Camel herd on the uphill of the first small pass


Downhill from a 3200m pass


We enjoy the last siesta on lush grass plains


Entering the Kunlun Shan ("Mountains of Darkness")


Trying to have breakfast after a bad night for me: vomiting and diarrhea


Road under construction


Born to be wild...


Kunlun Shan - the range really deserves its name


Very tiring ascent to the first high pass


Last meters to the Chiragsaldi La - 4995m


Having a break at low oxygen


Entering the Himalaya - downhill from the first pass


 


Rough gravel and washboard road



Antoine patching together his pannier - the first victim of the poor road


Endless switchboard road up the second high pass


Kakeate La (4955m) - icy wind


Again a long downhill


Bad weather coming up


Separated from Antoine - again alone


Barren landscape
