We classify this tour as Intermediate. The challenge does not mainly come from daily riding distance (60-80km/day), but the high elevation around Qinghai Lake at 3200–3300 m. To help you acclimatize gradually, we arrange a day tour in Xining (2200 m) right after your arrival.
The prime cycling season around Qinghai Lake runs from June to September.
May and October are possible but colder, with a higher chance of wind, rain and occasional frost. Winter cycling around Qinghai Lake is not recommended.
