Tibet- from Zhangmou to Tingri


After a few hours drive from Dhulikhel, we reach the border between Nepal and Tibet. Crossing it is not as complicated as expected; even though they make sure Cheun has no fever!! ;-) We have to pass the night in a dodgy border village, as the road is closed because of the snow. Due to the time changing (2 hours difference!), we are astounded that sunset is only at 8 PM while the next day it also rises only after 7.30 AM. Quite a change after Nepal!!
On the next day, our long journey (4 days) to Lhasa starts. Slowly we gain on altitude and reach the peaks. We cross some passes (above 5000 meters) and even (or still!!!) want to dive.
