35. Bomdilla

Blog entries, Locations
Bomdilla is a bit like Dirang. Quite some tourist infrastructure, in the form of hotels, homestays, and restaurants – which, confusingly are also called hotels, but for ‘fooding’ only. Yet, there doesn’t seem to be a lot to do in town. There is the market, in Bomdilla’s case the old market and the new market, [...]

33. Dirang

Blog entries
There is not an awful lot to do in Dirang, where we landed again on the way back from Tawang. A small commercial district, referred to as the market, contains some 10, 15 shops, many selling the usual general supplies, and recognisable from the strings of salty crisps outside. Some sampling has actually revealed that [...]

30. Tawang

Blog entries, Locations
Except that there turns out to be another road to Tawang. Since a few years, there is also a Sela tunnel. And the tunnel is open. Until now, that had not been worth mentioning. So after having come down a bit from the road to the pass, which we found closed, we take a turn [...]

(7) To Mount Everest

Blog entries
The Friendship Highway, past Latse and Shekar, ultimately brings us to the turn off for Mount Chomolungma, Mount Everest to most: a fabulous sight.

(6) Shigatse

Blog entries
The second-largest Tibetan town is pretty Chinese, in fact, and the only reason to come here is the impressive Tashilunpo Monastery.

(5) West to Gyantse

Blog entries
The scenic southern route past mountain passes and a sacred lake leads to Gyantse, another historic town with a fort, a monastery and a pagoda.

(3) Lhasa

Blog entries
The Tibetan capital, where Chinese and Tibetan culture exist in parallel, is surrounded by several great monasteries, like Drepung and Sera

(2) The Yarlung Valley

Blog entries
The birthplace of Tibetan culture does not only contain several interesting monasteries, but also a lot of Chinese army presence
