Tibet- Nepal Border
Crossing the Tibet- Nepal border on foot seemed like a fun idea. The Nepal earthquake in 2015 closed the usual border so we crossed at Gyirong or Kerung. which has only been open to foreigners for a year. This spring has seen heavy monsoons so the roads on the Nepal side tund out to be horrific – who knew? The Chinese side the road was reallly quite good – the Chinese invasion gave Tibetans good roads and little else. We got to the border early and lined up outside with a several groups of mostly European tourists. Our kids …
Chomolungma aka Mt. Everest
We got so so lucky to see Chomolungma aka Everest at this time of year, especially 2 days in a row. It is amazing to see…truly! Words cannot describe it and the pictures don’t do it justice but here goes…..
Wildlife and Nature in Tibet
Unlike kids in Tibet, our kids ids have grown up in HK where wildlife is not always easy to find. Here in Tibet we got to see farm animals of all kinds, Tibetan mastiffs, wild horses, foxes, some deer and tourists.

Tibetan Temples, Monasteries and Doors

However, a lot was protected by local authorities then and has been renovated by Tibetans over the last 60+ years of occupation.
Lhasa, Tibet
Everyone should get to the country of Tibet and its capital Lhasa before it is destroyed even more by the Chinese government. Much like Mongolia, the scenery is amazing bit it is the Tibetan people that drew me in…..they were so happy we had a few words in Tibetan and as usual enchanted by the kids. My beard and general weirdness has also been a draw and I am now immortalised in many Tibetans photo collections. Tibet Tibet, the Dalai Lamas and Panchen Lamas have had a long history. The current exiled Dalai Lama is the 14th. …
