Falaisi temple
I m travelling this time with only the Chinese crew, I took the direction of Deqin where I thought that there was a beautiful monastery. In fact the monastery was not really a monastery but a holy mountain. They told me that we where lucky to see ...
Holy water falls
At 6:30 AM we woke up with Adrien while our Chinese friend were still sleeping to start the hike to holy water fall. As we start before the sunrise, the beginning of the hike was in the dark with the light of our front torch. We had a beautiful sunrise ...
off the beaten tracks
On part de Dege de bon matin vers Manigango, l endroit ou l on avait mange avant de passer le col pour Dege. La route traverse des paysages splendides et elle semble un peu dangereuse mais, comme a l aller, le chauffeur est prudent et tout se passe bien. ...
Holy ice lake in the Yubeng mountain
This started with a big discussion to divide the group or not in 2 parties with different speed, after a warm beginning, we decided to start all together. Part of the issue was due to my performance of yesterday: as my bag was very heavy, I could not ...
Imprimerie de Bakong
A part l atmosphere resolument tibetaine, l interet de cette ville est la lamasserie imprimerie de Bakong. Cette ville est situe entre le massif de Chola et la frontiere tibetaine au coeur d une vallee et enferme une des trois lamasserie les plus ...
As close as I'll get?
After the past couple of days, the (relatively) short journey from Daofu to Ganze in the (relative) comfort of a minivan came as something of a relief. I even had the chance to appreciate the scenery en route; impressively desolate, the dead earth, just ...
Chengdu to Litang - the Tibetan Wild West
... nowhere. That evening we ate dinner and took a well deserved rest. The next morning I awoke with my first case of squits in China. At first I thought it might be altitude sickness, but I soon decided it was the dodgy roadside cafe from the day before. A ...
From Mordor to Rivendell
... was utterly breathtaking.... It feels like New Zealand, seriously. It was so clean, so unspoilt, that it doesn't feel like China, with the notorious spitting and littering. We were later told that this lake is considered holy, and thus i guess people ...
Xiwu
... down to Kunming and get his Vietnam / Thailand visas to continue his trip. (so lucky...) After that, we travelled from Dege (Rivendell!) to Xiwu, a tiny town where we were supposed to stay for the night. SUPPOSED. Because the owners of the only ...
The last trek
Tomorrow (Sunday) we will hopefully start our last bit of trekking in Northern Sichuan when we spend 2 days in Juizhaigou Nature reserve. Debs has had a jippy tummy for a few days and so today( Saturday) we ended up taking it easy and chilling out in our ...
Where a Tibetan confessed his love for me! (Rach)
What a trip! I now know for sure that things are just not meant to be easy in Western China ( not speaking the language plays a huge part in that!) Dege Had such a wonderful 24 hours in this cute Tibetan township home to the Dege Gonchan monastery which ...
Capital of 13 Dynasties
... so they are still sharp and not decayed! Just a footnote: chrome plating was implemented in the west in the fifties, in China was well known since 2200 years! So much for our superior knowledge in technology! Otherwise Xian is grayer than Chengdu was, ...
DEGE
... de 16 papiers imprimés à la minute. L'imprimerie et le monastère à côté sont colorés à la chaux avec de belles couleurs. Dege, à part çà, ne permet pas trop de balades faciles, donc nous repartons le jour d'après pour Genze. ...
Sky Burial
Arrived late that night. Checked into our Hostel, again no hot water! Although we paid an extra 5Y to get an open element heater in our room which we really needed as it was minus big numbers that night. We met a strange character ...

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
... We travelled across brilliant plains flanked by snow-capped mountains... It seriously looked more like New Zealand than Tibet/China. And erm, yah, i also saw people perched precariously on snowy mountains picking Cordyceps. The wildlife along the ...
The Basil Fawlty Awards
... water was forthcoming...mmmm, think it's time to leave. Surely it can't get worse than this, we said..but then this is China and things are a bit different here at times when it comes to health and hygiene.. we found another hotel,got a room (complete ...
Christmas Island- not!!
p.s. If you're following my travels on the map, ignore most of the pinpoints - the map seems to think I'm on Christmas island at the moment!! Honest, I'm still in ...
MANIGANGO
MANIGANGO Nous prenons la route de Manigango en minibus et au bout de 5 km retour à la case départ car le bus a un problème. Nous bataillons pour avoir un autre minibus et finalement nous partons a 5 : deux hollandaises qui font un an de voyage en ...
