    The Dream is over!
    I must swear my wife before we left, that this would be the last trip to Tibet forever. This was our 3rd trip there in 3 years, so she has enough of it. In that 3 years her poor ass done a total of 42.000km on the back of my bikes...

    Great story and pictures.

    The route you took was that the tea and horse trail?CCTV9 did a doco on the Tea and horse trail definitely on my to do list.

    Any problems getting in to ti bit and riding through with the local pol***.

    Was it this year.

    Those dogs in one of the photos near the hot spring are they Ti beatan mastiff.Are they friendly or protective of their owners and livestock?
