Tibet - Freedom Highway - May 17


The second day, we gained altitude quickly. We drove through a pass at 5050 meters high. Very quickly the trees disappeared and we drove through very dry but colorful landscape. The mountains were ochre, yellow and red. We arrived in Old Tingri where we spent 2 nights to acclimatise to the altitude. The following days we will stay between 4000 and 5200 meters high in the mountains.
