Just a short update as we are a little short on wifi. Drive from Lǐtáng was wonderful, although the road was under construction and the tunnel through the mountain was not complete. This forced us to take the high road over the mountain which clearly hadn’t been maintained for years. It did however afford us wonderful alpine views. The highest point for the day was 4,664 meters (approximately).
After the long and bumpy drive we finished the day with a wonderful evening around the warming fire in Khampa Cafe. It really is quite cold here as we are still at altitude, approximately 3,500 mts (11,500 ft). We (Stephen) like the cold. Caroline likes it a tad warmer…
