Chang Tang - The last wilderness |
There
is another Tibet, much of it above fifteen thousand feet, with treeless
steppes and windswept ranges where only nomadic pastoralists with their herds
of yaks, sheep, and goats can exist, and where there are vast tracts so barren
that even they cannot survive. This is the Chang Tang.
In the summer of year 2003 it's time for our third try to cross the mighty Chang Tang Plateau |
