DRIVING ALONG THE TOP OF THE WORLD

Nepal is gorgeous

But the roads are not!

Miles of bad road, cropped terraces and villages

Our road

A pipe smoking lady

Getting nearer to the border

New cars lined along the road

Entering China

Disputed territories all covered up

In Girong

We hit the road

We stop at the stupa and temple

So many street lights

And lots of magic scenery

Look at those mountains

Lots of villages

And lots of yaks

Locals

Ploughing time

The view across to Everest from Old Tingri

Ruined Temples

Another local

Busy with wool while watching his sheep

Heading to Base Camp at Everest

The highest Monastery in the world

And yes that is the big one - Mt Everest

More ploughing

Love that road

And love the viewpoints

On our way back down

Tingri town

Some locals

Heading over the snowy pass - Tropucha La Pass at 4950m

Shigatse town

Markets

Tashiphunpo Monastery

The Yellow Hat Brigade

Dancers at our restaurant

LOVE the shoes

Leaving our Hotel carpark

Out of town

Finally we have our temporary No Plate & Drivers Licence

On the road

First glimpse of Potala Palace at Lhasa from the back of the truck

Market time

Barkhor Street

So very devout

The big one - the fabulous Potala Palace

And coming back down

Back into Barkhor Square

And exploring the back streets

Back on the road again

Up to the snow

And into Little Switzerland

Our camp for the night

And dinner

Onto Lake Runwa

So many mountains

Traffic jams

70 harpin bends

Overnight in Zugang

With the other motorhomes

Back in the snow Tongdala Pass at 5100m

I walk to the lookout for views

Love the colours

Getting help with our wheel ... love the local guys hair braid

Back on the road

Just magic

Fabulous driving
