April 24 Ching-old Tingri - Nyalam 61 Road Ban - Geelong - Saga (142-93-69 km) total 5321 kilometers have been early in the sun, the earth's highest point rises, we have to put away their luggage ready to leave, discovered last night, everyone forgot to cucumber back into the room, though placed in the car, but I got last night's cold weather had frozen into the ice of a root, one will be air temperatures rise, Cucumber soon melting of rotting, which, under our losses on the big, and this is our last supplies of vegetables and fruits.
8:45 left Tingri, China-Nepal Highway is very beautiful, and our car could have been fast, pushing at the northern foot of the magnificent Himalayan mountain scenery, as well as the world's fourth peak of Cho Oyu, 8201 meters above sea level, As we left the highway, which is about 40 kilometers away from Old Tingri, base camp located at an altitude of 4800 meters Gabla place Peng Qu River tributaries in the West Bank. We see Cho Oyu if not high, as if it's easy to climb, but you just here to move forward on foot section of the road, I know how to judge your mistakes.
Climbing route to move forward, and wading across the river, next to the glacier at about 5400 meters of space to set up advance base camp. The north is Gabla glaciers, to the south called Lamballe glaciers, glaciers north and south of the demarcation point is Lamballe pass, but also in Tibet Nepal border point, about 5700 meters above sea level, as long as that is over here in Nepal and all the way to the drop in elevation of getting lower and lower, you can pass to the south-saki bazaar, Luke La and other places, and then continue by road or by plane to Kathmandu.
Many non-Old Tingri outsiders know Lamballe Yamaguchi may cross the border and there is no fortification later, followed by using it as a channel and out of Nepal. Therefore, more and more people smuggling, causing the attention of the relevant units, then in the Cho Oyu base camp set up near the temporary checkpoints to prevent illegal immigrants illegal activities. So now the Lamballe glacier walking, leaving only the old Tingri the local people, they were allowed to return to Tibet and Nepal.
Cho Oyu in front of a large a large grassland, in order to better protect a grassland, I saw the locals put a piece of grassland into a piece of fencing, in which only one sheep grazing, so that the other grassland the opportunity to recuperate and revive.
The shepherds grazing far to see our car, we ran as fast as road side, we have just enough time for their cars out of date arrived, turned out that they run so hard just to wave our hands, honest face filled with smiles on their faces, how people moved. We are also forced to waving his hands, using newly learned Tibetan and greeted them.
Auto a fly-past, but the car is still moving laughter echoed, as well as charming smile, has been packed in their hearts I will always remain in mind. Suddenly feel particularly happy, but there are a group of kids and you never know say hello, the original Happy is so simple, happy in the cities, we are fully reflect the unattainable.
Grassland at the end of that checkpoint, check our border documents collected grassland management fee per vehicle after the release of 25 yuan. 11:40 timeshare we arrived at the Nyalam County Road 61 classes, here is the sub-fork, to the west is a saga, Shui Po, 70 km south of the town is filled Nyalam County heap, Nyalam Tibetan means "Neck Road", and then south to 30 km is the Sino-Nepalese border town of camphor, which is 70 Road Ban Office, did not expect is that this short period of 100 km on the road there are 10 Road class, we can imagine the importance of this kilometers.
We do not Zhangmu, continue westbound, left after the Sino-Nepalese km road became bumpy, but the rolling snow-capped mountains appeared to the left of the car, where the snow-capped mountains Xianggang may from time to time to leave Tingri Cho Oyu, Zhuo Austrian Friends of the peak is a show to stand alone street, and now there is a snow-capped mountains stretching dozens of kilometers, silhouetted against the blue sky, white clouds, we have seen repeatedly shouted.
Gesang said: "Now this position is not the best, to Peiku, snow-capped mountains lake scenery more beautiful."
Sure enough, the car climb a small hill, we saw Peiku lying still in the mountains, she is the blue was so fascinating, calm as a mirror of the lake, almost no trace of ripple, blue lake reflected upside the blue sky, and sometimes Guo Ji Duo floating white clouds, like a crowd of sheep, water, blue sky and white clouds, Mountain Shadow complex bulk polymerization, not tell which is the day, which is the lake.
Unfortunately, while a hill can not see the snow-capped mountains and lakes, if we had brought tents, you can go to the other side of the lake camping, and stand on the other side of the lake in front of the back of the snow-capped mountains will be reflection in the lake, the landscape the same color, is simply that is intoxicating.
We unconsciously wanted to move toward the other side, Gesang called to us: "No time to the other side, and tonight should be rushed to the saga will go through a crossing, ferries will be suspended at 6:00, so we have a 6-point pre - arrived, or we should sleep in the wilderness. "
A matter of time, are already 13:30, we decided to place the landscape in such a good picnic, watching such a beauty, most of all appetite. That we need to leave, Lydia, hear the strange sound of a car, I got a check, the original is another piece of a broken right rear wheel of steel, Lydia, follow a set pattern of the steel truss, 2:15 we are again continued to hit the road.
Go to Ali is so bumpy the road, just the start, we cut two pieces of steel plate, and I do not know that we can continue after the trip.
Peiku County is located in Geelong, Geelong in Tibetan means "comfortable village, happy village", in front of a fork in the road Peiku, 34 km west of Geelong is the county seat, is 69 kilometers north of the south bank of the Brahmaputra. We were at double speed, had to cut off two steel Guzhao car, afraid to open too fast.
17:30 finally arrive at the edge of the Brahmaputra Gaga Ferry, the largest river Brahmaputra in Tibet, but also the world's highest river, originated in the northern foot of the Himalayas jama Yangzong Glacier. From west to east flow at great speed in the Himalayas and Gangdise mountain ranges, in the vicinity of Mainling sent off to the northeast, then turns sharply south again, after China's Xi-card out of Palestinian territory. Of the river Brahmaputra in India, known as the river flow to Bangladesh later renamed Jamuna. In Bangladesh, more than Gee Long near the city of Jamuna and the Ganges-phase exchange, the last into the Indian Ocean Bay of Bengal.
Now we are located in the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra - Ma Sutlej, Qingqing flow of the river is very special too anxious, high winds blew here, too, especially Huan, making gallops river reveal bursts of white horses, wind-horse flags of the shore facing the sunset breeze, issue a loud "popping, popping" sound.
There are a few more trucks crossing the two sides in the queue is a flat-bottomed ferry iron ship, do not bow the stern of the points, like a large rectangular iron floating on the River. Both sides, Li has a large pier in the river hang a wire rope, iron ship itself has no mechanical power, relying on the pulling iron cable people on board, the iron ferry boat slowly to the other side.
For safety reasons, persons and vehicles to the respective board, and other cars on the boat, boatman gave an order, everyone shouted in pulling cable, the ship moved a little to the other side. Border inspection after landing the border card, border guards saw the border on the card written on the subject of tourism, it is strange to ask: "There are any good travel, so far came, I really do not understand how you are thinking." Originally here regularly Some people smuggling border, it was particularly stringent checks.
Saga on the shore not far from our car quickly moved into the county seat Saga, Saga in Tibetan means "lovely place", county little unreasonable China Telecom, there are satellite phones, but not too expensive, and 2 yuan a minute, is said to be United Nations-sponsored.
At this time there is a team of teams coming back from Ali, two jeeps and a large support Dongfeng supply vehicles, Gesang came up whether it is auto parts, but as such a big steel parts, they did not back-up, it seems we have no approach on the way to repair the cars.
