Expeditie Aap
... vliegtuigongeluk overleven en terechtkomen in een klooster aan de voet van de Tibetaanse berg Karakal. Het overweldigend mooie klooster draagt de naam Shangri-La. Shangri-La is synoniem geworden voor het aards paradijs, maar specifiek ook voor het beeld van een utopie in de Himalaya.

The sounds of ongoing construction work on the new expressway nearby continued into the night.
In morning, I passed ...
On the rooftop of the world!
... just for this amazing experience. Later we went for a wander around the monastery grounds and found a collection of stupas strung with thousands of prayer flags… maybe it was the lack of oxygen but we were practically hysterical to find so many flags. We must have spent at least 2 hours just walking beneath the flags and looking at the different colours fluttering around in the wind; they were beautiful. We felt very lucky indeed. The next day we ventured into town ...
