Thirteen students from St Ninian's High School are beginning the trip of a lifetime today.
The sixth formers have organised a 28-day expedition to China and Tibet, where they will learn about different cultures.
Everything has been arranged by the students, including accomodation, travel, routes around the two countries and the budget.
Student Ruth Corlett says they will be helping a local school in Tibet:
