斯里兰卡是印度半岛南端印度洋中的一个岛国,北临孟加拉湾,西濒阿拉伯海,为印度洋东西方海上交通必经之地面积65610平方公里。人口1580万(1985)。僧伽罗人占72%,泰米尔人占20.5%,摩尔人占 6.7%,柏格人和马来人占 0.8%。僧伽罗语为官方语言,泰米尔语为民族语言,社会上层通用英语。居民67.3%信奉佛教,17.6%信奉印度教,7.9%信奉基督教,7.1%信奉伊斯兰教。首都科伦坡。中国古书称之为师子国僧伽罗国、僧诃罗国等。僧伽罗系梵语 Simhala一词的音译,意为狮子。古代阿拉伯航海家称其为“宝岛.锡兰”目前“锡兰”一称仍通用。如对斯里兰卡有兴趣的朋友,有想到斯里兰卡自助游的兴趣(附带说一句,斯里兰卡和中国一向友好,是最适合中国人去自助游的国家之一);可跟贴就你所想详细了解和有疑问的地方提出,我会尽量详细就我所知解答。下文预告;本人独自在印度自助流浪历时23天,从印度最东面的加尔各答横穿到印度最西面的阿姆利则,沿途所见所闻精彩粉呈。近期将整理出来以飨各位朋友。斯里兰卡有两千多年文字记载的历史。来自南亚次大陆北部的雅利安移民约在公元前 6世纪来到兰卡岛,先在沿海地区落脚,然后沿河流向内地迁移,建立若干沿河村落并种植水稻。移民中最强大的是僧伽罗人。这一名称后来成了所有移民的共同名称。雅利安移民的政治制度是婆罗门式的。在南印度种姓制度影响下,逐渐形成斯里兰卡独特的种姓制度,构成了僧伽罗村社制度的基础。 2500年前,来自北印度的雅利安人移民至锡兰岛建立了僧伽罗王朝。前247年,印度孔雀王朝的阿育王派其子来岛弘扬佛教,受到当地国王的欢迎,从此僧伽罗人摈弃婆罗门教而改信佛教。公元前2世纪前后,南印度的泰米尔人也开始迁徙并定居锡兰岛。从公元5世纪至16世纪,岛内僧伽罗王国和泰米尔王国之间征战不断。16世纪初先后被葡萄牙(1505—1658)和荷兰(1658—1796)统治。 18世纪末,斯里兰卡成为英国殖民地,并在二战中成为盟军在南亚对抗日军入侵的海军基地。当时的锡兰总督兼三军总司令是以善于调和种族关系而著称的郝德杰(任锡兰总督时间为1937.10.16—1944.9.19)。1948年2月4日获得独立,定国名锡兰。1972年5月22日改称斯里兰卡共和国。1978年8月16日改国名为斯里兰卡民主社会主义共和国。斯里兰卡自助游,分别为:文化之旅、海滨之旅、高山之旅和生态之旅。一、文化之旅。在斯里兰卡这个小小岛屿国家中,分布着与埃及一样多的,共6处世界遗产,可谓是个奇迹。充分展示了斯里兰卡有文字记载的2000多年的文明史。由皇城康提、圣城阿努拉德普勒、古城波隆纳鲁沃这3个城市构成的三角区,被称为“文化金三角”。在这个三角区内,汇聚了多达5处该国的世界文化遗产。这里有巨大的古建筑群;有2500多年前的宫殿和石刻;有古都的遗址、花岗岩的雕像、高耸入云的巨型舍利塔。参观、体验这些文化遗产,可令人充满惊奇和振奋,焕发人的灵感,让人感受到这是一次文化之旅、精神之旅。1、“文化金三角”世界遗产分布情况。(1)康提(Kandy)一处:佛牙寺(Temple of Tooth Relics)。(2)丹布勒(Dumbulla)二处:丹布勒金庙石窟(The Golden Temple and Rock Temple of Dambulla)、锡吉里耶狮子岩(Sigiriya the Lion Rock)。(3)阿努拉德普勒(Anuradhapura)一处:由菩提树、千柱寺,及数个超巨型舍利塔组成。(4)波隆纳鲁沃(Polonnaruwa)一处:嘎里亚那(Galvihara)古城遗址。(5)南海之滨的世界文化遗产。斯里兰卡全国共6处世界文化遗产中,有5处在“文化金三角”,另一处在南海之滨的加勒(Galle)。是17世纪建造的,位于一座岛礁上的荷兰城堡。 二、海滨之旅。斯里兰卡这个海岛拥有1340公里长的海岸线,以及数百个沙滩。这些沙滩中,已经开发出来,供游人休闲的多达几十个。其数量之多,质量之好,环境之美,都是绝无仅有的。这是大自然对斯里兰卡人民的慷慨赐予。斯里兰卡的海滨度假胜地,集中在这个海岛的西南部海岸。在不到200公里长的距离中,大大小小已经开发出的海滩就有几十个。其中几个较大的海滩各具特色、名声在外。 1、几个值得一去的主要海滩。(1)尼甘布(Negombo)距科伦坡37公里,距国际机场仅有6公里。因其位置优势,这里常年吸引了大量刚刚到达,或者准备离开斯里兰卡的各国游客。这里也是首都科伦坡民众节假日最好的休闲之地。(2)卡卢特勒(Kalutara)距科伦坡42公里。这里除了拥有迷人的海滩和众多的五星级酒店外,还有一座庄严的3层佛教寺庙,以及里面的那座世界独一无二的空心佛塔。(3)本托塔(Bentota)距科伦坡62公里。这里有宽广如画的海滩;有大型海滨度假村和星级饭店;有独特的古董店;有斯里兰卡驰名建筑师巴瓦兄弟花园。在本托塔河上,游人还可乘船在内河游览和进行各种水上运动。(4)希克杜沃(Hikkaduwa)距科伦坡98公里。这里是全岛最有名的海滩之一。希克杜沃以潜水运动和珊瑚礁闻名。同样出名的还有冲浪和丰富多彩的夜生活。海边既有很多顶级海景酒店,附近也有背包客能接受的舒适客栈。(5)乌纳瓦吐纳(Unawatuna)距科伦坡116公里;距世界文化遗产,加勒的荷兰古城堡仅4公里。乌纳瓦吐纳号称世界12大顶级海滩之一。这里有奇妙的潜水区域;有像沙丁鱼罐头一样挤在一起的,让游人放松的沙滩;有丰富的夜生活;有许多性价比不高,但却符合市场经济规律,比三亚划算得多的酒店和度假村。(6)韦利格默(Weligama)距科伦坡143公里。这里风景迷人,绵延10多公里的海岸线上,全是大大小小的沙滩。海面上有端坐在木杆上垂钓的渔民和游弋的双体船;海岸边有名气很大,但规模很小的金枪鱼市场。(7)美蕊沙(Mirissa)距科伦坡155公里。这里的漂亮海湾,散发着原始、迷人的气息。游人们评价说:这里是斯里兰卡南部最美的海滩。在美蕊沙,除了冲浪、潜水、休闲外,最富特色,最吸引人的就是,在当年的11月至次年的5月,乘船出海看鲸鱼、海豚和飞鱼。(8)马特勒(Matara)距科伦坡163公里,公交大巴车程约5小时。这里是海岛南部顶端的一座大型海滨城市。在城边海岸的突出沙滩上,可以看到清晨太阳从海中冉冉升起,傍晚又从海中缓缓落下的罕见自然景观。这里还是游人去附近几个著名海滩远足的,最佳的中转站和大本营。(9)坦加勒(Tangalle)距科伦坡195公里。这里有世所罕见,几乎渺无人烟,拥有宽阔漂亮沙滩,长达10多公里,能够一览无遗的巨型、正圆形弧形海岸线。眼前不时跃出水面的银鱼,和那不断掠过水面的上百只海鸥,伴随着生生不息的海浪,引人遐想,令人忘我。(10)瑞卡瓦(Rekawa)距科伦坡205公里。在这里,在相应季节的夜晚满月时,可以看到从水下爬到沙滩上,自然繁殖的海龟,还可以与它们亲密接触。这就是高勒到科伦坡的海边火车。在就是传说的海边渔夫三、高山之旅。斯里兰卡有多样的地形地貌,以及由此带来多样化的气候和丰富多彩的自然景观。斯里兰卡南部山区有30多座上千米高的山峰。有这个海岛最高的,海拔2555米的皮杜鲁塔拉格勒山(Mount Pidurutalagala)。在山区的腹心地带,最有名,最受游客青睐的地方是努瓦勒埃利耶(Nuwara Eliya)。这里是斯里兰卡海拔最高的村镇,是美誉度最高的山区旅游胜地,有“小英格兰”之称。村镇周围有高尔夫球场和赛马场,附近有可供垂钓鳟鱼的湖泊、河流。夜晚在零度的气温下,人们穿冬衣戴皮帽,依偎在壁炉边烤火的情景,在这个只有夏天,没有春天、秋天,更没有冬天的热带岛屿上,构成一幅奇特的,引人入胜的自然、人文景观。距努瓦勒埃利耶不太远的南部地区,有景色优美,海拔超过2000米的山区高原霍顿平原(Horton Plains)。霍顿平原上最吸引人的景点是悬崖落差达1000多米,被人们描述得具有极大想象空间的:“世界的尽头(World’s End)”。科伦坡和康提都有公交车驶往努瓦勒埃利耶。行驶时间分别为3.5小时和2小时。距努瓦勒埃利耶同样不太远的东南部地区,有山区的另一个著名景点埃拉(Ella)。乘火车从努瓦勒埃利耶到埃拉,这条线路是世界上最美的火车线路之一。火车在海拔2000多米高的大片原始森林间,迎着茶园,穿过松涛,沿着陡峭的峡谷蜿蜒而行。真个是景在心中,人在画中。四、生态之旅。斯里兰卡除了无所不在,令人神往的海洋景观外,岛上森林密布、河流纵横,无数湖泊镶嵌其间。全岛有12个国家公园,52个自然保护区,占国土面积的12%。其中最著名的是位于海岛南部,被评为世界自然遗产的辛哈拉加森林保护区(Sinharaja Forest Reserve)。最吸引游人的是位于东南沿海的,巨型的自然保护区 —— 雅拉国家公园(Kumana National Park)。在康提附近,有几十头大象的人工保护区品纳维勒大象孤儿院;在狮子岩附近的米内日亚国家公园湖边,最多时可一次出现几十头野生大象;在波隆纳鲁沃的湖边,夕阳西下时,可一次见到数百只鸽子那么大的巨型蝙蝠;湖面上整天都能见到时而浮在水面,时而排队飞行的成千上万只水鸟;在南部海边瑞卡瓦的沙滩上,能在明月下见到上岸繁殖的海龟;在美蕊沙近海,可看到鲸鱼、海豚和飞鱼;........([]

心灵的旅行——28天西藏、尼泊尔行 前 言多年来,一直有个愿望,就是能够去西藏看看,虽然在电视里已经领略了西藏的广遨、美丽,但那面积122万多平方公里、约占中国陆地总面积的八分之一、在中国各省区中仅次于新疆维吾尔自治区、位居第二、相当于英国、法国、德国、荷兰和卢森堡5国面积总和的神秘地区,还是想亲身去体验一下。朋友们都劝我不要到哪具有不确定因素和危险性的地方去,那里的高海拔、藏民的不友好、饮食的不习惯、气候的变幻莫测、道路的不安全等等都会给去的人有着潜在的威胁,无论人们怎样的诉说着西行的危险,都阻挡不了我要去的决心。人生无非就是两件事:生与死。生了,即意味着走向死亡,只是在从生到死的过程中,每个人的表现形式不同,每个人都在寻求着生命的长度,但生命仅仅有长度是不够的,还需要有一定的宽度。在某种意义上,向日葵色板官方每个人的生命的长度是不确定的、也是自己无法掌控的,但是其生命的宽度是可以自己支配的。我只希望在我的有生之年,能够让自己活得自由、活得充实、活得快乐、活得有意义。今年的7月终于有了这样一个合适的机会,由原始部落户外群海风发起的西藏自由行成行,且行程比较符合我的心意,我毅然决然的跟随了这支团队进藏。从7月23日出发,到8月21日回连,历经28天的游历,期间的酸甜苦辣咸五味俱全,对生命有了更多的感悟。从新浦火车站起始,经历了徐州、兰州、西宁的三次转车,沿着青藏线坐着火车去拉萨;从拉萨证去尼泊尔,到坐着尼国的直升飞机回到樟木口岸,期间享受着着尼国的自然美景、宗教文化、异国美食,承受着山体倒塌,村庄被覆盖、村民遇难和失踪的惊吓,忍耐着尼国的酷热和道路不通的焦虑;从樟木口岸沿着318国道回拉萨的途中,在颠簸的路上欣赏那沿途的如诗如画的美景时,惊闻一辆承载44位游客的旅游大巴车,在向日葵色板官方已经过去的路段上,和对面开来的越野车、皮卡车相撞,翻下十几米的悬崖,车毁人亡;在拉萨,向日葵色板官方9人乘坐着包租的两辆商务车,沿着318国道去成都。青山绿水的美景,伴随着泥石流和道路塌方,惊险的318国道伴随着两辆商务车的分别出故障;在九寨沟的静海前,向日葵色板官方为第二辆旅游大巴的翻车而痛心,为遇难的游客默哀。感谢上苍对我的厚爱,感谢爱我的人为我的祈祷,感谢西藏给我的洗礼,感谢我自己的坚强、豁达和乐观。我安全的、健康的、快乐的回来了美丽的措那湖土族第一村——互助村([]
第二次在8264上发帖找伴,临行前两个礼拜,才发的帖,详见召集帖https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1204496-3-1.html,急匆匆组了队。其实对我这样的懒人而言,实在是因为赶不上4.6小豆他们的队,而我又刚好要赶在4月底前赶回成都,这个时段找遍8264,绿野,磨房都没有合适的队伍跟,悲催!看来只有硬起头皮自己来,其实我是多么多么的希望有组织可以依靠,而我只需要走,不停的往前走,那才是我要的幸福户外生活。 而且发帖,从一开始准备走贡嘎,我也就准备了只留点照片在空间占个位,没事了自己看看,留给关注的朋友看看,就没想过要发帖。对我而言,发帖是一件多么悲惨的,饱受折磨的事情。花那么多时间码字,回忆,整理照片,坐在电脑前,我会发狂的。从玩户外这么多年,05年开始的,我就写过两篇帖子,但是只有一篇是写完的,另一篇就半途夭折了。而且都是在转山的路上就已经用日记的方式写在了纸上了,回来只是打上去,配点照片。出发贡嘎以后,从一出发时就安排了我们的小美女,还是在校大学生的小许负责本次的游记。但是,现在我一定要写,而且还要坐在电脑前凭借回忆原原本本的写上去。 以上啰嗦了那么多,就是因为有些话,我不得不说,不吐不快,所以我不得不写。先介绍下向日葵色板官方的队友。 小许 远近 谢雨 土狼 土狼+1 万里,可惜我这没有他的单人照,后面唯一的一张合影有他的一点影子,队友们有他照片的帮我贴吧。还有说明一下,向日葵色板官方成队为了包车方便是五个人,土狼和+1是他们先一天就到了老榆林,但是向日葵色板官方出发前就有联系,觉得可以一块走就等齐一块,其实是他们两兄弟在前面等着向日葵色板官方,辛苦了。 蔚蓝 闲话少说,向日葵色板官方来边图边叙。 一进到日乌且沟不久,就见到了传说中的红石滩,一个一个的红石滩,或深或浅,间断分隔。自然的和外面人工的就是不一样! 每天起床有太阳照着是多么幸福的时光,连那个影子都那么绚丽,这丝丝缕缕的阳光,让我想起向日葵色板官方翻过日乌且垭口后的那一晚,那一日,我们就在大雪纷飞中拔足狂奔。 而事后想起来,矛盾就是从第一晚的扎帐开始的。我的想法是向日葵色板官方从水电站开始徒步,大致一个小时左右就可以到格西草原扎帐,向日葵色板官方的攻略上也是这样安排的。向日葵色板官方晚上800从水电站出发,走了大约半个钟,在一个平台处,万里先是说他上去打望下,我本来在前面领路走的,然后就是大家在等他下来,10分钟左右他来了,然后就说今晚不走了,就在这扎吧,我把我的意思和大家说明了一下,然后表明我不算是领队,大家按户外的规矩投票吧,那边谢雨最先举起了手同意就地扎帐,然后是小许,我看了看远近,她没说话,我说那就扎吧。当晚下车的时候我就觉得头沉,过远近帐篷和大家沟通了下我就回帐篷睡了。 沟通挺搞笑的。明天继续! 继续我们出发第一晚的沟通,全队五个人,三男二女,我简单地介绍了下向日葵色板官方的行程,计划,再次和大家确认下,这里面谢雨和小许算是新驴,也是第一次走长线和第一次高海拔徒步,远近是爬过雪山的老驴,也就是我眼中的雪山派,万里,老驴,据他介绍是深圳登协的,俱乐部商业领队。蔚蓝,老驴,第一次带队走这样的长线。这次大家出来,我不是领队,首先要申明,我只是自己想走这条线,约几个朋友一起走,好玩,也可以分摊车费。其次,大家出来户外,尤其像向日葵色板官方这种重装徒步的,大家一定要了解自己。明天22号向日葵色板官方的目是上日乌且,23号翻垭口到磨西沟,24号冬季牧场,25号贡嘎寺,26号中午上木居,已经和多吉大叔约好了他们的小面包26号中午11点左右在那接我们,定金都已经放了,订车也是大家在老榆林就集体同意的。万里接上说,那要在子梅垭口住一晚。我看了一圈大家,没人有异议,那就稍微修改下,24号赶到贡嘎寺,25号子梅垭口扎帐,其他的不变,这一趟,我关注三个点,日乌且垭口,贡嘎寺,子梅垭口,其他的无所谓。从攻略上来看,明后天会比较辛苦。还有就是遇上大家有分歧的地方,向日葵色板官方大家投票选择,我说完了。 接下来就是万里同学,他说,首先,蔚蓝是向日葵色板官方的总领队,大家有什么事,要听从安排。其次,高海拔徒步,可能每个人高反情况不同,走到哪儿算哪,向日葵色板官方是出来玩的。当时听了那话,我第一感觉就是我们五个人的小队,什么总领队!未必还要整一排的副领队什么的。还有向日葵色板官方是重装穿越,什么走哪就算哪,那向日葵色板官方还做计划干嘛,还重装干嘛!在我眼里,重装就意味着能吃苦,想吃苦,以苦为乐,起码那个几天是。只是当时这些话没去说而已!当时就再次重复了没有领队这个说法,向日葵色板官方大家一起玩,只是前期攻略我在做而已,大家还是按投票做选择。万里听我那么说,又提了个:那大家就试下每个人轮流一天做领队,让大家体验下做领队的辛苦。我当时就没接那个话。心想,这个领队有什么权力嘛?一天到晚都在赶路看风景,有分歧了也是大家投票。而且让两个新人去做领队!完了我就回帐去睡了,我睡的是万里的帐,他们四个在远近的帐里接着海聊。这儿还有个小插曲,当时扎下帐时,我就和万里说,你要抽烟,尽量到外面抽,我不喜欢闻烟味。万里是把烟枪,他听了就跑远近帐去抽了,抽到多晚回来的?反正我早睡着了。到了行程的后面,远近一直策蔚蓝睡的帐,坐的车是不能抽烟的!说到我也觉得自己有点过分一样,把他从自己的帐篷里赶出去一样,其实我没赶哦!几个人无聊枯糙的走在沟中,一走就是两天,偶尔回头望望,就一直是这几个山峰垛那儿,听那个雪山派美女一直说说,后面最高的是什么田海子峰,是她的下一个目。我貌似没一点印象,哈哈,除了穿越贡嘎,向日葵色板官方道不同! 传说中的虫草,可别只找到美女哦 小荷才露尖尖角,小贡嘎 阳光如此多娇,引无数白云竟折腰 从向日葵色板官方扎帐的地方出发十几分钟就到了格西草原 经过格西草原后不远,向日葵色板官方追上了前面的土狼哥俩,从这两队变一队,向日葵色板官方变成七人队。 还有从出发地就一起走过来的两位当地挖虫草的村民,一路和他们聊过来,他们也是认为现在过垭口,难。而且向日葵色板官方今天要赶到上日乌且,不可能。 17:30,向日葵色板官方终于到了下日乌且处的一处废弃的牛棚处,只剩下半围的一堆石头了。万里提议今天不走了,小许有点高反,头晕。其实这时候离天黑还有老长一段时间,向日葵色板官方对下日乌且也没有明确的地。攻略上称从下到上日乌且还需2个小时,如果这儿算下日乌且,我们今天完全可以按计划赶到的。我说,大家看看吧,如果今天扎帐在下日乌且,那明天我们翻垭口前的体力消耗将会很大,而且时间上对向日葵色板官方也挺不利,向日葵色板官方必须赶在中午时间翻垭口。而且前面是什么状况,垭口前垭口后是什么状况,向日葵色板官方没有人走过,所以尽量多留足点余地给自己。大家都比较纠结,土狼那边那个兄弟,体力也比较不乐观,因为体重的缘故,他上到高原喘得厉害,土狼给他从两岔河租个马到下日乌且,牧民就问他要了五百,其实攻略上这也就一个多钟的路程。但是这哥们精神很乐观,他随向日葵色板官方,向日葵色板官方走,他也走,向日葵色板官方扎,他们也扎。问关键还是回到向日葵色板官方这,我建议大家考虑后面的路情,尽量赶到上日乌且,但是万里提出不走了,而小谢和小许无条件的跟他的意见,远近无所谓,不发表意见,我随大家吧。只能如此! 当夜因为有土狼他们带的腊肉,向日葵色板官方这边貌似都带的干粮,我带的鱼啊肉的都是那种超市买的包装的,对那种家用的有天然的亲近感,我很自然的就跑那边撑肉吃去了。小谢,小许和万里三个人在谢雨的帐篷那边弄饭吃,向日葵色板官方四个围在远近的帐篷里烧肉吃。今天晚上我都头痛有越来越厉害的趋势,让我想起EBC的几个观景点的苦痛,脑门两边使劲往脑袋中间挤,这样的头痛就是我的高反的典型代表。土狼的席梦思抬了一个放在帐篷里,我坐在里面,身体挺舒服,比他们任何一个都要舒服吧!但是头痛。土狼和他兄弟在折腾肉和面,我和远近就等吃就ok,玩户外这么长,似乎凡事都在亲力亲为,没享受过这种待遇一样,只是现在才反省过来的。外面慢慢的下起雪粒子,越来越大,后面又转成雨,尤其是晚上我回帐篷睡了,耳听着外面的雨转变成瓢泼大雨,担心扎在坡上的远近的A塔被水泡,防潮垫和睡袋全被水泡,那觉可真没法睡了,让万里大声叫应她,万一不行就大家挤好了,只是没有一点回声,雨的声音太大。 是夜,因为雨雪,因为有啤酒,因为有美女,向日葵色板官方四个好像聊了很多很多,聊到很晚了大家都不肯散一样。而关于明天关于贡嘎的,大家心头都沉着呢,估计不乐观,向日葵色板官方转回老榆林泡温泉算。 早上照例是小谢和万里最先起来,他们两个真的好精神,在外面转了一圈又一圈,向日葵色板官方还在睡着呢!向日葵色板官方都喜欢睡到太阳晒帐篷,睡袋,才有想爬出来的精神。 他们两个兜完了,来到帐篷前,外面昨晚下好厚的一层雪,估计垭口上,路上又平添一层。万里提议可能日乌且垭口过不了,改走盘盘山垭口,小谢也建议这样。我听了,认为这样不妥,第一向日葵色板官方没做盘盘山的攻略,第二,那边时间会比现在的路线多两天时间,向日葵色板官方的干粮和时间都不够。而且,从整队的行进速度的随心所欲,和昨晚恶劣的天气,我都只想下撤到老榆林泡着了。他们认为盘盘山应该只有一条路,而且刚好有一队重庆驴友走盘盘山,但是我认为盘盘山怎么可能只有一条路,哪座山都绝不止一条路,这个太冒险。而重庆队有租马,向日葵色板官方重装是没有办法跟得上的。如果大家不走日乌且,我就选择下撤,想走盘盘山的就跟万里走吧,但是我建议你们到两岔河租马,有马就有向导。当时三个人的小碰头就是这样了,结果就是他们两种选择,盘盘山和下撤,我的选择:日乌且和下撤。 等到大家都起来了,我提议大家都思考一下,向日葵色板官方下一步怎么弄。这时,万里同学很激动的说,他今天上午哪里都不去了,挖虫草去!顺便休整!我还未及吭声,平时不怎么表态的远近高兴地附和道,那我去你帐篷里睡觉去,昨晚一点都没睡好。小谢和小许一看,说那也挖虫草去,我说,你们要挖,要休息,你们呆着,我下撤!说完大家散了,万里和小许挖虫草去了,小谢去沟里拍照片。 1050分,蔚蓝,远近,和土狼兄弟两向日葵色板官方四个继续上路往日乌且垭口进发。至于事情结局为什么又发生了这么大的改变,请继续关注! 一路向日乌且垭口,只是图片上的不是向日葵色板官方,而是挖虫草的村民,这时节去,家家户户都上山挖去了,要找个司机,向导之类的,可费老劲了。 在下日乌且,发生了最滑稽最重大的一幕,我们七个人的队伍分成两队,一队在原地挖虫草,一队继续向日乌且垭口进发,向日葵色板官方四个整装重新出发,将近夭折的贡嘎穿越走出最坚实的那步 就在这雪地里撒把野 上完长长地碎石坡,是一个小垭口,一路顺着小水沟向前,就到了路书上小豆他们扎帐的巨石旁了,此时,大雪纷飞,我们四个队形严谨。 再往前,就是日乌且沟的尽头,远处连绵的就是日乌且峰和----。 未到山前,向日葵色板官方就要从右侧的山坡上往上往前横切了,爬升正式开始 上垭口前的最后见证人,专职挖虫草,他介绍的和小豆路书上的差不多,垭口雪到了大腿,估计很难过,建议不要去了。看我们那么坚决,告诉向日葵色板官方翻过前面那个小雪坡,再到视线尽头那个大雪坡,后面就是垭口,大雪坡前都有他的脚印,让我们跟着走。到此,看来一切都对得上,我的心稍安定一点。 一路上坡横切,间或会是灌木丛,日乌且沟慢慢掉在了脚下,小贡嘎也慢慢成为了背影 向日葵色板官方需要穿越左侧的雪地,才能爬上左侧的小雪坡,所以小,是因为她后面的更大,向日葵色板官方走近她时,看不到头顶和脚下出路在何方!只有上面,还是上面。这时的天,和纷飞大雪似乎一点关系都没有 路,就在脚下。 向日葵色板官方就一直坐在这,傻傻的等。从1520一直到1700,等着土狼他们两个上来,其间甚至发生了几轮激烈地争执。远近的观点是大家是一个队,就要等齐了一起走,前面就是雪线了。我则坚持,土狼他朋友在下面沟里已经是疲惫不堪地跟,这回一上坡准没戏了,估计这一趟就是向日葵色板官方两个的事了,你要上,向日葵色板官方就上,你要不上了,我更不上了。远近还是坚持就算他们不上了,也该上来和向日葵色板官方说声。这道理俺懂,俺也知道,这个结果,七个人的队,只剩下向日葵色板官方两个上去,就算过不去,起码向日葵色板官方去试了,很难让自己心里接受!但是大好下午的一个多小时,不就是最好的证明!向日葵色板官方实在是不能再等下去了!要么下撤到沟底和他们一起下撤,要么就是往前,尽量往前,再找合适的地儿扎帐。只是拗不过她的殷殷期盼,我只有轻装回头去找土狼他们两个,回头近300—400m,是一处高台,在那几乎可以望到沟底,扫视,呼喊,毫无反应。就这样,她彻底绝望了,向日葵色板官方才重新上路。后来下山后和土狼联系上,确实是他朋友走不动了,决定放弃,下撤到沟底,向日葵色板官方的呼喊他们能够听到,只是他们的回应我们听不到,风大,逆风。 看上去,向日葵色板官方离沟底是多么多么的近,但是向日葵色板官方走上来,很辛苦,甚至和土狼他们连告别的话都没能说上 雪地上徒步,让我想起在Cho La Par,我最不擅长的就是这个,一会会的工夫,已是脚发软,不知是走雪地特费劲,还是心里鸭梨山大,而且这个小雪坡的雪已经比那个垭口的雪厚得多了。我是男人,当然得我来开路!

和3000只羊一起过关各位看官,上回书说到,俺和天南海北的8个驴友拼车到了樟木,在希夏邦马峰下和北京来的林妹妹跳了一曲激情探戈。但是,这只队伍整体上显得有点沉闷,不符合哥哥我“融洽、快乐、有戏”的旅行宗旨,我计划到了樟木就独行,天马行空地干活。从定日到樟木,沿途5个军警检查站,看起来形势有点小紧张。但哥哥是有身份(证)的人啊(不仅有身份证,还有护照、边防证),哥面带微笑,神色自如,一般情况下穿制服的看一眼就放咱过去了。当然,有个小小的例外:过最后一道防线的时候,那个武警战士把别人都放过去了,唯独把俺的护照拿给他的长官看,长官又到里间去验证。不过,10分钟之后,他就微笑着把护照还给俺、放俺走了。后来俺想,可能是哥哥俺仪表堂堂、器宇轩昂,他把俺当成领导干部了。按规定,领导干部不能随便因私出境的,所以他要去验证一下哈。在樟木海关前下车,跟司机结了帐,正好中午12点。其他人往右走去兑换尼泊尔卢比,我打枪滴不要,悄悄滴溜掉,往左找饭馆吃饭。要了一份蛋炒饭,一个蔬菜汤,打发饥肠辘辘的“魏(胃)长官”。吃了一半,哗,门口呼啦啦来了一群山羊。不是一小群,是一大群哎,3000只的山羊大阵。大家都不吃饭了,纷纷出门看羊。饭店老板说,过几天就是尼泊尔的宰牲节了,几个尼泊尔人从中国贩了一批羊过境去卖个好价钱。后来我过友谊桥就是跟在这群羊后面进去的。哥认为,那是一种暗示。我在尼泊尔的13天,有4天跟羊打交道,就是布恩山徒步的四天,每天和羊争道。羊是一种温顺的动物,这是不是预示着我尼泊尔之行没有风险、一路平顺?闲言少叙,书归正传。我正在饭店门口看羊,那边厢山东小情侣过来了。他们说,大哥,向日葵色板官方正在找您呢。得,溜是溜不掉了,那几个人已经走过来了,我赶紧笑着说:来来来,先吃饭,吃完饭咱们一起过关。樟木人民币兑换尼币的汇率一天一变,昨天还是1比14.2呢,今天只有13.8了。不知加德满都汇率是多少,我先在这儿兑换1000块钱再说(后来到加都就后悔了,加都的汇率最高只有13.2)。过了友谊桥,早有人等着我们并领向日葵色板官方到尼泊尔公安局办理入境手续,后来才知道这是吉普车主,想让向日葵色板官方打他的吉普到加都。填了入境证,顺利上车,木有传说中的索要小费现象。书上的攻略都坑爹啊,我在尼泊尔13天,一个索要小费的公务人员都木有,你以为人家像你中国公务员呢,切。8个人租了一辆吉普,副驾坐一人(俺码子大,坐副驾),二排4人,三排3人。司机是个尼泊尔帅哥,长得像宝莱坞明星似的,一路跟女大学生小凌聊天。咱外语不行,咬紧牙关不讲话,任由小凌打点。说实话,樟木到加都的风景没什么特别的,和咱这山区农村一样。只是中途下车看了一会蹦极。偶麦噶的,这个咱不敢玩,看一会闪人。5个小时后,到达加都特米尔街区中国人开的凤凰宾馆。这下哥真要闪了。我跟他们说,我在这等朋友,你们别管我了。他们怏怏滴走了。那一刻,我还真的有点不忍心。山羊大阵过海关加都杜巴广场夜景嗐,尼泊尔人保护古迹的方式是在古迹上边卖菜加都街头一瞥更多精彩游记见QQ空间:391583130 混在尼泊尔(第二天) 2012年10月12日晴一个人出门去猴庙喝不到热水 找不到厕所今天睡了进藏以来第一个懒觉,8点才懒洋洋滴起床。尼泊尔时间8点可是北京时间10点15哦。起床后,去餐厅吃免费早餐,稀饭、馒头、咸菜,挺对胃口。自己冲了一杯从国内带过去的牛奶。又泡了一杯六安瓜片(无论到哪儿,我都带茶叶,这是我旅行中唯一的腐败,吃的倒不讲究),消消停停滴享受休闲时光。凤凰宾馆是加都中国人开的宾馆中名气最大的,老板姓江,老板娘姓龚,四川人。在加都几天,我没见到老板,都是老板娘龚姐在打理。我人品好,龚姐对我关照有加。那天傍晚,向日葵色板官方一行人到达之后,他们到前台问询,被告知木有房间了。我找了个凳子,低头记旅行日记。待他们走远,我上前询问,向日葵视频色板APP官网员看一眼龚姐,龚姐说:“有。给他安排东楼206”。哗,东楼206是个带阳台的大房间,同样700卢比,比其他房间好得多。谢谢龚姐。我决心在未来的几天里都在中餐厅消费,给您老人家架相。后来我要办尼泊尔CM卡,龚姐给我复印护照;我要加都地图,龚姐给我拿。都是免费的。今天我要去猴庙。猴庙就在加都边上,打车200卢比。下车就有小盆友过来主动兜揽生意,当小导游。我知道这是要小费的,不过看那小盆友聪明伶俐,乐得让他挽着我上山。那小盆友的名字很长,我也记不住,我就叫他“机灵”。机灵一路用英语给我讲解,我90%都听不懂。不过他给我照相,镜头感出奇的好,比后来我遇到的那些驴友好多了。售票处在半山腰,票价200卢比。买门票的时候,我给他300卢比,对他说:“One hundred, give you .”他不要,最后要了我5块钱人民币,加40卢比,合110卢比。这家伙挺会算计的哈。回程我是自己走回来的,但走着走着迷路了。我一路问路。“Ilostmyway ,pleasetellmethedirection to Thamel .” 加都街边的小贩,有的会几句英语,有的不会,好不容易遇到一个三轮车夫,英语讲得叽哩嘎啦的,可是俺听不懂。我估计,我听力差占30%,他口语不行占70%。我想给泡了茶叶的户外保温壶灌一点热水,跟一个咖啡店的姑娘比划了半天,她似乎听懂了,跑到自来水龙头前给我满满灌了一壶自来水。尼泊尔的生水不能喝,喝了要拉肚,我走到街角就倒掉了。可惜了我的好茶叶。我走走停停,忽然一阵内急,就去问一个卖羊毛披肩的小老板:“Wherearethetoilet ? ”他说:“Walk ,walk , up , second, left.”我照他说的:走,走,上去,二楼,左拐…擦,二楼封死了,根本上不去。回头跟他说,他不信,带我去,果然上不去。我那个急啊。后来他跟对面一个商店的老板说了,那老板让我在他店里的厕所解了燃眉之急。尼泊尔人真好啊,我连说几遍thankyouverymuch 。不知谁说的:不会外语,又不会死人。死人倒是不会,但是不方便啊,能把人憋疯。因为外语不好,当晚我还出了一个糗。晚上我到小店买洗发精,我比划着洗头的动作,女老板很快明白了,给我拿了四袋,便宜,一共才10卢比。洗头的时候我还奇怪怎么尼泊尔的洗发精不起泡沫呢,第二天戴上帽子,发觉帽子内圈一层油。请教懂行的人,才知道袋子里是头油。卧槽!话说回来,我外语很差,可是我很勇敢。我一路问路,突然眼前一亮——成片的庙宇豁然展现在我的眼前。原来我误闯到加都著名的杜巴广场来了。这不正是我计划中要重点游览的吗?我也不知道哪个是活女神庙,哪个是供湿婆罗的神殿,就那样边看边拍,在里面流连了几个小时。猴庙。我和小导游“机灵”庙里的女孩上猴庙山时遇到的中国妹纸,笑容干净灿烂。她在跟小贩砍价。 猴庙是俯瞰加都的最佳观景台,在这里,老外占99.5%,中国人只占0.5%。中午吃的就是这个,我叫它尼泊尔虾球、咖喱扁豆汤猴庙。鸽子与游客。猴庙,化缘的僧人混在尼泊尔(第三天)2012年10月13日晴巴德岗 色情木雕的大观园 昨晚,在酒店大堂里看见一个用手提电脑上网发博客的老小伙儿,聊了几句以后,才知道他就是大名鼎鼎的户外老驴、色驴“行摄匆匆”,人称“葱头”。好多到尼泊尔旅行的人都是看着他的帖子设计旅行线路的。我提议一起出去吃尼餐,和葱头一起从EBC徒步回来的美女说:“你如果打算未来几天去博卡拉徒步,现在就不要吃尼餐,因为徒步时天天吃尼餐,叫你吃得够够的。现在要抓紧时间吃中餐。”后来我和葱头在龚姐的中餐厅里喝酒(喝25块钱一瓶的劲酒,国内才卖10块),相谈甚欢。他给我介绍了很多布恩山徒步注意事项,对我几天后顺利走完小环线起到了大作用。昨天我独行迷路,深感自己外语不过关,于是决定跟着外语好的人在一起混,能混一天是一天。正愁没人捡我呢,早餐时邻桌一对小夫妻过来问我:“大哥今天去哪儿?”我说想去烧尸庙。他们问:“巴德岗去不去?要去向日葵色板官方拼一个车。”我说好啊。就这样被来自上海的大李、小雷夫妻俩捡了。他们俩一个在外企工作,一个在上海电视台外语频道当制片人,英语说得港港的。我正困着呢,枕头就来了,要不怎么说咱人品好涅。出旅馆的门又遇到三个中国人,也是去巴德岗,于是6个人打了两辆车,每人车费200,门票100。进了巴德岗景区大门,几个人就分头玩了,临走照了一张合影。一起到巴德岗的6个人古时候,尼泊尔有三个鼎足的国家:加都、巴德岗和帕坦,这三个国家的皇宫都在加德满都谷地里,相距不远。相比加都,巴德岗更加安适休闲,没有乱糟糟的行人吵嚷,也很少有呼啸的摩托车横冲直撞。我在巴德岗的杜巴广场慢慢欣赏,品味,有时候索性坐在咖啡馆门前喝喝茶,看人来人往。后来,我信步走入寻常巷陌,看尼泊尔妇女井台汲水,看孩童巷子里顽皮,看老人庙里沉思,感觉渐渐融入了尼泊尔的市井生活。纳加阔特,屋顶拍夕照,我和大李小雷大庙梁上的色情木雕。这里过去是皇宫,说明皇家贵族多糜烂。尼泊尔人民群众其实是非常保守的,他们把生殖崇拜放在心里。巴德岗。杜巴广场的美女。巴德岗的小巷里。井台。顽童老人不愿和我合影,嫌我不够帅街头,送momo的孩子我在一家店里吃momo(尼泊尔传统美食)其实就和包子差不多,多一盆咖喱汤巴德岗晒谷场 大李小雷的计划是今晚住巴德岗,因为巴德岗有很多幽静而有特色的guest house (客栈),中古的氛围浓厚。而我的行程是看完巴德岗就去纳加阔特,住在纳加阔特山顶客栈,早上一边在床上吃早餐,一边推开窗户看连绵起伏的雪山。玩到下午3点,大李小雷给我打电话,说受到我的蛊惑,要和我一起去纳加阔特,于是我又跟他们混到了纳加阔特(打的,700卢比,三人AA)。纳加阔特 向日葵色板官方住的“新大象头旅馆”混在尼泊尔(第四天)2012年10月14日晴 Local bus 的拉风之旅 从巴德岗到纳加阔特山顶,必须打的。因为巴士只到山腰,走上去还挺费劲。打的到山顶最高的那家宾馆,我刚把摄影包放到沙发上歇口气,大李就挥手叫我们outside。原来是没房间了,看来这里房间还怪紧俏的。到了另一家,叫新大象头宾馆,有房间,两个间要50美金。大李跟boy叽哩嘎啦一通神侃,boy同意降到45美金。得,能住下就幸运,赶紧进房。后来我问小雷:你的英语也不怎么样吧,不然我怎么光看到大李在说话?他们俩相视一笑。大李说:“哥哥你有所不知,小雷这是锻炼我呢。她是电视台英语频道的记者,比我英语强得多。”原来这样啊。放下行李,洗把脸,出门到另一家宾馆的楼顶平台上拍晚霞。说实话,晚霞很一般,但山谷里的景色很美,拍摄的过程很有意思。我后来在布恩山徒步时看到的雪山远比在纳加阔特看到的大,但是在这儿我和大李小雷相处的过程是愉快的。向日葵色板官方萍水相逢,却亲切友善,互无芥蒂,很能谈得来。我还邀请小雷到淮南采访非遗火老虎呢。小雷爽快地答应了。晚饭是在二楼平台吃的,微风习习,令人神清气爽,我要了一个鸡肉炒面,一杯黑咖啡,和二人边吃边聊。我们谈了对尼泊尔和加都的观感。大李说,加都就像向日葵色板官方内地上个世纪70年代的小县城,又脏又乱,但是比县城大得多。小雷说,虽然城市不咋地,但是尼泊尔人民很友善,很温和,从来没有看到谁朝游客瞪眼睛,这样好的人民打着灯笼都难找。我说,为什么好多中国人把尼泊尔旅游作为出国旅行的first?一是因为尼泊尔从来不拒;二是因为尼泊尔消费低,来一趟不需要多少银子,你到美国旅行,每天花大把大把的美元,心里那个疼啊,快乐的感觉就被腰斩了;三是尼泊尔有最好、最成熟的徒步路线;四是尼泊尔人民温善友好,这是保证一路好心情的必要条件之一。大李问:“哥哥,如果有两个国家,一个是现代化的,比如美国,一个是落后但淳朴的,比如尼泊尔,你会选择在哪儿居住?”我说,富裕文明永远比落后蛮荒要好,尽管后者看起来返璞归真。原始社会最生态、最淳朴,有几个人想回到那样的生活呢?这顿饭,我学到了米饭叫rice,面条叫noodles,炒面叫fry noodles 。我很笨,可是我不拒绝学习,我利用各种机会不断丰富我的英语词汇,期待单飞的那一天。晚上,上不去wifi。我很寂寞。盆友们,我好想念你们。怀念被儿子拿走的那个屁股手机,那东西就是好,随时能抢到wifi。洗洗睡。一梦到早晨5点半,大李来喊我去拍日出。站在观景台上,面前是连绵起伏的雪山,安纳普纳,郎当,希夏邦马。但是离得很远,不是很清楚。吃早餐的时候,大李小雷说他们要徒步去昌古拉扬神庙,不急着回加都。我得一个人下山了。我说我去坐local bus (当地巴士),我要坐车顶。这时旁边位子上一群中国人中的一个小美女冒出了一句:“我也想坐local bus,我也想坐车顶。”瞧瞧,瞧瞧,我又被捡了。美女叫小林,北京人(呵呵,又是姓林的,又是北京人)。吃过饭,向日葵色板官方下山到巴士站,大李小雷因为要乘车到teikot,从teikot开始徒步,就陪向日葵色板官方坐一程。到了车站,小林跟驾驶员说向日葵色板官方要坐车顶,驾驶员说这段路太险,不行。我怏怏上车。到了teikot,大李小雷要下去徒步,小林说她也去徒步,我突然感到很无助,在开车的那个瞬间,一个箭步窜下去,加入到他们的徒步行列。后来我跟大李说,咱们还是有缘啊,你想甩都没甩掉我。大李说,你看到美女就想甩向日葵色板官方,结果还是被向日葵色板官方黏上了。向日葵色板官方捶胸揽肩,开怀大笑。徒步到昌古拉扬,2小时,强度极小,一路观尽加德满都山谷美景,在此不表。从昌古拉扬神庙回加都,我终于如愿以偿坐上了车顶。看到我兴高采烈攀上车顶了,大李心里痒痒得难受,在征得夫人同意后,和我一起猴攀到车顶拉风。哈哈!车顶上风好大,电线和树枝从头皮飕飕掠过,一不留神就会被“斩首”。车子歪歪倒倒,晃里晃荡,把向日葵色板官方紧张得手心出汗。北京小林,一路唧唧歪歪这疼那疼的小女子,关键时刻掉链子了,说感冒了,不能坐车顶。说实话,她也不适合坐车顶,太危险了。没有人提醒你注意电线什么的,安全全靠自己掌控。看当地人上下自如,如履平地,向日葵色板官方自叹弗如。一直到加都郊区,快见到警察岗亭了,向日葵色板官方才下来。 纳加阔特日出 晨曦中的纳加阔特山顶第一次坐local bus,我和尼泊尔小女孩站在一起徒步途中昌古拉扬神庙大殿,据说大门是镶金的巴士上,我和邻座的日本姐姐,她说她刚从珠峰东北坡徒步归来终于坐了回车顶,有点小紧张哎 混在尼泊尔(第五、六天) 2012年10月15、16日晴在费瓦湖上空飞翔:walk, walk…run ! 来博卡拉之前,我就打算留一点时间在费瓦湖发呆。我得思考一些问。不然就这样乐呵呵地傻玩,有点太浮躁了。思考于我,就像呼吸,停滞意味着死亡。那天清晨,我真的在费瓦湖边上坐了2个小时。湖水静静的,蓝的像是上帝留在人间的一块蓝宝石。谁也不认识我,没人来打搅我。在湖边的草地上,露水打湿了我的肩头和屁屁,我想了很多很多。我为什么出来旅行?就是来寻找快乐的吗?是,好像又不完全是。静下心来分析,在深沉的意识里,我其实是出来寻找两个坐:我在这个世界的坐,中华文化在这个世界的坐。出门旅行,我习惯带着地图——我得弄清我所在的位置,我未来要走向哪里。人生也是一次旅行,我也要清楚自己身在何处,意向何方?上帝派我来,让我受了这么多磨难,到底是要我干什么的?为了弄清楚这些,我得作一些比较——我要看看别的人是怎样生活的,看看落后国家的人怎样生活,也看看发达国家的人怎样生活。以此反照自己:我这样子生活是对的吗,我是否在浪费生命,我该在人生观、世界观、价值观上作哪些调整?我也在观察别国的文化,先进的,落后的,生机勃勃的,死水一潭的……我拿他们和中华文化相比较,明确中华文化的地位,预测中华文化的走向,并按照自己的意志对她的走向进行干预。尽管这种干预微不足道,但我心里要保持清醒,决不能活得含含糊糊,不明不白。我不是一个极限运动的挑战者,也不是一个探险家,我只是在寻找。因此我不做在死亡边缘走钢丝的游戏。我出来时,老娘交代又交代:我支持你旅行,但你不要冒险。你要知道,对于这个世界来说,你个人微不足道,但是对于向日葵色板官方家来说,你就是一切。我有过在死亡边缘挣扎的体验,那是一种“活着就好,其它神马都是浮云”的彻悟,那种感受我没有忘记,毋需再次体味。我谨记着老娘的叮咛,时时注意安全。从西藏开始,我不断遇到旅行牛人,有的从4月份就出来了,一直在印度、尼泊尔、西藏地区游荡。我好生羡慕。照我现在的节奏,一年才走2个国家,何年何月才能把这个世界走完?我好想一年有11.5个月在外面旅行啊。但我知道,我做不到这样。我有家,有爱,有欧派,不是无根的浮萍,随风飘荡。真正的流浪者,其实是不幸的,因为没有人牵挂,因为总会有倦鸟思归的时候,归来却空空的行囊。我还是做一个边工作边旅行的人吧,儿子、丈夫、父亲,领导、朋友、下属,这些角色我都要演好,“一个都不能少”。书归正传。15日离开加都,我坐了9个小时的tourest bus(观光巴士)到博卡拉。车票是在凤凰宾馆前台订的,550卢比。那天清晨,boy带向日葵色板官方走了8分钟街路来到巴士车站,走在我旁边的是个一声不吭的精壮汉子,他就是一句外语不会也敢闯天下的辽宁老李。从这天起,哥哥我开始捡人了。在车上,老李坐在我旁边,和我叙了一路。据他说,他是辽宁一个市的公务员,单位二把手。过去,因为天天接送女儿上学,在家宅了好多年。去年,女儿上大学走了,他才抽出时间出去玩儿,先是学摄影,后来又爱上了登山徒步。他的梦想,是今年走ABC,明年走EBC,后年再走一个比EBC更大的环线。呵呵,老李跟尼泊尔雪山较上劲了。搞笑的老李,把QQ说成“球球”,把奥迪Q5说成是“四环求5”。更让人大跌眼镜的是,他居然一句外语不会讲就闯荡到尼泊尔来了。不过老李的攻略做得很细,第一天到哪儿,第二天到哪儿,背夫在哪儿找,小费一般给多少,他都门儿清。来之前,他就在“球球”上和博卡拉中国旅馆的女老板燕子联系好了,来了就住“燕巢”,我还是他推荐到燕巢的呢。不过,不会外语,一路上吃饭、上厕所确实不方便。该哥哥我大显身手了。经过几天的磨练,我已经有了不小的进步,这一路,老李点菜、入厕、买饮料、抽烟借火,都是我罩着。车到山前必有路,平时记不清的单词、句式什么的,真到用的时候,自然而然就从嘴里迸出来,我自己都觉得惊奇。我慢慢有了信心。要知道,在尼泊尔,外语为王。那些外语好的小米女、小蟀锅,你不知道有多牛气,我这个教授级人物,在他们面前哪里还有师道尊严?现在,我渐渐找到了感觉,原来大大的舌头,现在赶了个时髦,变得卷卷的了;原来磕磕巴巴,欲说还休,现在变连贯了;原来是说单词,现在可以说短句了。我在进步。在“燕巢”入住之后,老李陪我上街找滑翔公司问价。沿着费瓦湖岸,一排溜有很多家旅行社,有的可以办理徒步,有的经营滑翔、漂流。我俩问了几家,用简单外语跟人家交流,居然把什么都弄得清清楚楚。从滑翔公司出门,我俩不禁哈哈大笑。成,咱打通了任督二脉,到了可以自由行的境界了。晚上,我和老李到中国人开的兰花饭店喝酒。老李第二天要上雪山,吃了很多肉。吃过饭,老李在宾馆阳台遇到一个叫娟子的浙江女驴,听说她也上布恩山徒步,带来见我。这个娟子,不是个凡角,她每年有6个月在外面旅行。人家旅行,从来不花钱买车票,一路搭车,军车、警车、拖拉机,什么都搭过。在西藏当雄,她搭了一辆藏族人的拖拉机去纳木错,一下子深入到藏区原始村落腹地,走不出来了,在人家家里白吃白住耗了4天,而且没有被侵犯。她在国际交友网上交了一个德国男友,那德国人要“嫁”到中国,而她想去德国,两人正僵持着。论英语单词,她记得比我多,论句子,我稍强一筹。我就把她捡了。我的滑翔安排在16日的中午12点。滑翔的价格是5000卢比,照片、录像光盘是1700卢比,可要可不要,我选择了要。一辆大吉普拉了5个人到萨朗科山上,那坡上已经有好多人在准备滑翔了。我的教练是捷克布拉格人,他给向日葵色板官方讲解注意事项,我基本听懂了:贵重物品放在屁股底下的滑翔袋里,不要蹲,不要跳,walk ,walk ,run ……fly !(走,走,跑……飞!)第一次起飞失败,第二次起飞成功。捷克教练带着我在空中飞了26分钟。向日葵色板官方盘旋上升,又盘旋下降,看尽费瓦湖和博卡拉风光。这是我首次这么深切地体味飞翔的滋味,那是一种脱离红尘看红尘的感觉。那一刻,我身上散尽了厨房的油烟味,不再凡俗,不再庸碌,而是像一个浪漫的王子,正在经历童话。这个过程虽然短暂,仅仅26分钟,但我已满足。原来,生活还有另一种感觉,值得向日葵色板官方去追求,去期待。为此而付出努力是值得的。飞翔仅仅26分钟,但感觉终身难忘捷克教练在讲解起飞要领有人起飞了降落后,教练在收伞早上,我送别辽宁老李,他要去ABC(安纳普纳环线)徒步宁静的费瓦湖费瓦湖上湖边的尼泊尔美少女湖心岛上,我和僧人祈福的少女来博卡拉的路上,向日葵色板官方就吃这样的食物混在尼泊尔(第七到第十天)2012年10月17日—20日那谁,你娘喊你参加全球美女帅哥大Party!——布恩山徒步琐记 尼泊尔拥有全世界最好的徒步线路,路上风景美,设施完备,毋需重装穿越。到尼泊尔不去徒步,真的是一种遗憾。因为时间限制,我不能去ABC(安纳普纳环线,9天),更不能去EBC(珠峰大本营环线,18天),我只能选择时间稍短的poon hill环线(布恩山,4天)。不管是哪一种徒步,都要办进山证和劳务证。进山证是国家公园保护区的门票,劳务证是使用背夫的许可。如果你不使用背夫,也要办理劳务证(20美金),使用背夫则只需要10美金,尼泊尔政府以此鼓励你雇用背夫。在博卡拉,自己去保护区办公室办理两证,需要2900卢比(在使用背夫的情况下),宾馆帮你办理,需要3100卢比。我懒得费事,就让宾馆办理了。多出200卢比,也就是10来块钱的事。宾馆给我找的背夫叫“谷卖得”,是个24岁的当地青年,会说简单的英语,也会几句汉语,如:哥哥,累不累?冷不冷?好吃吗?等等。我自己背着摄影包,把三脚架、衣服、纯净水、从国内带的一点食品让他背,一天给1000卢比工钱。政府规定,走小环线的背夫,背包不能重于20公斤,我的只有11公斤,比我自己身上的摄影包重不了多少。早上,我在燕巢慢悠悠地吃了早餐:两片烤的焦焦的吐司,两个煎蛋,一根香蕉,一杯牛奶咖啡,才160卢比,很好。boy给我叫了一辆的士,说好1500卢比到徒步的起点南崖瀑(nayapul)。娟子和我一起走,但她说自己钱包瘪,只搭车,不出钱,我也不好意思说你不出钱就别坐。有个香港男孩丁丁,昨晚说好要跟我一起去徒步,后来看到一个小美女,就把我pass了。说到丁丁,我得多说两句。这家伙已经31岁了,还跟个小孩儿一样,走哪儿都抱着一个布娃娃小驴,说是他的吉祥物。可笑的是,见到漂亮姑娘,他就要上去搭讪,屁颠屁颠地给人家买啤酒、买牛奶,要求跟人家一起玩。这两天,滑翔、划船我都带着他,但他一搭上美女,立马不理我了。我看他不是来旅行的,就是来追女仔的。这也是旅途中的一类人吧。第一天,徒步6个小时,强度不大,途中景色一般,晚上住在乌勒瑞(Ulleri)。这一天,我和一对韩国情侣,哥伦比亚“微笑姐”琳达,还有娟子,结伴行走。尼泊尔徒步,每过1个小时,甚至半个小时,就有一个休息站,可以吃饭、买水、住宿。那建筑五颜六色的,在绿色的山谷里格外醒目,看起来很美。住宿一般很便宜,150到200卢比一间,合人民币十几块钱。床很小,没有电视,也没有wifi。一路上,背夫的住宿、伙食由客栈免费提供,但客人必须消费。客人不消费,背夫就没得饭吃。琳达中午不吃饭,但考虑背夫要吃,只好要了一份尼餐,自己喝蔬菜汤,主食给背夫吃。琳达是个可爱的姑娘,苗条的身材,长长的腿,永远都是一副笑模样。在乌勒瑞住下,我先去洗澡,再去吃饭。那里有简易的公共洗澡间,可免费洗澡。水不太热,勉强可洗。但是喝的开水是收费的,一玻璃杯20卢比, 1升60卢比。我喝水厉害,一早一晚消费了180卢比。几个老外带着气罐上来,自己煮开水,省了开水钱。到达休息点。每个休息点都是一个景点。我问她:昨天在费瓦湖划船的是你吗?她说:不是,我哪儿都没去,我家就住在后面。左起:“微笑姐”琳达、琳达的背夫、娟子、我早上,坐在乌勒瑞旅馆的阳台上用膳,山谷里布满阳光徒步路上第二天,徒步5个小时,景色一般,不如川西。中午1点就到了计划中的住宿点格拉帕尼(Ghorepani)。这是布恩山最高峰下的小村庄,住在这里是为了早晨冲顶看雪山日出。这一路,我跟法国老帅哥帕瑞一起走,那老兄体力真好,中途很少休息。他说他自己有一个养牛场,我估计他牛肉吃得多。我的背夫谷卖得不像昨天那样紧紧跟着我,而是粘在娟子屁股后面,跟她套瓷。到达格拉帕尼之后,我睡了一觉,醒来推开旅馆的窗户就看到了雪山。我和帕瑞、一个德国帅哥、娟子在旅馆门口的观景平台上度过了黄昏时光,喝茶聊天。看得出,那个扎着马尾巴的高大的德国人很喜欢娟子,约好明天跟他一起走。娟子是中国人认为长相一般而老外特别喜欢的那种人,外国人和中国人审美观就是不同。晚上吃饭时,谷卖得凑过来说话。在一本尼泊尔杂志上,谷卖得画了一个一箭穿心的图案,旁边写了一行英文:Ilove you,然后给娟子看。这家伙,想找娟子一夜情呢。燕巢的女老板燕子,就是在尼泊尔徒步时遇到他现在的丈夫的,当时他是她的背夫兼向导。两人产生了感情,燕子就嫁到尼泊尔来了。谷卖得难道想照单复制?娟子笑笑,把杂志推给我看,我在下面写了一行字:You can take her to your home,but please give me money first(你可以带她回屋,但请先给我钱) ,给谷卖得看。那家伙看完就讪讪地走了。一个背夫,太花心了。我本来在徒步结束的时候想给他1000块钱小费的,但因为这件事,我只给他200块钱。太不敬业鸟。日照雪山。所有美的要素——云彩、雪山、晨曦、人群,很难凑到一张照片上,很遗憾。徒步路上看到的鱼尾峰即将起跳的盟态。我说过的:你要快乐你就跳。布恩山顶征途塔嗒帕尼,一个很美的住宿点,我越过了神秘的安纳普纳峰我和法国老帅哥帕瑞 第三天,是强度最大的一天,徒步10个小时;也是风景最美的一天,看到了雪山日出和世外桃源。早上4点15就起床了,爬了40分钟的山,上到布恩山顶看日出。天很冷,我穿上了羽绒衣。谷卖得在前面带路,空着两只手。走了差不多有20分钟,我一想,不对呀,凭神马我背着沉重的摄影包而他空着手呢,谁是谁的背夫呀?我说:“谷卖得.”他说“嗯”。我说“Please help me ,”他这才把摄影包接过去。日出很壮观,日照金山很美,这些有照片为证,我就不赘言了。山顶人很多,世界各国的都有,简直就是全球米女蟀锅的大Party。在山顶,我遇到了一个也在燕巢住宿的姑娘。我问:“跟你一起的丁丁呢?他不是要和你徒步的吗?”姑娘说:“那小孩儿太不靠谱了,见到更漂亮的美女就把我放单了。”呵呵,搞笑。第三天的徒步开始下行了,但中间也有几次上坡。网上有人说,布恩山徒步很轻松,老头老太太穿着人字拖就上去了,纯属谎言。那路根本就是原始的砍柴小道,拖鞋在这儿是没有办法行走的。感谢淮南三毛户外运动俱乐部,我在那儿团购的高帮防水登山鞋在布恩山发挥了大作用,我如履平地,视石如灰,走得很科学、很舒服。(在这儿,我也得批评一下南京自由兵户外,我在那儿网购的2升登山水袋,在前往西藏纳木错的路上漏水了,导致我一路屁屁坐在潮垫子上。幸亏我人品好,相机没被水淹)。话说没走几步,娟子说她胃痛。我说我这里有热水,你喝点吧,不过你得找个杯子。但是这荒山野岭,哪里有杯子呢?无奈,娟子就着我的水壶喝了。但是……但是我看见她把喝到嘴里的茶叶又吐了回去。我狠狠地皱了一下眉头。后来…..后来我磨磨蹭蹭在后面拍片子,渐渐和她拉远了距离,以后再没有见到她。下午6点,我到达世外桃源甘杜克(Ghandruk),住进了甘杜克的安纳普纳旅馆。这是我四天中住的最好、最贵的旅馆,500卢比一晚,有卫生间和淋浴。但洗澡水基本不热,我洗了个冷水浴。到达时天就黑了,没来及观景。早晨一起床,哗,窗外就是鲜花和雪山,赶紧的,提着相机去拍照。这是一个建在山坡上的小村庄,原汁原味的尼泊尔风情,石头房子,碎石路,房前屋后种满了鲜花,村民纯朴而友好。我冒昧地到人家家里家访,没有受到拒绝,拍了好多有意思的照片。甘杜克,我住的旅馆在旅馆里吃早餐尼泊尔美少妇 “孩子们,咱们玩个老鹰捉小鸡好吗?”在人家炕头上拍滴第四天,徒步4小时回到南崖瀑,坐local bus 回博卡拉。不表。混在尼泊尔(第十一、十二天)2012年10月21、22日 捡个美女去漂流 回到博卡拉,我馋了,想吃中餐想吃肉。布恩山徒步四天,吃了四天尼餐,顿顿土豆咖喱米饭,把我吃腻了。最后一天中午,实在不想吃尼餐,就点了一个意大利面,一个巧克力布丁,但是貌似木有吃饱。所以回来那天晚上,我在兰花餐厅,点了三个菜:一个铁板牛肉,一个炒蔬杂,一个蒜蓉拌黄瓜,还有一个西红柿鸡蛋汤,一小瓶虎跑泉白酒,全部扫光见底。吃饭前,我在宾馆前台交了2200卢比,订了漂流回加都的联程票。吃完饭,我在庭院里上wifi,听到几个人叽哩嘎啦讲着英语进来了,坐在我邻桌。在中国人的旅店里讲英语,我猜这些是日本人,因为这个旅店还是有一小部分非中国住客。我没抬头,继续在微博上发消息。过了一会,一个女的用中文说:“对面那个淡定哥,看手机看得好专心哦,不搭理我们哦。”啊?原来是中国人啊。既然是中国人,咱不能不理啊,于是就聊了一会。说话的女的有三十三、四岁,蒙古人,在中国外交部下属的一个分支机构工作。坐在她对面的是大连姑娘李曼,两人也是在博卡拉认识的,一起玩了几天。那个李曼,她不去徒步,也不去探洞,就每天坐在费瓦湖边晒太阳,发呆。谁谁去劝她去徒步,她都微笑摇头。她“不羡鸳鸯不羡仙,只羡山茶开湖边”,人称“淡定姐”。听说我明儿漂流回加都,“淡定姐”高兴地拍起手来:“哈哈,我运气怎么这么好啊,一路遇到大哥大姐照顾。明儿漂流我不怕啦,我不会游泳啊。”蒙古姐姐郑重地交代:“这是我路上遇到的好妹妹,她娇气,您一定照顾好她。”我说您放心吧,照顾美女我会用心的。21号早上7点半,向日葵色板官方出发,乘坐一辆tourest bus往加都方向走。10点40到达一个小镇,在路边的漂流公司换装备。正在这时,来了两个骑自行车的中国人,老姜和小卢。他们一个从西藏骑过来,一个从缅甸金三角骑过来,都晒得黢黑。向日葵色板官方四个和两个塞尔维亚胖大姐及他们的导游一起漂流。尼泊尔漂流,不似向日葵色板官方中国漂流平和,那真的是一个险滩接一个险滩。浪高时把向日葵色板官方送上云天,峰低时把向日葵色板官方摔入谷底,全身没一处干纱。教练指挥着向日葵色板官方,时而急流重桨,时而借势轻漂。滩平处,向日葵色板官方四个和两个塞尔维亚胖姐姐赛歌,一首接一首。两个胖姐姐高兴极了,时不时开怀大笑,笑得山谷朗朗回响。向日葵色板官方的情绪也受到感染,扑扑腾腾跟着教练翻到水里去游泳。三位女士不想下水,都被教练强拉入水,全部湿身……。可惜相机不允许带到橡皮舟上,没有留下惊险刺激而又快乐的镜头。李曼 得瑟一下整装待发 漂流3个半小时(中间上岸在树林子里吃了一顿尼泊尔午餐),向日葵色板官方和老姜、小卢告别,上车继续往加都进发。天渐暗,风凉了,向日葵色板官方全身潮透透,坐在靠车门的位置,好冷。我把摄影包的防雨罩拿给李曼盖上,她还是冷。衣服都放在车尾的行李箱里了。“淡定姐”这时候不淡定了,抖抖索索地让售票员停车,售票员光答应就是不跟司机说。看李曼冷得不行,酱紫下去会生病的,我走到司机边上说话了:“Driver,please stay a little time ,my friend fill cold,very cold .We need to take the closh .”(司机,请停一小下,我的朋友冷了,很冷。向日葵色板官方需要拿衣服。)司机听了,赶紧停车。我们穿上厚衣服,气定神闲到了加都。我仍然住在凤凰宾馆东楼206,这是事先打电话给龚姐订的。早上起来,我知道,这是我在尼泊尔的最后一天了,我还有一个烧尸庙没看,决定上午去看烧尸庙。神佑我,在出行的这么多天里,我木有感冒,木有拉肚,木有高反。每天晚上倒头就睡,一夜不做梦,不上厕所,早上6点准时醒,睁开眼就感到神清气爽、精力充沛。我觉得自己还行,还能走很多地方。但愿最后一天功德圆满。烧尸庙在加都边上,和猴庙正好反方向。我决定坐“卢谷乐”去。“卢谷乐”就是向日葵色板官方所说的“拐的”,带蓬的载人机动三轮,很便宜。出了旅馆门,我就问哪里有卢谷乐,一路问一路走。拐进特米尔区的一个小巷子里,一个司机让我上他的小面包。我说:“From here to Pashupatinath temple,how much ?(从这里到烧尸庙,多少钱?)”他伸出了3个指头:“Three hundred ”(三百)。我说:“It seems a little higher .One hundred,ok?”(看起来有点高了。一百,可以吗?)“No,no.”我这边正在跟司机砍价,对面来了两个中国姑娘,说:大哥你要去哪里?我说我去烧尸庙,我想坐卢谷乐去。她们问,坐卢谷乐多少钱?我说,20卢比吧。一个带牙套的姑娘说,那我也去。就这样,我把小聪捡了。走了几步,迎面遇到小聪认识的两个男青年,他们听了向日葵色板官方的计划,也要跟向日葵色板官方走。这样,我又把小孙、小马捡了。四个人乘卢谷乐到了烧尸庙。攻略上说,烧尸庙是印度教神庙,非印度教徒是不给进的,只能隔河相望。但是现在开始卖门票了,买了门票好多地方就能进了。门票500卢比。我和胖小孙买票进去了,小聪和瘦小马不愿意花钱,在门外跟保安套瓷,后来没要票也进来了。据说,小聪是用一个飞吻打倒了保安,小马跟着沾光了。看完烧尸庙,向日葵色板官方四个又去了附近的博纳佛塔,又是我和小孙买票,他们俩逃票。一上午就这样过去了。烧尸庙死者的长子点燃火种我和胖小孙、瘦小马、女小聪同游烧尸庙庙里,吹笛子的修行者下午,李曼陪我上街买伴手礼。进入尼泊尔之后,我换了2500块钱,加上在樟木换的1000块钱,我已经花了近3500块钱(人民币)。兜里的卢比不多了,我从前台又换了500块钱。这样子够我买礼品和明儿打的到机场了。13天,4000块钱,这样的消费太便宜啦。李曼是个可爱的姑娘。其实她是沈阳人,东北大学毕业后,在大连开了一家自己的公司,做高校后勤部门的生意。我在写这篇游记的时候,她正从网上给我传照片。我说我要把你写在游记里。她说你不如给我介绍个优秀的男孩吧,我29了,到了找男盆友的时候了。你那边有优秀的男孩,我不介意到淮南安家。我说我记下了,会给你上心。(弟弟们,谁有意就跟我联系啊。)晚上,和李曼、小孙、小马一起吃饭。吃完饭,上街溜达一圈,回来上楼睡觉。进了门,我打了一个大大的哈欠,这才发现,我累了,想家了——想念夫人温存的目光,想念儿子干净的微笑。我在思念中入梦。 (全文完) 李曼说我给她发的照片有点小了,又发来几张照片。我现在贴上去。优秀而强壮的尚在单身的弟弟们,睁开你的慧眼吧,看看清楚哦,一点不掺假的有文化、有事业而又温柔可爱的美女。后记:应筒子们的要求,我晒一下尼泊尔之行的账单—— 总共花费3500元 (不含回程机票)。其中吃800元,住600元,在尼泊尔交通400元,其余为门票、进山证、滑翔、漂流等费用。

我与好玩就行,大牦牛三人结束了尼泊尔14天的旅行,包车进入印度。 小小的边检站,一不小心就过去了。走了一段,感觉有点不对。好玩就行去打听了一下,才知道,向日葵色板官方已经走过了!赶快回头,要不被发现,把向日葵色板官方当偷越国境可就麻烦了,这可是在印度啊。 返回来才看见这个地方。 在办理入境手续时,检查人员拿着向日葵色板官方的相机翻来覆去的看了好一会,看得向日葵色板官方有点紧张,担心他们刁难。看看他们的表情是乎又不像。不一会才知道,他们还没有见过向日葵色板官方这一类相机,觉得新鲜.好奇。 又过了一会,他们其中一人,拉着我的同伴到一边,轻轻说了一下,哦!是要小费。最后向日葵色板官方一人给了一美元,顺利放行。 进到印度,第一感觉就是,大街上悠闲走的牛。牠们慢慢吞吞,优哉游哉地到处走,没有一个人理会牠们。 此刻。已经感到肚子饿了,进了路边一家小食店,看到这一排很没有看样的食品与环境,食欲大减。 店老板往锅里放一些向日葵色板官方也不知道的调料 当地人对向日葵色板官方到来的好奇,一切都写在脸上。想想也是,就他们见多识广的边防检查人员都对向日葵色板官方好奇,别说他们了...... 奶茶 向日葵色板官方要驾驶员帮找一处恒河边上的旅馆。所以,他就把向日葵色板官方带到这个地方。 穿过了几个小巷道,突然一片鲜艳的色块跳入眼帘,定眼一看,哇!一群有说有笑的妇人坐在那里乘凉。顿时这个脏乱的小巷明亮起来。 驾驶员把向日葵色板官方带到一家看似还可以的旅馆。办完手续走进去,慢慢觉得有点不对劲。四层楼的房子,空空荡荡,看不到一个人。走进房间,老板指着窗子告诉向日葵色板官方,下面就是恒河。我看窗子紧紧关着,打开窗子,看到下面.......这...这...就是恒河! 沿着河边往岸上看,啊.....我要晕了,下面一堆堆正在烧的.....那不是我在尼泊尔见到的烧尸吗!离向日葵色板官方那么近,就在向日葵色板官方楼下。虽然我见到过这样的场景,在藏区近距离地拍过天葬,但此时的感觉非常不好。下面烧尸的嚓嚓声,清清楚楚的就在你面前响,晚上怎么睡觉!!! 正在烧尸的火堆。 死者的亲人在江中祈祷 晚上,楼下更加热闹了。烧尸的火烟,往向日葵色板官方窗子钻,向日葵色板官方只有紧紧关着窗子,走上楼顶观看。好玩就行这家伙还喝着啤酒,一边喝,一边看,他倒是挺淡定的。 我数了下面的火堆,一共十堆。 火焰慢慢散去,喧闹的恒河平静下来了。 我睡在床上,心,怎么也平静不下来。楼下的情景总是在眼前晃来晃去,总感觉自己就睡在火堆旁边....... 最后,自己都说不清这一夜是怎么熬过去的。 这就是我进印度的第一天。 恒 河 晨 曲 恒河,是印度文明的摇篮。作为印度第一大河,它发源于喜马拉雅山脉,全长2700多公里,中、上游有2100多公里在印度境内,下游500公里在孟加拉国。 恒河是印度的圣河,历史悠久,有着浓厚的民俗和文化色彩,即使经过千年的文明洗礼,恒河两岸的人们仍然保持着古老的习俗。许多自古流传的神话,使印度人民对恒河母亲生起无限的怀想,烙下一个不可磨灭的情结。这一生中至少要在恒河中沐浴一次,让圣河洗净生生世世所有的罪业。 在印度,大多数印度教信徒终生怀有4大乐趣:敬仰湿婆神、到恒河洗圣水澡并饮用恒河圣水、结交圣人朋友和居住在瓦拉纳西圣城。 到印度,向日葵色板官方最大的兴趣就是到恒河,拍摄那里的风光.人文景象。向日葵色板官方在那里住了三天,早出晚归地穿梭在恒河与千年古城《瓦拉纳西》之间,感受那里奇特的民俗风情,自然风光 进印度的第一天,在烧尸现场住了一个晚上。第二天一大早,天还没有亮,赶快收拾行李闪人。 在船夫的带领下,乘着夜色,坐上了划向恒河中心的小船,拍摄恒河岸边的景色。 对着即将升起的太阳祈祷 太阳升起时的宗教仪式 恒河,新的一天开始了。 11111 2222 3333 把鲜花放进小罐里,打满恒河水,面向太阳祈祷,然后把罐里的水.花一起倒进恒河。 4444 5555 66666 7777 666666([]
在美国很多旅行社都可以报团参加豪华邮轮的旅行,价格和时间是成正比的,如果想游览南极,要报30天以上的团,而且有一定的季节限制。我只是单纯的想去南极,就只能冬天去,先到的洛杉矶,报团从圣地亚哥走,两个城市相距不远,乘车大概两个多小时。第一天的下午提前两个多小时登船,大概五点左右搭乘的阿姆斯特丹号邮轮(AMSTERDAM)缓缓驶出太平洋的美国南部城市圣地亚哥(San Diege)港口,从此我开始了42天的海上漂流生活。人们在甲板上、在赌场里、在歌剧院、在泳池中、在图书馆、在球场上、在歌舞厅、在卧仓里-----度过了第一个夜晚。 阿姆斯特丹号驶离了美国的圣地亚哥港口,围着墨西哥西部的加利福尼亚湾,在太平洋水域中一直南行了40个小时后,终于到达了加尼福尼亚半岛的最南端,这里是此次航行的第一个停靠港。此处是一个小镇——Cabo San Lucas(洛斯卡波斯)。根据当地人的介绍,这是一个旅游开发区,此地居住了许多来自美国和加拿大的名人、有钱人,这里的房价自然就十分昂贵了。 北美人把这里视为度假圣地,也是美国太平洋海军娱乐的天堂,真的如同电影里演的一样。随着夜幕的来临,这里的Night Live准时开场,大约凌晨3点钟之后,那些“滥情”于酒吧里的男男女女们,脱下身上本来就很少的衣服,一丝不挂地互相向对方的身上涂抹cream、互相拥抱、相互亲吻~~~~~~~ 沿海的风光还是和加州的不太一样,有一些当地特色,有个名为情人海滩,估计是世界少有的浪漫去处,许多男女一到这里就双双踏浪前往海滩去享受情人海的洗礼------我,没有情人,刚失恋心情比较沉重,也无心那情人间的浪漫,仿佛这里的一切和我无关似得。一个人慢步于小镇里,享受着墨西哥特有的太平洋风情。 来到海港当然少不了海鲜大餐喽,小镇的海鲜餐馆廉物美,一个人15刀可以饱餐一顿。包括大虾、章鱼、螃蟹和各种叫不清名字的贝类等海鲜大餐。这里有好多高级大酒店,每晚的价钱从200到6000美元不等,还有几个很象样的高尔夫球场,据说也是价格不菲。还是加拿大地大,打高尔夫球也便宜。 我临时充当两个中国摄影协会朋友的翻译,去海岛边上拍些照片,每人花5美元乘小船从停靠在码头的那数百艘游艇穿过,十分钟就到了拍摄点,那是一群巨大的礁石,是墨西哥沿太平洋地性风光。这如果在中国又该被开发成婚纱照的拍摄地了。挺专业人事说,如果lucky遇上好光,在这里能拍到不错的图片,但是向日葵色板官方没有那么幸运,没有拍到什么。 下午5点回到邮轮,6点起航,阿姆斯特丹号继续南行。 继续上片。和两位专业摄影人士取景,见识到了他们的专业。当船靠岸的那一刻,心里有种莫名的兴奋,本人晕船,接下来的几十天很难熬。 当船靠岸的那一刻,心里有种莫名的兴奋,本人晕船,接下来的几十天很难熬。 早上7点,邮轮准时停靠在墨西哥的Acapulco港口,这里算是墨西哥的一个大城市了,但看起来很落后,脏脏乱乱的,估计和中国90年代初的一些县城差不多吧。这里没有什么人文景观,游客们多数去参加一些水上运动。下午四点回到船上,5点邮轮起锚继续南行。 早上邮轮又靠上了墨西哥南部的一个乡镇港口Huatulco,这里人少比昨天那个城市好玩,向日葵色板官方一行7人有5人决定租船到附近的海域小鱼村采风。80美元包了一条小船用一天三个人陪游,小船在太平洋上行驶了三个半小时到了向日葵色板官方要去的渔村,一路几十公里向日葵色板官方看到了“飞鱼”,海鸟和许多漂亮的礁石。在渔村美丽的海滩上,向日葵色板官方下海泡了两个小时,在这里的海底可以轻易看到很多各色的海鱼和珊瑚礁。午饭就在渔村的墨西哥一老百姓家里准备的,虽然全是最新鲜的海味,但这些天吃的有点腻味了。下午向日葵色板官方按时返港,下午5点邮轮启航继续向南。回复 平安福 的帖子会慢慢往上加的,照片好多,太懒得整理啦回复 平安福 的帖子您问的那个“飞鱼”,貌似是什么蝙蝠鱼,是Ogcocephalidae的一种吧,据说墨西哥湾盛产这种鱼。 Puerto Chiapas是向日葵色板官方在墨西哥境内的最后一个停靠港,这里因民族特色和玛雅文化而闻名。向日葵色板官方的邮轮是临晨靠岸的,当向日葵色板官方走下旋梯时已经是上午9点了,这里的天气已经让人感到了几分的炎热。今天还是照旧7个人合租一辆车,开出码头管制区大约一个小时,向日葵色板官方首先到了一处玛雅文化遗址,然后就是去这个城市的中心,这里的市容和墨西哥的很多城市相仿,满街的西班牙式建筑,天主教堂,石头马路。只是感觉这里的市民格外能歌善舞,街头舞者随处可见。在市中心的小广场中间还有一个小舞台,老百姓可以尽情地上台一展自已的舞姿。这让我想起了家里大广场,很多人跳的那种健身Disco,嘿嘿!回复 chen201111 的帖子多谢支持,就是摄影技术菜了点,嘿嘿~~ 危地马拉据说是加勒比海比较富裕的国家,西临太平洋,东临加勒比海。时间紧迫,片刻也不敢耽误,赶紧包车离港,无心理睬晕船的不适。 哥斯达黎加,中美洲沿太平洋最富有的国家,哥斯达黎加国土面积不大,人口也只有400万其中有大约5万中国人。向日葵色板官方在这个国家的一日游从早上开始,还是老办法包一辆车去所以能去的地方。 哥斯达黎加说是有火山、热带雨林、首都游览,其实没有什么可玩的地方。最后大家选择了去火山口看活火山,我知道大白天去看那山上冒出的一股股的烟气,其实没有什么意思,但是仅有9个小时的时间,实在没有其它选择,到了火山口果然更加失望,海拔2700多米的山上下着大雨,俯视下面的火山口,是白茫茫一片什么也看不见。大家扫兴而归,最后只好在海边溜达了一会,5点钟回船。巴拿马,277万人口,华人约占5%。今天已经是第八天了,早晨邮轮抵达巴拿马,巴拿马城在海平面的尽头升起,早晨天气不是太好,但是仍有一缕缕阳光时而洒落向巴拿马城的高楼大厦,在巴拿马城外的太平洋海域里停满了抛锚等待的大小船只,估计这些都是等待时间越过巴拿马运河进入加勒比海的船。向日葵色板官方的邮轮不去加勒比海,所以就在里巴拿马城不远的海边抛锚,上午9点向日葵色板官方登上救生艇离开邮轮,来到了巴拿马城。向日葵色板官方先到了一个当地的公园,当地华人叫这里“小巴拿马”,这里保留着西班牙人到来之后的最初的西人建筑,包括当年的邮局、小教堂。这处建筑群的旁边有几间树叶搭建的茅草屋,说这是当地土著人的房子,据说在这个国家的东北部,至今还有不少土著人居住在这样的房子里,他们几乎不穿衣服仍然过着十分原始的生活。当地华人朋友告诉向日葵色板官方,这个国家比较腐败很多事没有什么原则,往往有钱就能办通许多事,向日葵色板官方的车在一处作临时停靠,警察过来说这里不可以停车,当地的那位车主告诉我,其实如果给这个警察几块钱,就可以停了。巴拿马的社会治安不是太好,有些地区游客最好不要进入。巴拿马运河的通过费用是这个国家财政收入的重要来源,巴拿马政府收回运河管理权之后,巴拿马的城市建设和国力的发展都有了明显的提高。据说巴拿马没有自已的货币,全部使用美元,一位华人朋友跟我说,巴拿马和美国的关系很好,就象美国的儿子,只要这个国家的总统说一声,美国的军队在几小时内就可以开到巴拿马。巴拿马城的夜生活是闻名于世的,但是这个城市很乱,再加上下雨向日葵色板官方没有在这里耽搁太久,下午在暴雨中向日葵色板官方参观了巴拿马运河之后就回船了。 这里的天气很闷热。巴拿马运河位于美洲大陆中部,纵贯巴拿马地峡,是一条沟通太平洋和大西洋的船闸式运河。运河全长81.3公里,最窄处为152米,最宽处为304米。从运河中线分别向两侧延伸16.09公里所包括的地带,为巴拿马运河区,总面积为1432平方公里。 根据《巴拿马运河条约》,美国以一次付给1000万美元、9年后每年再付租金25万美元的代价,从而取得开凿运河和“永久使用、占领和控制”运河和运河区的权利。回复 小囡子刘满 的帖子一个人出行或许会觉得孤单些,但所到之处的美景会带来不一样的心情,不过还是喜欢多些人玩,嘿嘿回复 头线

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 evaluate 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([
