The Golmud Highway. (Golmud - Lhasa).
Topografiskt diagram.
Ruttomdome: Mestadels platt, blasig och ganska monoton rutt. Nagra hogre pass, men flacka och korta klattringar. Relativt hog hojd hela vagen. Enligt uppgift kommer vinden nastan alltid fran syd/syd-syd-ost, vilket kan vara viktigt att vaga in i planeringen. Oftast vindstilla till tidig formiddag med allt kraftigare vindar under dagens lopp. Latt att hitta mat, bransle och vatten aven om de flesta kartor visar fler stader an verkligheten. Fin asfalt till ca 85km fore Lhasa (vagarbete, antagligen ok ganska snart). Naturen ar ganska enahanda, hogplata med avlagsna bergskedjor i horizonten.
