the wild west

no, this is not the american southwest. it is tibet's far west, as we approach the seats of what is now most often called the kingdom of guge.

we spent about a week in this terrain, located two days of rugged driving in our six land cruisers from mount kailash heading further west.

out in this wild west we passed a few days in the town of tholing as we explored that site and neighboring tsaparang, followed by two nights in the valley that houses the two cave complexes of dungkar and phiyang. several of the shots from the campsites in the next blog entry are of that valley.

and then three more days to drive back

but perhaps i can just let these images speak for themselves...
