Turkey 2003

The gallery of my latest China visit is finally done. Some nice pictures from the start and end days of my motorbike trip to Tibet are available now in the China 2010 gallery.

The Tibet pictures will get an own gallery soon.

 

Due the recent earthquake in the Kham area, we are forced to take another route to the "classic" Tibet provinces Ü and Tang. We will start in Xining and take the Qinghai route from Golmud to Nagqu over the northern Tibetan plateau before reaching the "classic" Tibet. The changed route is now a "Historic Tibet" tour, since the new trip leads mainly through current Tibet and the former Tibetian province of Amdo.

The motorbike tour from Chengdu to Lhasa will start in May 2010. Starting from Chengdu the route will follow the southern track of the Sichuan - Tibet Hwy. As the Lonely Planet China states, it "is one of the world's highest, roughest, most dangerous and most beautiful roads". This is followed by a tour through "classic" Tibet to the Mt. Everest basecamp and back to Lhasa.
