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?Last edited by bigdamo; 11-20-2009 at 10:16 PM.

12-17-2009, 08:04 AMsorry no updates for long time. been to busy with work
@ bigdamo: The Trip was this summer 2009. Yes we had our problems with police and army but nothing we couldnt manage.
Its not the tea and horse trail (Yunnan-Lhasa).
There is few real tibetian mastiff, thy mixed already with local dogs. Will upload more dog pictures for you. They protect there owner and his livestock from you :)
