Tibet
 
G'Day,
anybody has been recently on the two Tibetan Highways going from Xining/Golmud to Lhasa and Chengdu to Lhasa.

Furthermore looking for feedback regarding the "highway #318" or roads between Lhasa / Xigaze (Shigatse) and Tingri (Dzong)? Tingri (Dzong) is located very near the Mt.Everest Starting Point for Climbers called Rongbuk (the road/track stops there..). Another possibilty to get near the top of the world is a town/city called Karta.

best regards, seeya in the pub or on the road somewhere....

Hi Butch,
Been doing a bit of research on Tibet and came across this site which may be of interest. Some amazing photos in there, They give a good idea of road conditions and the scenery is just amazing.
