Cross terrain

We spent a day on the road to Gyantse, taking in some beautiful mountain sites.





The typical whitewashed countryside house whizzed by our Land Cruiser.


Within a few hours we were climbing up to about 4000m elevation.


Destination of the day: Yam-drok Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world at 4400 meters.

The views of nearby snow-capped mountains are breathtaking.

Very few friends were out and about that day. We tried to strike up conversation with this one, but he appeared too lost in reflection to be of any diversion.





We broke from the lake to head up into the mountains even further.








Winding our way back down we again found some beautiful reservoirs.
