Riding into tibet

[chinabiker]

Hi Adam,

Do you know how far north you can go following the NuJiang river? Does the road actually take you into Tibet? ...

I was up the Nujiang until Gongshan in autumn 2005. Some locals said that it is possible to go to Tibet, some say it's not.

From what I've seen on the map it could be possible. However, I know from personal experience that this map is sometimes wishful thinking. I tried to track it down using the map and Google Earth, but I'm still not sure whether it can be done. If interested I can provide a kmz with my investigation result.

Check with Yunnanexplorer (Ludwig Max Brinckmann- ludwigbrinckmann aatt gmail dooott com), who is, from what I know of some e-mail contact with him, pretty familiar with this area.
He has some topo maps in Garmin img format, which can be loaded on Garmin GPSr's.

Any investigation results are also of big interest for me.
