China Road Trip
China at your own wheel — a mapped self-drive through Beijing · Xian · Shanghai.
Starting from
₹98,999 / person
Overview
The best of China is usually between the towns, and this 8-night self-drive is built to find it. You get the car, a mapped scenic route through Beijing · Xian · Shanghai, and every night booked ahead — so Great Wall of China and Forbidden City & Tiananmen Square happen on your schedule, with the detours left deliberately open.
Apr – Oct is the sweet spot for China (East Asia), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 3★ / 4★ en route hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹98,999 per person on twin sharing.
Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, China visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.
