Litang to Xiangcheng

After Xiangcheng we followed the river and started to go up. The tarmac finished and we had a 100km section of rough gravel. A very bumpy downhill to where we stayed at the Blue river Bend Hotel.

Leaving the grassland plateau behind we cycled to Sangdui where we turned off and cycled our highest pass to date at 4720 meters. We made it to Xiangchang in the rain.

Half way to Litang and great hospitality from the tibetans. Ready for a rest day in Litang.

On our way to Litang we experienced some great moments some we share here. We cycled up some nice pases and met great people.

After climbing two 4500 meter passes we made it to Seda from where we visited the Tibetan Buddhism Institute Larung Gar.
