We had a very rough ride to Tingri. We were holding on with at least one hand most of the time. We forded numerous rivers and drove kilometers without seeing a single yak, nomad or sheep. Desolate territory. The Tingri Guesthouse had a hot, communal shower. With sunset, the clouds parted and in the distance we saw several 8,000 meter plus peaks including Everest and 8,201 meter Cho Ogu.
