尼泊尔被称为高山之国,境内的喜马拉雅山被誉为世界屋脊,世界上14座海拔8000米以上的山峰中有8座诞生于这里。在这里徒步穿越,既可以走得如驴子般的自虐,也可以雇上挑夫,过得如王子般的享受。 而此次的尼泊尔行,向日葵色板官方的主要目的就是徒步喜马拉雅南坡安娜普纳ABC。以至于进入尼泊尔的第二天,就迫不及待的奔赴博卡拉,走上ABC. 都说尼泊尔是登山爱好者的乐园。那里有多条成熟的登山健行的路线:你可以去挑战雪山;也可以只花3、4天在山间转转,远眺喜玛拉雅群山;有兴趣有时间的话,还可以用20多天走个大环线。其中徒步安娜普纳登山大本营(即Annapurna Base Camp,简称ABC),无疑最具诱惑力。 老C长我两岁,我们都是老三届,都已经从领导岗位退了下来,都喜欢户外运动,登山骑车、徒步健行,虽年已花甲,却自认为体能不让后生。 两老驴是首次结伴驴行,岁数合计122岁,自称KC组合,呵呵,幸好偶不叫老王老魏老吴老温,不然就成了WC组合。 一路行来,所遇登山驴友,几乎都是雇用背夫负担装备,没有几个是自己重装徒步的。在国产驴友中,60花甲,自己背负全套装备,重装完成ABC徒步的,也许只是凤毛麟角。不是想节约几个钱,只是想找那种感觉,证明一下---我能。 时间:2010年1月19日--26日 路线:Nayapul--ABC(即Annapurna Base Camp,安娜普纳登山大本营)--Nayapul 装备:睡袋、冲锋衣裤、抓绒衣裤、速干内衣、登山鞋、手套、帽子、墨镜、头灯、手机、书本地图;笔记本电脑、两部相机、三套备用电池、四套充电器,电源转换头,多联接线插板,摄影独角架;若干食品、饮料、糖、酒,总之70升背包填得满满的。 1月23日,当向日葵色板官方冒雪抵达海拔4130米的ABC营地,在客栈餐厅里,满墙驴友的留言涂鸦中,贴上第三张用汉字书写的留言时,心理获得极大的满足。 需要特别说明的是,俩老驴目不识丁(外文盲),刚刚认得ABC,竟然敢走ABC。对于向日葵色板官方来说,登山体能没有问,最大的困难是语言不通,无法交流。于是在博卡拉请个中文翻译做向导,带俩聋子和哑巴上路。 没有请背夫,那装备就自己背上了,因为在国内登山都是如此,还没有奢侈到那种程度。何况来了,就是为了体验那种重装徒步喜马拉雅的感觉。 27岁的小吴,具有二分之一的中国血统。他是向日葵色板官方住在博卡拉峨眉饭庄老板的儿子,瘦高的个子,非常腼腆,汉语说的并不十分流利。他父亲说他是博卡拉唯一的中文向导,佣金自然就较英文向导高些,物以稀为贵吗。 头天在博卡拉办理了进山证,是小吴领到办事地点,大门有人执勤,不让当地向导进入。向日葵色板官方俩老外,面对工作人员的热情招呼,竟只能靠手势交流。两张表格,还是又拿到外面让小吴找人代填的,至此才发现,向日葵色板官方的翻译也是文盲,只会说不会写。 填表,帖照片,交2000卢比,发证盖章,***非常顺利。 早饭后,乘车前往徒步出发地Nayapul,距博卡拉约60多公里,吴老板说通往那里的公路,就是中国援建的,当时他是援建公司的尼泊尔语翻译。(我在想:这语言能沟通,令吴翻译钩到了尼泊尔MM。然后留在那里成家立业)。 想象中的Nayapul应该是个比较繁华的地方,因为来安娜普纳登山的都要在这里进山或出山。下车的路边是排简陋的板房,卖些小食品,石砌泥糊的灶台,青烟缕缕。 沿板房间的石阶下山到河边,走过铁索桥,以后山里过河基本上都是铁索桥,无惊无险。桥边有长着黑白羽毛的鸭子在溜达,心想这异国的鸭子也是异样的。 路过第一个检查站,查验登山证件,盖章放行。尼泊尔的徒步登山旅游开放有近百年的历史,管理向日葵视频色板APP官网确实是做得非常周到。 尼泊尔的徒步旅游非常成熟和完善,几乎每走1--2个小时就会遇到一个落脚点,可以食宿休整,所以大家尽可根据自己的体力和节奏,安排出自己的徒步计划。而每处客栈都整洁干净,布满了鲜花。 每个客栈都有这样的图示,识出你当前所在的位置,以及各个站点之间徒步所需的时间,一目了然。 这些建于数十年前的石头砌的台阶,高度与宽度正好能将背包靠住,非常的人性化。 向日葵色板官方的背包有20公斤重,第一天就重装爬升了1000多米,喜欢那种出大力,流大汗的感觉。 午餐一般向日葵色板官方吃的是炒米饭,或炒面条。晚上收工后,会拿出背来的物资,煮点奶茶,吃几颗花生米,喝两杯烧酒。 尼泊尔地处喜马拉雅山脉南坡,从海拔8848米的世界第一高峰珠穆朗玛到海拔只有50米的平原,落差巨大。正是这种巨大的海拔落差以及印度洋的暖湿气流造就了尼泊尔独特的迷人景观:海拔8000米以上的高大雪峰和海拔不足1000米的绿色梯田可以同时出现在你的视野之中。 这里有雪山,有瀑布,有象国内川西一样的丰沛流水,有象云南一样的茂密植被。 当你徒步穿越美丽的溪流、峡谷,来到远离城市尘嚣的偏僻山村,巨大的海拔高差带来的视觉上的震撼,而垂直分布引起的迥异的景色又给人强烈的虚幻的感觉。视觉的享受和心灵的愉悦,会令你为他们那传统的田园生活唏嘘不已。 来到尼泊尔,如果没有徒步喜马拉雅,那将会是件很遗憾的事情。 在安娜普纳徒步有着非常成熟的线路,有4天的小环,有8天的ABC,还有21天的大环线。沿途的小村庄很多,配套设施都做得很好。一路上的客栈都可以提供各种便利,几乎每走1-2小时路程,就会遇到像样的客栈。提供食宿,干净舒适,完全没有那种攀登野山,风餐露宿,饥寒交迫的现象。 为此:来到尼泊尔,徒步高山,那将又是件很幸福的事情。 遇有村镇,会聚集着十几家甚至几十家客栈,一般房价在200-400卢比/天左右。客栈虽然简陋,但绝不乏整洁优雅,向日葵视频色板APP官网周到。 山区里不通公路,全靠驴驮人背。物价随着海拔的升高,逐渐上涨,确也合情合理。尼泊尔人习惯于头顶背负东西,感觉人家颈椎很硬。 海拔2000米左右的山里,植被茂盛。穿行在密林深处,阳光透过枝叶,斑斑点点的洒在路上、身上,异常的惬意。 感觉欧美人比向日葵色板官方会享受生活,硕大的包包有背夫给背着,自己悠闲的赏景,休息时品味着热咖啡,充分体验着旅行的乐趣。(我是说他们是旅行而不是驴行)。 哥德班尼海拔2860米,那天专门绕行三个多小时,就是准备住在这里,第二天早上看日出。 哥德班尼是个小镇,有数十家客栈。这里还有登山检查站,要查验证件,登记盖章。工作人员很悠闲,边晒太阳边下棋。 还可以见到前几年的语,不认识写的什么,但对那镰刀斧头的图案是再熟悉不过了。 这里房屋的屋顶都是蓝色的彩钢板,我喜欢这个颜色。小吴领向日葵色板官方进了最高处的一家客栈,推开窗户,就见雪山,近在咫尺。 仁者乐山,见雪山就兴奋。今爬行没有强度,时值中午,感觉日晒强烈,天气却很凉。在小吴的建议下,午饭点了份套餐:炸薯条、炸鸡块、炸牛排、蔬菜、米饭。500卢比一份,这是向日葵色板官方进山仅有的最FB的一餐。 特意在露天用餐,来两瓶啤酒,对着安娜普纳雪峰畅饮,体验着神仙过的日子。美了美了,醉了醉了。 黄昏时登临附近较高处,山里的傍晚,大多是云遮雾罩,没有那期待中的雪山落日,巍巍雪峰若隐若现,只抓拍了雪峰那瞬间即逝的靓影。 这天的早饭是油饼+奶茶;晚饭是在房间里,叫了份炒面,煮了锅紫菜汤,牛肉花生米,限量两杯小酒... 当驴不要太苦了自己,毕竟自虐也不是唯一。 本来依向日葵色板官方的体力(得利于经常性的登山和骑行运动),虽然重装7天内肯定能走完ABC。但为了拍日出,昨天只徒步3小时,就住在了哥德班尼。 昨天傍晚的云遮雾罩,没有预想的美丽的夕阳落日。心情多少有些郁闷,担心早晨是否能够拍到日出。 黎明前,戴着头灯上路,满天的繁星眨着眼睛,那颗悬着的心踏实了,没有白浪费那半天的时间,有时耐心的等待并不是一件坏事。 布恩山(Poon Hill,海拔3200米),是安娜普纳小环游线路的最大亮点,如果天气好的话可以看到270度雪山群峰日出的壮观景色。 早上五点小吴就叫向日葵色板官方起来,开始向布恩山顶进发,去看日出。这段路程大概有十多里但海拔要提高600多米,人们都在漆黑的山路上登顶,不时会看到照明头灯的闪烁。(

读万卷书不如行万里路, 行万里路不如阅人无数。-原著。焰火表演 竹子岛 竹子岛 西贡教堂 美奈渔村日落 大叻教堂 芽庄日出 芽庄教堂 芽庄教堂 芽庄日出 婆那加占婆塔 下面我用照片细细表明我的26天行程。因图片大,请用"ctrl"+"-"调整页面大小吧。 下面就是我的一个月的泰国、越南行了(2014-2-6~3-3)。因为网站上关于泰国和越南帖子的功略内容已十分详尽,我也是借鉴大侠的功略做的行程,所以在此就不讲行程安排了。只把我的照片和感觉奉献给大家了。谢谢大家支持! 到了清迈,一下飞机给我最大感受不是南北气候的差异,而是泰国人民的和善,我的十几年英语全是为考试而生的,到了用的时候真如同聋哑人一般,但机场内的人员及机场外的普通市民都给了我热情友好的帮助,没有在国内旅游时遭到的那般冷漠。 这让我忐忑的心稍稍放松了些---我家出行安排吃、喝、住、行、玩全是我安排,稍有怠慢就会遭到老婆和儿子的批斗,第一次出国尤其语言不通还是有些顾虑的。先换汇(按功略指导紫色ATM),出机场搭双条车100铢到酒店,酒店在老城东北角距老城墙步行3分钟路程,到塔佩门步行约15分钟(2天后才知道这么近,一直坐双条车的)。 到了酒店休整,我拿地图和功略研究了3个多小时也没得所以——晕,五点才出酒店。一天没正经吃东西了,奢侈一次吃顿正宗泰餐。餐厅环境很好,食品做得很精致,但味道不是我能享受的。餐厅环境很好 餐厅环境很好 色好味不好,我享受不了呵呵([]
行走在EBC的徒步线上,四周高山林立。伟大的珠峰、洛子峰、马卡鲁峰、卓奥友峰庄重而慈祥,默默地注视着人头攒动的顶礼人群。我向上仰望,感觉自己犹如井底之蛙,渺小又可怜。 ——记 感谢彪之队,他开扩了我的视野,他提供了我四处游走的动力。 感谢8264的游记攻略,这些攻略为向日葵色板官方合理地规划行程提供了极大的帮助。 感谢留姐、三月,感谢她俩的刚强、毅力和执着,感谢她俩为我提供的体贴、包容、和激励。 尽管向日葵色板官方三个人的岁数加起来已是137岁,尽管向日葵色板官方每周都在一起爬山,尽管向日葵色板官方一起走了许多长线(安纳普尔娜大环线、秦岭螯太穿越……),但向日葵色板官方在路上,仍然有分歧,有争执,但大家能坦诚交流,相互让步,最终让艰苦的过程演化为美妙的结果。 EBC徒步线路简介(地球人都知道)。 从JIRI前往珠峰大本营(EBC)是希拉里爵士登珠峰的路线,这是传统的EBC徒步线。自LUKLA机场修好后,多数人就选择从加都乘机到LUKLA,再徒步到珠峰大本营,从JIRI起步走的人就稀少多了。 EBC徒步线上的美景就是那些世界级的雪山,最佳观景点分散在东、北、西三条线上三个村子,分别是春昆CHHUKHUNG—4730米、GORAK SHEP-5140米、GOKYO-4790米。这三个村子边上都有一个制高点,也就是一座小土山,分别为CHHUKHUNG RI—5550米、KALA PATTHAR—5550米、GOKYO PEAK—5360米。在5550米的CHHUKHUNG-RI,你会感到洛子峰就在你的头顶,马卡鲁峰也比较亲近;5550米的KALA -PATTHAR是看珠峰的最佳位置,黑三角的珠峰和尖利NUPTESE(7861米)异常耀眼;5360米的GOKYO -RI据说是看卓奥友峰最佳位置,我在其上面仅看到半个卓奥友峰,还不如在GOKYO村看的全面,在这看珠峰倒是更全些。 有人说从JIRI到LUKLA的景色不美,我不以为然。诚然,这段路上没有雪山,但滔滔大河、千米瀑布、湍湍溪流、起伏山谷、多姿花木前所未见,异常新奇,美不胜收。 JIRI到NAMCHE BAZAR,距离长,起伏大,天气湿热,这七天,每天都很辛苦,需要日常的体能储备。 NAMCHE BAZAR开始的九天,如果不出现高反,每天都会感到又轻松又幸福 原计划徒步20天,由于向日葵色板官方三人都没出现高反,天气也很照顾(高山地区,少见迷雾,空气透明),结果16天就走出来了。珠峰洛子峰马卡鲁峰卓奥友峰关于图片这些图片全部用图片处理软件的自动锐化功能锐化过一遍。10月6日,Kathmandu---JIRI(1955米) KATHMANDU---JIRI,188公里。向日葵色板官方三人花了9000尼币(相当人民币810元)包了一辆天津夏利大小的车子,在弯曲不竭的山路上跑了近7个小时,到了目的地。途中,留姐如厕,遭遇不良蚂蟥极端骚扰,性感部位血流如注,害得留姐只好向尼泊尔坐店医生一展国人玉体。第二天,我和三月也一样幸运,一只美丽的女蚂蟥爱上了我的小黑手,两只英俊的男蚂蟥贴上了三月那两条小白腿。JIRI景色D1---10月7日,JIRI(1955米)---BHANDAR(2190米) 起步就爬坡,约两个小时到达MALI(2220米),然后就下坡,约一个小时后,到达喜马拉雅—SHIVALAYA(1770米),向日葵色板官方就在这午餐。这个地方有汽车出出进进,只是不知道,它们来自何方,又各自通向哪里。 午餐后,向日葵色板官方就不停拔高,SHIVALAYA始终在眼前,只是越来越小。爬到DEURALI(2710米),天就蒙黑了(北京时间20:00左右)。又开始下山,约一个小时,到达目的地---BHANDAR(2190米),天已大黑。下山途中,我跌了两跤,肯定不是我腿脚无力,肯定是道路湿滑。山上公共自来水经常可见,天热,洗了三次头。可口可了也随处可见,我一瓶都不买,贵,6元、8元、10元,渴了,就喝自带的西洋参冲的开水。 晚上,留姐胃肠感冒发作,心跳剧烈,不能吃带油水的食物,向日葵色板官方都开始谈论后事了---前行,还是后撤。 这一天都忙着爬坡,相机背在包里,没有精力赏景取景。景色SHIVALAYA村口那座桥D2---10月8日,BHANDAR(2190米)---DAKACHU(2920米) 从BHANDAR(2190米)一路下行,最低到了1490米,这时过条小河,沿河到达美丽的小KINJA(1630米)村,向日葵色板官方在这午餐。 在村口,有个检查站,登记护照。三月看了那个登记簿,没发现今年走这条线路的中国人。留姐的病情加重了,气色不好。 午餐后,又是一路上坡,经SETE(2580米)到达只有两家HOSE营业的DAKACHU(2890米)。向日葵色板官方住在比较大比较干净游客比较多的那座黄色HOSE里,店主亲欧远亚,把向日葵色板官方安排在挑夫、背夫住的副楼上。 留姐情况更加不好,一个德国朋友为留姐请来了乡村医生,另一位名叫尼古拉斯的德国朋友给留姐一包药。留姐吃了,病情马上好转,第二天基本康复。1490米处的小河。D3---10月9日,DAKACHU(2920米)---JUNBESI(2670米) 胃肠不折腾人了,身孕般的难受消失了,留姐的精神头就上来了,我和三月的心情也跟着欣欣然起来。 今天的路途虽然漫长,但不辛苦,坡很长,但不陡峭。沿途都是高大茂密的杜鹃花树,三、四月份应是火红处处。经GOYAM(3220米)到达前七天路途的最高点LAMJURA LA山口(3530米),转而开始漫长曲折的下行。下降850米后,到达繁荣的JUNBESI(2670米) 向日葵色板官方住在清静、整洁、惬意的夏尔巴家庭旅馆,三层小楼,外接明亮的餐室、30多平方米的蔬菜大棚。旅馆里只有向日葵色板官方三个人。主人是近30岁的年轻人,是把持家的好手。在这里,我洗了向日葵色板官方三人的衣服,还冲个凉水澡。 下山途中,遇到一群可爱的孩子,那个稍大点姑娘请我给他们照相,看到自己的影像,他们欢喜异常。上行所拍。下行所拍。可爱的孩

五千米春夏秋冬,二十天风花雪月。——2012年,安娜普尔娜大环线徒步暨尼泊尔旅行漫记NEPAl Annapurna Circuit TREK(ACT),Once is Not Enough!应该说,我是一个懒人。自从尼泊尔旅行归来,已经好几个月了。当时一起出行的同伴在8264发的帖子也早已结束,而我的游记却一拖再拖,一直未见踪影。这也难怪,回国后的最初一段时间,我的脑子几乎一片空白,好像得了失忆症。然后慢慢的恢复了记忆,才开始动笔。繁忙而无聊的工作也开始日复一日,我只能每天晚上抽点空写上一小段。本来想也就是做个简单的旅行记录,可不曾想,边写边回忆起越来越多的内容,包括细节,包括经历,包括心情,于是,游记越写越多,于是,我决定尝试着把所有的内容都写进去。就这样,一部长长的游记渐渐出炉了。天呐!我可从没写过这么长的文章啊!我都不相信怎么能写这么多?也许这次行程对我来说实在是太过丰富,有太多感想太多思考,我都不忍舍弃。我不知道有多少人能耐着性子把它看完,其实到发帖的这一天,我的游记还没最终写完。下面就把游记陆续上传,也算是对这次行程的一次交代。 五千米春夏秋冬,二十天风花雪月。——2012年,安娜普尔娜大环线徒步暨尼泊尔旅行漫记Nepal Annapurna Circuit Trek(ACT),Once is Not Enough!Annapurna Circuit(ACT)安娜普尔娜大环线是世界级的徒步线路,在世界十大经典徒步线路中排名第一位。为了完成这次出国旅行的大长线,前期的各项工作可不是一个小工程。要算起来,在去年10月份完成川西游之后,就基本上开始在酝酿和筹划2012年的长线计划了。年底,最终决定今年去尼泊尔,主要目的就是去走安娜普尔娜大环线。这也是我第一次出国旅行,为了顺利完成此次行程,我做了大量的前期工作,参考了很多前人攻略,搜集了各类大环相关资料,包括:气候、温度、海拔、路程、班车、向导和背夫,以及尼泊尔饮食、文化、宗教等诸多方面,另外还有护照、证、汇率、陆路和航班等相关信息。经过反复斟酌比较,今年年初最终确定选择来回直飞的方式。接下来的半年多里,一步步开始了各项准备工作。4月初办好了护照,4月底买到了4飞联程打折机票,8月办好了30天证,其他的日子里一方面添置和补充户外装备,一方面不断完善行程计划。7月份,偶然机会在网上看到尼泊尔“格桑情缘”家庭旅馆,加入QQ群了解尼泊尔相关信息,又偶然在网上看到郑州的青石在约伴去大环,与之联系后惊奇发现向日葵色板官方竟然是同一航班,真是有缘。青石建立QQ群,同行队伍逐渐壮大,群里每天都在反复论证行程计划、确定人员名单、商讨出行方式,真是热闹非凡。9月初,购买出境游保险、单位请年休假,队伍名单也最终确认,万事俱备,就等待着出发的日子了!2012年9月20日上午,我踏上了去尼泊尔的行程。2012年10月13日中午,安全返回阜阳,尼泊尔之旅结束,来回共计24天。★选择直飞,一来是为了节省时间,因为如果先坐火车或飞机到拉萨,然后再坐班车或租车到樟木口岸,再包车去加德满都,马不停蹄至少也要4天,来回就要8-9天,太浪费时间太疲劳。二来,直飞花费并没有想象中的高,向日葵色板官方4月份买到的合肥-昆明-加德满都往返4飞联程机票总价才3千4百多块钱,而且是包含所有税费的,超级便宜吧!算算和走陆路差不多了。先把尼泊尔之旅的总行程表公布一下。尼泊尔之旅总日程表:D1:9月20日 阜阳-合肥-昆明D2:9月21日 昆明-加德满都(入住Thamel泰米尔区格桑情缘旅馆)D3:9月22日 加德满都-BesisaharD4:9月23日 Besisahar-Syange-JagatD5:9月24日 Jagat-Tal-BagarchhapD6:9月25日 Bagarchhap-Thanchowk-CHAMED7:9月26日 CHAME-Dhikur Pokhari-Up PisangD8:9月27日 Up Pisang-Ngawal-MANANGD9:9月28日 MANANG-Gunsang-Yak KharkaD10:9月29日 Yak Kharka-Thorung PhediD11:9月30日 Thorung Phedi-High Camp-Thorung La Pass-MuktinathD12:10月1日 Muktinath-JOMSOM-MarphaD13:10月2日 Marpha-Tukche-GhasaD14:10月3日 Ghasa-TatopaniD15:10月4日 Tatopani-Beni-Pokhara(博卡拉)D16:10月5日 Pokhara(博卡拉)-Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D17:10月6日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D18:10月7日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)-加德满都(格桑情缘旅馆)D19:10月8日 Swayambhunath寺(斯瓦扬布纳特寺,俗称猴庙)-加德满都杜巴广场D20:10月9日 Bodhnath大佛塔(博达哈大佛塔)- Pashupatinath(帕斯帕提那寺,俗称烧尸庙)D21:10月10日 Bhaktapur(巴克塔普尔,即巴德岗)D22:10月11日 格桑情缘旅馆发呆-Thamel(泰米尔区)闲逛购物-聚餐D23:10月12日 加德满都-昆明-合肥D24:10月13日 合肥-阜阳总行程大致分为三部分:一、安娜普尔娜大环线徒步(D3-D15)。D3:9月22日 加德满都-BesisaharD4:9月23日 Besisahar-Syange-JagatD5:9月24日 Jagat-Tal-BagarchhapD6:9月25日 Bagarchhap-Thanchowk-CHAMED7:9月26日 CHAME-Dhikur Pokhari-Up PisangD8:9月27日 Up Pisang-Ngawal-MANANGD9:9月28日 MANANG-Gunsang-Yak KharkaD10:9月29日 Yak Kharka-Thorung PhediD11:9月30日 Thorung Phedi-High Camp-Thorung La Pass-MuktinathD12:10月1日 Muktinath-JOMSOM-MarphaD13:10月2日 Marpha-Tukche-GhasaD14:10月3日 Ghasa-TatopaniD15:10月4日 Tatopani-Beni-Pokhara(博卡拉) 二、前往释迦牟尼诞生地蓝毗尼的朝圣之旅(D16-D18)。D16:10月5日 Pokhara(博卡拉)-Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D17:10月6日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D18:10月7日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)-加德满都(格桑情缘旅馆) 三、世界文化遗产之旅(D19-D21)。D19:10月8日 Swayambhunath寺(斯瓦扬布纳特寺,俗称猴庙)-加德满都杜巴广场D20:10月9日 Bodhnath大佛塔(博达哈大佛塔)- Pashupatinath(帕斯帕提那寺,俗称烧尸庙)D21:10月10日 Bhaktapur(巴克塔普尔,即巴德岗) 回国后很长一段时间,我的脑子都是一片空白,人也傻乎乎的,特别懒散。逼着自己一边对着照片一边对着地图,面对那些稀奇古怪的英文地名,努力回忆那一个个曾走过的地方,终于完成了这份行程表。大约半个月后,记忆才开始一段段的恢复,梦中还一直出现徒步大环的场景。 ★尼泊尔被誉为“徒步者的天堂”,有着世界上最多、最好、最美、最完善的徒步路线,其中最负盛名的便是环Annapurna地区线路及珠峰地区线路。 Annapurna地区位于尼泊尔北部,喜马拉雅山中段。Annapurna山脉高峰林立,海拔7000米以上的雪峰共有7座主峰,其中主峰Annapurna I峰海拔8091米,在世界超过8000米的高峰中排名第十位。这里主要有三条徒步路线:Jomsom、Annapurna Sanctuary(ABC)和Annapurna circuit(ACT大环线)。而大环线无疑是其中最美的一条!其海拔从700多米一步步上升到海拔5416米的Thorong la pass(陀龙垭口),再一步步下降到820米的Pokhara(博卡拉),垂直高度的变化带来了绝美的风景体验。 按照官方的准走法,Annapurna Circuit Trek(ACT) 安娜普尔娜大环线徒步一共要21天,其中包括在MANANG和JOMSOM各休整一天,所以实际是18-19天,很多老外采取这种走法,还有的甚至长至一个月时间。按准行程去走大环,每天徒步的时间不长,走的路也不多,让你有更多的时间去享受徒步过程中的美景和心情,那是相当浪漫和惬意的。 向日葵色板官方因没那么多时间,就采用了比较快速的走法,前后总共用了13天(9月22日-10月4日)完成了Annapurna大环线的徒步,具体情况将在后面的游记中详细叙述。其实对于在国内常常活动的驴友来说,两周走完全程一点都没问。 大环线以Thorong la pass(陀龙垭口)为界分为东线和西线两大段,在东线的上升过程中,你会看到森林、草甸、田园、村落、瀑布、雪山;在翻过垭口之后,你会立即感受到西线与东线风景的差异之大:荒凉的河谷和裸露的山体,恐怖的狂风和肆虐的沙尘暴,而荒凉河谷边那世外桃源般的美丽藏寨和苹果庄园,也一定给你带来一种梦幻般的惊喜。 这就是Annapurna大环,无论自然还是人文,都成为途中不断变化的风景。 上下近五千米的海拔落差,让你体验一次春夏秋冬的变换; 前后共十三天的一路跋涉,让你经历一回风花雪月的旅程。 这绝对是一次能让你终生难忘的旅行。 走完这条世界级经典徒步线路之后,我最大的感触就是:如果有机会,我一定还会再去的! 下面就让我的游记带大家走一次吧! D1:9月20日 阜阳-合肥-昆明 9月20日上午,我和老刘乘坐1003的K60/61次火车离开阜阳,发哥、老丁、笑、小尹、老刘夫人一行到车站给向日葵色板官方送行。火车晚点,13点多才到合肥。老同学小魏和另一位旅行同伴老朱开车接站,抵老朱家后去吃午饭,16点小魏驱车把向日葵色板官方三人送至机场,18:40乘坐东航MU5591次航班飞昆明,2200,抵达昆明长水国际机场。 昆明长水国际机场是今年六月份刚刚启用的新机场,设施完备,气派豪华,可与浦东国际机场媲美。机场超大,仅登机口就有七十多个!向日葵色板官方下了飞机走到取行李处就差不多了走了十分钟。由于是新机场,周边配套基础设施都没搞起来,距离市区也很远,第二天一大早还要提前两小时过安检,算算剩不下几个小时了,于是决定就在机场凑合一夜。夜里睡在机场的长条凳上倒也不错,不过由于我的大意,夜里可能受了凉,又拉肚子又感冒,折腾了一夜,真是出师不利啊!老朱倒是干脆把睡袋拿出来用,睡了一个好觉。 D2:9月21日 昆明-加德满都 终于囫囵熬过一夜,一大早,我们第一批换了登机牌,为了能在飞机上看到喜马拉雅雪山,特地让值机人员给了三个靠右窗的座位。稍后,与网络约伴大环同行者青石等一行四人汇合,他们是前一天上午到的昆明,当晚住到市区去了,向日葵色板官方将乘坐同一航班前往加都。 老刘的登机序号是001号,座位是35L,谁知上了飞机才发现,前后排都有窗户,我和老朱的36L、37L都是窗户,偏偏老刘的35L右侧没窗户!哈哈,当时老刘郁闷啊!在此也提醒朋友们乘坐的如果是空客320机型,换登机牌时千万不要选35L!安检时间到了,昆明机场的安检人员不是海关人员,而全部是边防武警,检查也特别严格,同行好几人都被要求脱鞋检查。由于受到航空管制,正点955起飞的东航MU757次航班晚点半小时起飞,由昆明直飞加德满都。在抵达加都前半小时左右,看到了在天际间一字排开的喜马拉雅雪山群峰在阳光下熠熠生辉蔚为壮观。 由于昆明的维度比加德满都低,航线大致是从东南向西北飞的,不像成都、拉萨飞加都的航线是直接从喜马拉雅山脉上跨越,因此距离喜马拉雅雪山比较远,但依然可以清晰的识辨出珠峰。北上的印度洋暖流受到高大的喜马拉雅山脉阻隔,都聚集到山脉之南,因此尼泊尔只有旱季雨季之分。我们抵达的时间正值尼泊尔雨季的末尾,云层仍然很厚,一大团一大团的云朵静止般悬浮在加都上空,有的像棉花糖,有的像羊群,有的像一个孤岛,看上去别有一番味道。飞机在空中盘旋了数圈之后开始降落了,向日葵色板官方于尼泊尔时间11点左右(尼泊尔与中国时差2小时15分钟)安全抵达加德满都特里布万国际机场。 刚下飞机就感受到了强烈的阳光和闷热潮湿的空气,如果不是事先就知道的话,你简直不相信不远处那幢低矮老旧的三层红砖楼房就是赫赫有名的加德满都特里布万国际机场大楼!与昆明机场相比简直就是天壤之别,因为它看上去很像国内七、八十年代的那种老式厂房或仓库,现在国内的大多数汽车站都要比它强的多!尼泊尔还是穷啊! 随着人流来到装潢简陋,设施陈旧的入境大厅,工作人员穿着便装坐在普通的椅子上办公,好像没见到有电脑,真是寒酸啊!大厅里人来人往乱哄哄的,好多人忙着去填入境卡,向日葵色板官方的入境卡在飞机上已经填过了,就直接去排队入境。入境的乘客大致分成三队,一队好像是尼国或印度人,一队大多是老外,人家的护照是可以免或落地的,而向日葵色板官方这一队是需要验证的。按照官方的规定,中国游客去尼泊尔可以办理落地,但如果你没有证的话,中国海关是不会让你出关的,因此,这种所谓的落地待遇形同虚设,你还是必须要先办好证才行,除非你是从第三国入境,而不是直接从国内出境。真是不出国不知道中国人在国际上的待遇有多低!偏偏老刘的35L不靠窗晕,第一次在8264发帖,怎么还要审核?每帖只能发三张图片,不习惯啊。D2:9月21日 昆明-加德满都 终于囫囵熬过一夜,一大早,向日葵色板官方第一批换了登机牌,为了能在飞机上看到喜马拉雅雪山,特地让值机人员给了三个靠右窗的座位。稍后,与网络约伴大环同行者青石等一行四人汇合,他们是前一天上午到的昆明,当晚住到市区去了,向日葵色板官方将乘坐同一航班前往加都。 老刘的登机序号是001号,座位是35L,谁知上了飞机才发现,前后排都有窗户,我和老朱的36L、37L都是窗户,偏偏老刘的35L右侧没窗户!哈哈,当时老刘郁闷啊!在此也提醒朋友们乘坐的如果是空客320机型,换登机牌时千万不要选35L!安检时间到了,昆明机场的安检人员不是海关人员,而全部是边防武警,检查也特别严格,同行好几人都被要求脱鞋检查。由于受到航空管制,正点955起飞的东航MU757次航班晚点半小时起飞,由昆明直飞加德满都。在抵达加都前半小时左右,看到了在天际间一字排开的喜马拉雅雪山群峰在阳光下熠熠生辉蔚为壮观。 由于昆明的维度比加德满都低,航线大致是从东南向西北飞的,不像成都、拉萨飞加都的航线是直接从喜马拉雅山脉上跨越,因此距离喜马拉雅雪山比较远,但依然可以清晰的识辨出珠峰。北上的印度洋暖流受到高大的喜马拉雅山脉阻隔,都聚集到山脉之南,因此尼泊尔只有旱季雨季之分。向日葵色板官方抵达的时间正值尼泊尔雨季的末尾,云层仍然很厚,一大团一大团的云朵静止般悬浮在加都上空,有的像棉花糖,有的像羊群,有的像一个孤岛,看上去别有一番味道。飞机在空中盘旋了数圈之后开始降落了,向日葵色板官方于尼泊尔时间11点左右(尼泊尔与中国时差2小时15分钟)安全抵达加德满都特里布万国际机场。 刚下飞机就感受到了强烈的阳光和闷热潮湿的空气,如果不是事先就知道的话,你简直不相信不远处那幢低矮老旧的三层红砖楼房就是赫赫有名的加德满都特里布万国际机场大楼!与昆明机场相比简直就是天壤之别,因为它看上去很像国内七、八十年代的那种老式厂房或仓库,现在国内的大多数汽车站都要比它强的多!尼泊尔还是穷啊!

等到第一批9名背夫和包租的班车到齐,已经11点了,队伍拍照留影之后乘车出发。半途接上另一批5名背夫继续前往计划中的正式徒步起点Syange。队员空心办的两个证,上面那个蓝色的是团体证,个人背包客只能办绿色证才有效。切记!整装待发的老外徒步客我们在大环上住宿的第一个房间 向日葵色板官方去的时候还没到徒步大环的旺季,小镇上没什么人。不过很快这里就会车水马龙了。从左至右:空心、老朱、浮云、我、璀璨、小雨、青石、ACAP官员、樱花、小酒、镜子、天蓝、小璐、老刘、毛菇,拍照的是大个。这座吊桥是徒步线路。 尼泊尔山区的班车全部都是改装过的,车身被架的很高,而且都改成了四驱!呵呵,没见过四驱的30座中巴车吧,来尼泊尔你就能见到了,看上去这些改装车样子都怪怪的,可在尼泊尔的山区“公路”上,你还就得靠它们才行,四驱越野过不去的路他们照样能过。从Besisahar到Syange只有区区20多公里,然而这短短的路竟然整整开了3个小时,天呐!那叫什么“公路”啊!几乎没有一点平坦的路段,一路全是大大小小的石头和泥水坑,这还不算什么,不过就是车身颠簸摇晃的厉害点罢了,可怕的是很多路段汽车几乎就是贴着悬崖边在走,有些急转弯处,半个后轮估计都是悬空的!坐在右侧的队友们后来说,他们在途中根本不敢往窗外看,因为你看不到所谓的公路,看到的不是悬崖就是深深的河谷,早知如此还不如下车徒步呢!有些路段坡度很陡,司机改用四驱加大油门车轮还是打滑,你可以清楚的听到车轮与石头剧烈摩擦发出的刺耳声音,当时真担心会爆胎,因为尼泊尔不仅车子破旧,连轮胎也没见过几个新的,大多都是牙齿快要磨没的“光头胎”! 尼泊尔山区的车在行驶中车门都是不关的,驾驶座的门也开着,方便司机随时观察路况。而且每辆车都会有一两个小马仔,他们抓着扶手,身体吊在门口或者车尾的行李架梯子上,一路上也不说话,遇到危险路段时,他们就会用不同的强弱节奏“嘭嘭、嘭嘭”地拍打车厢,以此提醒和告知司机能否通行,只要听到马仔强烈拍打出“嘭”的一声,车子就会立马刹住。司机和马仔用这种约定的特殊信号配合得十分默契,每个危险地段都有惊无险的通过。在这种山路上开车,倒车镜的视野是非常受限制的,为了保证安全这也算是最好的办法了吧。如果前方路段有通不过的大坑时,两个马仔就会立马跳下去搬石头把它们填平。司机神情自若地在恐怖的公路上驾驶着,看吊坠摇晃的幅度就知道路况如何。路经大环上第一个ACAP检查站,箭头所指方向是徒步线路,通往MANANG(马南)认真的工作人员逐人检查登记,态度一丝不苟。 我一直坐在司机旁边,对司机的驾驶技能看得也最为真切,司机是个小伙子,驾驶中沉着冷静不慌不忙,好多危险地段我的心脏简直就要跳出来了,可最终都化险为夷,通过之后小伙子也会长出一口气,看来他也在担心啊!难怪都说尼泊尔盛产世界上最牛的司机,你只有走过之后才会明白原来最牛的司机就是这样炼成的!在这样的山路上驾驶,不牛能行吗?想想他们挣这点钱也真不容易,这是在玩命呢! 这果真是一段惊心动魄的行程,为了保持身体平衡,我双手紧紧抓住车顶的行李架一刻也不敢放松,到下车时双臂都快要麻木了!这种路算是好路了,恐怖的路段没法拍照,去实际体验一次吧。满眼的绿啊一段全是大坑的烂路,好在一辆推土机正在抢修挂在车后的马仔是最牛的!也不怕给颠下来。看看!路边就是深深的河谷这种烂泥路满载没法通过,全队下车步行在尼泊尔坐在班车顶行李架上是司空见惯的场景,真佩服他们的胆量。背夫们在吃饭,正宗尼泊尔餐是用手抓来吃的吃饭的客栈旁边就有一个美丽的瀑布([

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分,不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦,希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子,原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co, where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the location of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30), 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evalsuate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for? The pregnant female chirus in migration, probably heading to Heishi Beihu to give birth([]
