent, safety kit is complete, and the pace is set by the slowest rider - which is the point. They supply everything except your appetite.
Best for: Yunnan by bicycle, supported and fluent.
