This is a top pick! I continued for the next day, only to after a midday stop in larger military town called Miling to discover the next piece of road was being rebuilt. It was so bad that I my rear tyre that was pumped up to maximum pressure and laiden with the ...
The Shark Lady travels on
This is a top pick! From Kala Pattar we returned to Lobouche, this time staying the night in the very lovely Sherpa lodge. The day stayed clear, and sunset was spectacular, with Lhotse glowing gold like molten metal. The weather held the next day, and I have to say I have ...
The Himalayan M25
This is a top pick! We made the most of our early awakening at Tengboche and set off. Guess the direction? Yes, up! We were on the trail by 8- 9 being our usual- and soon worked out the big plus point of a slightly later start when we got caught in the Himalayan equivalent ...
A week in Shigatse
This is a top pick! This was to prove an interesting week! Most traveller's spend the night in this town, which is the old capital of Tibet. Not a lot of people know that! There was actually a lot to see, and I was fortunate to have the companionship of Lopsang and ...
Trek 2: Look at me ma! I climbed a hill!
This is a top pick! The day before we met our Everest (EBC) trek group was Holi day, a great send off. At the end we were soaked in paint and water (whatever you do, keep your mouth closed!) and had managed to retaliate quite effectively to the locals. A really cool ...
Chess on Tost
This is a top pick! ... We also had wonderful views across to Pumori, a perfectly cone shaped mountain, and to the end of the valley, beyong which lies Tibet. The next morning we set off up Kala Pattar, joining a high-altitude procession to the peak. At 5600m this was going ...
Tibetan Monestary visit
This is a top pick! This was the first monestary I came across the follwoing day,where I stopped to look around. The monks had obviously never been visited by an Englishman before, so were extremely curious. They were extremely friendly, letting me stay the ...
Cards at the top of the world
This is a top pick! Travelling from Luza to Gokyo, the scenery became more rocky and wild and the valley closed in. We were trekking beside streams and waterfalls of clear water, refreshingly cool to splash on my face. In places where the rock had worn away, the water ...
Everest base camp, 5200m, and on to Shigatse
This is a top pick! ... 20 minutes and are always keen to see if they can get something for free. Next day we head to Shigatse, the second city of Tibet. Its a longs slow drive at first due to the roadworks and diversions, and it takes over 12hrs in total. Helen, one of our ...
Wuhan to Tibet
This is a top pick! ... cart. All along the route much construction was underway not least the major new rail line which will eventually link China directly with Tibet. The most surprising building site was what appeared to be a group of 'holiday chalets' which resembled bright ...
Stuck at the Chinese Border
This is a top pick! ... takes us about 4hrs to do the 25km drive. At the border we park on Friendship Bridge built over the River and seperating China from Nepal. Our Chinese guide has not arrived and the Chinese authorities dont want to let us in without our Tibetan Permit ...
Road to Lhasa
This is a top pick! ... . We got along well, and wanted to see the same things, so it has not been a real problem so far. Mainland China is different than Tibet, so traveling there alone isn't forbidden. After the border crossing into Tibet, we stayed in a small town and enjoyed ...
Revenge is a sweet thing!!!!
This is a top pick! ... , not my best ever life experience. I won't recall those stories now as they're already documented in my entry titled 'Tibet Tibet Tibet' However, sat infront of me for the entire 5 day journey were 2 Isralie lads in their early 20's who were typical of ...
Mt Everest Flight
This is a top pick! 26.9.06 Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal Everest flight Des, Lynn and Lou got up at 5am for their flight over Mt. Everest with Buddha Air. They were very excited about it and hoped the mist would clear enough for them to get a good view. They were ...
The road to Lhasa
This is a top pick! ... , which was quite a culinary treat to go along with our 2 chunks of pineapple. Apparently, we ordered the "dieter's breakfast" from China Air. Lhasa is very different from what I expected. It's about 70% Chinese, although there is a constant stream of ...
Farewell to China and Tibet
This is a top pick! ... stories about it, but my British friends could not get access to the BBC. Crazy. But most distressing about China was it's treatment of Tibet and the way it treats its environment. Tibetan people cannot possess a photo or likeness of their governmental ...
Surfing The Himalayas
This is a top pick! ... F, or -2 Centigrade and not one degree colder. Conditions got continually rougher along the Friendship Highway in the west of Tibet with no running water, no heat and only intermittent electricity. Luckily, I also had my handy dandy headlamp (you were ...
A HIGHlight of travelling
This is a top pick! Our illegally hired jeep snaked its way through the very roughly dug out road. Actually, it wasn't a road. A track or bumpy lane better describes it. Derek, Brendan, Myself, Gary and Helen - don't know the name of the driver so his adopted name was ...
Tour de Tibet - Part 2
This is a top pick! ... in Gyantse. This was not all bad as we could use the rest and because Gyantse is probably one of the best towns in Tibet. Almost all of the architecture is Tibetan (not Chinese) and because Gyantse's Baiju Temple is pretty impressive. The temple is more ...
To the Roof of the World......
This is a top pick! ... left on the train to Lhasa along with eleven other people from our hostel. We have teamed up with Renske, a Dutch girl for our Tibet trip making the price a little lower. Luck was on our side for our train journey as we managed to bag some soft sleeper ...
clouds with rocks in
This is a top pick! My flight ticket to Lukla said 'check in by 5.30'. My guide book said that the best views were to be had from the left hand side of the plane. Logic dictated that the best place to be would be in front of the wing. So I got up early, determined to be ...
The Heart of the Supine Ogress
This is a top pick! ... length of Tibet with a couple of horses. Everyone has their own style and way of getting around and manner of approaching Tibet. Tonight, Germany plays Argentina at 11 pm. My first stop was the Jokhang Temple, the geomantic center of Tibet, completed in ...
Unhospitable punctures in the middle of nowhere
This is a top pick! After I left the monestary early I cycled through a heavy rain storm for about an hour. Then carried on West. I had about 80km to get to Shigatse, where a pre-booked 3 star hotel room awaited me. The only thing I didn't count on was bicycle ...

This is a top pick! ... , and the Tsarlung Tsampo Gorge is called Kangri Garpo. The area has been called the least-known mountain range in Tibet, and all of its large peaks remain unclimbed and most remain unexplored. The Kangri Garpo are the easternmost Himalayas. Further ...
Bounds and Freedoms
