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.
George Schaller, National Geographic Society, 1997
In the summer of year 2003 it's time for our
third try to cross the mighty Chang Tang Plateau
