Much of the territory of this region is situated in the Argolid Peninsula. This region is truly blessed and virtually stuffed with ancient archaeological sites – some very famous, like Epidaurus, some less known – as well as archaeological museums.

This route follows a series of dirt roads and tracks skirting along the eastern border of the TAR, taking 4-6 days and starting in the west Sichuan crossroads town of Manigango. It crosses the spectacular 4900m Cho La pass on dirt, descends to a river valley at 3500m, then turns north into the Si Chu Valley along unnamed backcountry track through high grassland dotted with grazing yaks and past tiny villages populated by herders.
