大象大象在线2021伊甸园

萧俊德

是的，我回来了，从我热爱的西藏，遥远的拉萨回来了……记得那天，同行的队友在信息里说：我现在醉氧呢，你呐，到家后怎么样？记得那天，户外的老友问我：你西藏行的图片和文字呢？我们期待你的帖子呢！记得那天，那天，那天……我一直在回忆中不停的整理那些已经变成“昨天”的相片，突然觉得无论相片拍得有多烂，我都舍不得删掉…… ——记附加队友“橄榄”的游记帖子：且撤且珍惜——记我的2014西藏珠峰东坡、希夏邦马峰南坡之旅(全文完 )https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2177860-1-1.htmlʌ79; —— 前序 —— 今天，我开始在断断续续的回忆中写那段还未曾远去的日子。写我在西藏的步履，便会不由自主的想起一路上看到的那些双手合十、高举头顶、一步三叩的虔诚和执着；写我在西藏的步履，还会有一种感觉让我情不自禁的想起那些清澈的眼眸，总想再抱一抱他们，那些淳朴的孩子，是他们让我的身心，还有那曾经途中的坚强，没来由的在今夜再一次，再一次败给了记忆中的这一份“柔软”……是的，今夜我还是想你，想你之际会令所有的“思念”肆意地顺脸淌下，流进嘴角，咸咸的，涩涩的……这种感觉像极了一场绵长而无果的爱恋，在每一个夜深人静的夜晚从未远离。 ——记藏传佛教文化…… 藏区的孩子…… 去西藏，去雪域高原，终点不是目的，路上的每一天，每一个恰到好处的瞬间，才是生命中难得一见的美景。转山、转水、转佛塔，还有那佛前的磕长头、酥油灯前的许愿，这些所有的修心、修性和修行，即使不能融入和参与，我想，今生若能有缘就这样默默地注视着，也很好…… ——记（橄榄摄）美丽而神圣的“布达拉宫”……（橄榄摄）在布达拉宫，在大昭寺，在八廓街，在甜茶馆，在每一处神山圣水的脚下，都会让你受到那一份份微笑着的美好祝福：扎西德勒！在山顶撒一把“隆达”祈祷平安，在飞扬的“风马旗”下敬祝神山，在碧蓝色的湖边，在洁白的雪山之间，撑一顶帐篷，去感受清晨或是傍晚那一缕阳光的洗礼……活在当下，珍惜每一天——让我们在行走的途中“修行”——哪怕只是对身边的人露出微笑…… ——记我在西藏…… 我在西藏……（橄榄摄）海拔5000米的跳跃……（橄榄摄）我在“珠峰东坡” 我在“希夏邦马南坡” 在这里，所有的一切就如同落在白纸上，变得简单而直白…… 我并不是特热衷写游记，只是每次远行归来，我总会在想，怎样才能留住这些渐行渐远的时光？对我而言，也许把途中点点滴滴的记录汇集在一起才算是一次有意义的出行的结束吧。也许，如果有一天我真的老了，在人生末路的渡口徜徉，在青丝白发，铅华褪尽的沧海桑田，那些让人感动的东西再也感动不了我，令人悲伤的事情再也不能让我流泪，那时，如若可以，我愿在等待岁月苍老的回忆中再一次邂逅这一路的“温暖”；那时，如若可以，我希望还能在这里看到，或是听到我的孩子们为我读这些文字，在似曾相识的画面里，在密密麻麻满是“昨天”的字里行间，想起昔日繁华的风景和风景里的我们，然后，然后让“思念如花”……——记感谢记忆里有你——首先感谢为我践行和接风的队友和家人…… 感谢拉萨的朋友们和两位偶遇拼车的香港美眉， ——谢谢你们的相约与相伴…… 感谢一路有你——与家乡环华骑行的“朱世岱”老师相逢拉萨，感谢您带给我他乡遇故人的激动和感动……感谢一路有你——曾经“狼塔C+V”路上的队友，感谢你们在回程途中对我的热情款待…… 感谢记忆里有你——谢谢你们带给我雪域高原旷野中的真诚…… 今天，敞开心扉，要感谢生命，更要感谢你们——感谢有缘与你们同行在AA相约的路上，感谢途中不离不弃的情谊，因为你们的自信与阳光，让我由衷的敬佩与信任，因为你们的加入，让我的西藏之行更精彩……风中，雨中，暴雪中，我们一起走过，你们让我看到了户外领域的风采和户外人的素质。当时光匆匆，别去经年，我们终将会在漫长的岁月中明白最美好的也许不是那一路的风景，而是我们曾经并肩走过的那些个转身的等待和惜惜问候的细节……一缕清风，一丝细雨，一片飞雪，在生命中变成永远难忘的初心，温暖了曾经所有的过往，别后，一声念安，一句祝福，足矣…… ——记“珠峰东坡”徒步的全体队友（从左至右）：轻装队员：辽宁的“走来走去”和“随心”、广西的“明成”重装队员：贵州的“橄榄”、云南的“时光”、本人合影于“优帕村”——徒步“珠峰东坡”的起点……合影于“希夏邦马”南坡徒步的途中……合影于“希夏邦马”南坡的营地…… 贵州的队友“橄榄”，是我去年“贡嘎”之行的队长，一路上很会搭讪和沟通（号称“雨神”，这点是我所不能及的）…… 云南的队友“时光”，或骑行或徒步曾多次进藏，是一名我所信赖的骚大夫，（也是大名鼎鼎的“雨神”，据说拉萨一别后的日子他可是到哪儿哪下雨）…… （一）启程拉萨又是一场雨，让闷热的午后变得清凉，在这样一个下过雨的傍晚，约三五知己小聚在这空濛的夜色里，谈人生，谈生命，谈令人向往的外面的世界。他们说，你又在路上！走的如此匆忙，让我们再一次追寻着你的足迹；他们说，你怎么能放得下？离得开？舍得去远方看风光无限？是的，生活就是这样，有些事看起来很难，其实做起来很容易——例如“远行”；有些事做起来很难，看起来很却很容易——例如“行走”……——记启程相送，归来相迎，所有的感激之情都在心中…… 从这一刻起，愿途中所有的收获“入眼成景，入心成禅”…… 幸亏提前了一天，飞机经停银川时因拉萨贡嘎机场沙尘暴而被迫停飞，当晚航空公司安排食宿，调整起飞时间…… 第二天到达“贡嘎机场”已经是正午，25元坐机场大巴不到两个小时到市内，还好，下午办理日喀则地区的边防证比较顺利…… 入住预定的位于拉萨市北京中路亚宾馆旁边的“风马飞扬旅舍”，这里住着是很多骑行爱好者，不愧是“车友之家…… 环境优雅的“风马飞扬旅舍”…… 这里住宿方便、整洁，环境温馨、安静，还有温文尔雅、端庄漂亮的老板娘…… 充分利用短暂的午后时光——我想，逛街和吃应该是所有初来拉萨的朋友们别无选择的节奏…… 大昭寺一景…… 相识是缘——感谢拉萨热情的朋友们……

2011年的八月，正赶上亚航的年度大促、本想在去年4月就前往而由于种种原因未能成行的新西兰自驾的诱惑再次出现，2012年5.13-5.28吉隆坡—基督城往返含税九百多令吉，与中学的死党两人一拍即合，立刻下手将特价机票抢到手。从此，漫长的八个月的等待从此开始……等待的感觉就是痛苦并幸福着，随着日子一天一天的临近，我终于要开始我筹划了将近一年的“中土世界”之旅！此次自驾路线还是网上常见的逆时针经典路线、毕竟考虑到还带着LD一起出游，不能过多的安排徒步路线，所以基本上路线还是以休闲为主。(自驾行程总共3495KM)D1（5.14） Christchurch--Kaikoura D2（5.15）：KaikouraD3（5.16）：Kaikoura --Greymouth D4（5.17）：Greymouth ---Fox GlacierD5（5.18）：Fox Glacier ---Wanaka D6（5.19）：Wanaka---QueenstownD7（5.20）：Queenstown D8（5.21）：Queenstown ---Invercargill-D9（5.22）：Invercargill---Dunedin D10（5.23）：Dunedin---OamaroD11（5.24）：Oamaro--- Twizel—Mt Cook D12（5.25）：Twizel ---Lake Tekapo---FairlieD13(5.26)Fairlie---Akaroa D14(5.27)Akaroa---Christchurch按照发帖惯例，先上几张封面图片吸引大伙儿的眼球~继续吸引~~还有哦~~吸引到你了吗？还没？那我再来！嘿嘿，还有还有~~最后一招了~我最喜欢的一张作品~各位看的可还满意？下面我的游记正式开始.......................当当当~~首先开始人物介绍，我们此次出行是旅行的黄金组合，4人，我和我同学两对夫妻。人物1：楼主，烟鬼+摄鬼+司机+厨子+电工师傅。人物2：楼主同学RYU，外交主力+银行+司机+打杂+保镖。人物3：楼主家LD，小跟班一号人物4：RYU家LD，小跟班二号第零天（5.13）由南半球飞往北半球的途中经过5个小时的飞行，我们从杭州飞到了吉隆坡（LCCT），随即便马不停蹄的转机前往基督城......八个月的等待就为这一天终于起飞飞往基督城了！飞机即将穿过澳洲大陆，离新西兰越来越近了！在亚航拥挤的机舱中，经过11个小时的煎熬，终于在5.13日2250分降落在基督城国际机场。这是我第一次乘坐亚航的航班，也应该是我最后一次乘坐亚航的航班。相比去年的前往土耳其的卡塔尔航空（公里数差不多，但服务却相差很大，尽管我已经做好了乘坐廉航的种种设想）。到达以后，早在国内便通过论坛相识的地球另一边MM的爱人（基督城伯爵）驾车来机场接我们，还借了我们大保温箱和电饭锅，一路上是我们最重要的装备。第一天就让我们感受到了新西兰的热情和真诚。第一天（5.14）初识新西兰惊艳...... 基督城--凯库拉旅行的第一天总是兴奋的，我早早的起床。清晨的基督城有点儿冷，看着路上的车子渐渐地增多，我渐渐迷失……一会儿才回过神来，我的新西兰南岛自驾之旅已经开始了！早早的叫醒了RYU打电话给APEX公司，一会儿，一辆宝蓝色森林人就来接我们了，这就是接下来要陪伴我们14天的车了。由于很多网友都提到了APEX公司在还车后表示油未加满而擅自多算钱，我们还是本着多一事不如少一事的想法，8折买了第一桶油。而事实证明，这样似乎挺明智，我们还车的时候，油表已经亮灯了，哈哈！由于买的是全险，所以车子就看了下没什么大毛病就开走了。对于我和RYU这种开了十余年车的老司机来说，右舵车的不适感只要十分钟就能克服了，一切EASY！和基督城伯爵合影后向凯库拉进发！先是去了New World超市购买今明几天所需的调味品，油盐酱醋、食物等。第一天来到新西兰，激动万分，觉得超市的停车场都很美！没开出几公里，老婆就嚷嚷着要在路边的咖啡小店买杯咖啡喝喝，还说这是新西兰慢生活的开始，哈哈。开出基督城不久，天气就开始阴沉下来了，一副要下大雨的样子。难道这是新西兰给我们刚到来的新人的下马威吗？到了凯库拉不会也是阴天下雨吧。怀着忐忑的心情，我们继续往凯库拉开去。路上遇见的一辆古董级的房车~开车的大爷个性十足，留着长胡子、穿着皮夹克，带着蛤蟮！嗯！这就是我想象中的新西兰的生活方式Ｉ惜没有把大爷拍下来大约开了2个多小时，大海毫无预兆的出现在我们的眼前。凯库拉到了......初见凯库拉海岸线...... 凯库拉的住宿 Barnacle Bills 推荐指数：★★★★☆我们住的两卧室套房，每晚只要125刀，真是很便宜，而且房子也很大，厨房用品齐全。云层很厚，照片拍出来都是灰蒙蒙的，这就是我们在凯库拉住的地方花丛后面就是我们的房间旅馆的一些小摆设，店主以前是个船长，退休以后把自己船上的东西都拆了下来当成了装饰品，小小的物品透出浓浓的时间味道门口的大铁锚太阳公公出来小露了一下脸，马上又缩回去了由于我们在路上耽搁的时间太长了，而5月又是新西兰的旅游淡季，我们安顿好住宿赶往观鲸公司时，被告知淡季最晚的一班观鲸船是中午12点。没办法，我们只好预定了第二天早上10点的那班船。本以为不能观鲸总能出海捕龙虾吧，致电给几个捕龙虾的地方，一致的回答是今天天气不好，不能出海捕龙虾。在得知这一结果以后，我们四人开始无所事事的在凯库拉的海岸线上闲逛，发现石头滩的岩石上有很多芝麻螺，这让无所事事的我们很兴奋，抓了够四个人吃的量，高高兴兴的回住宿地去了。天快黑的时候，发现天气变好了，这真是一个好兆头，希望明天能顺利观鲸与出海捕龙虾......第二天（5.15）：凯库拉鲸鱼！装鲨海豹！海豚！龙虾！FISH！今天的天气还是没有我们期盼的蓝天白云，依旧是灰蒙蒙的一片，甚至还下点小雨，这让我们对今天的观鲸之旅充满了担忧......看这天气......今天能看到鲸鱼么？这家就是凯库拉唯一的一家由毛利人开的观鲸公司，毛利人以前以宰杀鲸鱼为生，后来当地政府号召毛利人不要杀鲸鱼，转而授予他们开设观鲸公司的权力，这一决定才能使我们今天能看到野生的抹香鲸、杀人鲸。船开出去不久，船长就兴奋的通知我们，发现了今天的第一条鲸鱼~不过我的英语水平太菜，不知道发现的是啥鲸鱼，有同学能认出来不？（查了资料，这是一条抹香鲸）不过这家伙等我们的船一靠近，立马就闪了~而且是很温柔的潜了下去，尾鳍都没怎么甩，第一条鲸鱼拍摄失败！鲸鱼下潜以后，船长都会示意大家回到船舱去，由讲解员继续给大家讲解鲸鱼的知识，而其余船员则继续开船寻找别的鲸鱼的方位。观鲸船继续行驶了不到十五分钟，船长又在广播中通知发现今天的第二条鲸鱼了！但是我仍然没有听懂发现的是哪种鲸鱼~嘿嘿(后来仔细查看，发现还是一条抹香鲸)这次这家伙比较乖，我们的船靠的很近了，它还是气定神闲的吐着汽。最后，它不负一船人的期望，给大家上演了一次完美的神龙摆尾入水！废话不多说，上图才是王道！神龙摆尾来咯~~~（图比较多，一个回复只能上三张图，下面还有）完美收官~这条抹香鲸实在是太给力了！看过了第二条鲸鱼的精彩表演，船长决定让我们一船人轻松下，今天的另一猪脚登场！一只把自己装成鲨鱼的海豹！是的，你没看错！我也没写错！这是一只得了妄想症的海豹，它让我想起了印度那个一直举着手的巴巴~~~~看完这只得了妄想症的海豹，船长带着我们继续寻找鲸鱼去了，这次寻找的貌似是杀人鲸，我认为最漂亮的鲸鱼。不过这种鲸鱼很难找，在寻找的途中，我们碰见了另外一艘观鲸船，也是和我们同样的目的，寻找杀人鲸！在两艘船的共同寻找下，杀人鲸终于找到了。不过，等我们靠近它身边时，漂亮的杀人鲸迅速的下潜了，很遗憾，我只拍到了一张即将消失的尾鳍~ 最后，船长将我们带到海豚的聚集区，数百只海豚和海鸟在海面上飞跃~实在是太震撼了。以前只在动物世界中见到成群的海豚和海鸟一起进食的场景，今天竟然亲眼所见，真不愧有100%纯净新西兰的称号！这只海鸟轻功了得呀~再见~亲爱的海豚...........([]

(本帖所有水下照片版权为猪娃蛋仔所有，独发8264，请勿转载！）在印度尼西亚尼苏拉威西岛的北角有一个著名的“海洋国家公园”，叫本娜肯国家公园（Bunaken National Park）。相信潜水爱好者对“珊瑚三角带”一定很熟悉，而本娜肯就在珊瑚三角区域的中心*。*（珊瑚三角带：由马来西亚，印度尼西亚，巴布亚新几内亚，菲律宾，所罗门群岛，东帝汶所组成的海洋区域。它被称为 “海洋里的亚马逊”，占据了五百七十万平方公里的海域，是全球海洋生物物种的中心。在这里有超过3000种的鱼类，500多种珊瑚，6大种海龟。）本娜肯国家公园有超过390种珊瑚，这也提供了很多鱼类，贝类，爬行类，海洋哺乳类和软体动物栖息地。它包含900平方公里的海域，其中本娜肯岛就是我们这次潜水的主要目的地。除了本娜肯岛，我们这次也去了蓝碧海峡（Lembeh Straits）玩垃圾潜水（Muck Diving）,但是运气不好没有找到拟态章鱼，没关系以后还可以再去。因为马来西亚，泰国，菲律宾目前都属于雨季，阳光不充足，也因为小编特立独行的个性，（别人去的地方我偏不去），所以诗巴丹，海豚湾，斯米兰，仙本娜可以以后再去。自从今年初从书里认识了这个潜水圣地，小编可谓做足了准备：在新加坡凑齐了一身合适的潜水装备，还托朋友在日本专门买了佳能5D MARK III的SEA&SEA防水壳和照明配件；2个月前就买了机票，联系当地的潜水中心，预定了酒店的房间，一定要做到万无一失。这10天的潜水带给我无限的乐趣，“和海龟一起潜行，从扳机鱼群中穿过，智斗八爪小章，水深40米沉船内寻宝，蓝碧海峡搜寻小生物，鼻腔血管爆裂”，最后美景证明了一切都是值得的。为了方便大家阅读，小编把此帖分成了3部分：装备篇；行程篇，摄影篇（珊瑚和鱼类科普）。1. 行程篇：https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1884010-pid-35895318.html2. 装备篇：https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1884010-pid-35951243.html3. 摄影篇：https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1884010-pid-35964226.html行程篇：1 - 航班，机场，证信息 2 - 酒店，潜水中心信息 3 - 潜水准备和须知 4 - 本娜肯潜点特色介绍 5 - 蓝碧海峡潜点特色介绍 6 - 高地一日游（火山和内陆湖） 7 - 离境及潜水总结第一天当然是坐飞机了，虽说印尼 Manado （万鸦老/美娜多）属于东南亚北半球，但是飞行距离还是很长，差不多9000公里左右。小编选择的是新加坡航空公司的班机，从北京飞到新加坡樟宜机场，然后转机乘坐SILK AIR航空飞到美娜多，飞行时间一共是9个半小时。大家也可选择乘坐印尼鹰航，相对来讲会比较便宜，但是必须从雅加达转机，比较耽误时间。印尼是落地证，只要你的护照不是白本，几乎不可能拒。证费25美金，有效期30天。美娜多的 Sam Ratulangi 国际机场不大，办理证，入关，提取行李用不了多久，但是入关时需要按手印提取指纹，只要从容地走程序，一切都不成问。（小编是第2次去印尼了，所以护照和指纹以留记录，就更方便了）。（图片来自网络）（图片来自网络）走出机场立刻就能看到司机举着我的姓名牌，握手寒暄之后，把行李搬上车就开始往酒店出发了。机场距离酒店大概有50分钟车程，小编这次选择的酒店和潜水中心不在市区，而是在西北角的WORI 区，能隔海遥望Bunaken本娜肯岛, Manado Tua美娜多二号岛和 Siladen 西拉丹岛。来到酒店，没想到正赶上大装修，酒店大堂正在吊灯和添加内饰，中部的游泳池在扩建，小别墅区的VILLA HOUSE 也在加层翻新，难怪之前联系的时候说没有别墅房了，心里多少有些不爽。登记的时候，前台小妹端来了迎宾果汁，哎！毫无添加剂，没有水的勾兑的味道啊！混合的苹果，橘子和牛油果的香味，现在回国也想试试自制一下。漫步在7公顷的绿茵地上，周围被椰树环绕，想到这几天能在这潜水，一种莫名的兴奋感油然而生。 (图片转自网络）左边的锥形火山是 Manado Tua, 右边的长条型岛就是 Bunaken.房间还算可以吧，该有的都有，不该有的也有。我的单人间在三楼，可以俯视整个酒店，房间整体成白绿色，一天三潜之后躺在豪华大床上也能恢复体力。独立空调，温度风速随你控制。浴室24小时热水，只有淋浴，没有浴池，水量还是很大的，估计可能是离海一步之隔的原因吧，略有有一点咸味。每间房都有落地窗大阳台，累的时候也可以坐在外面欣赏美景，感受海风。整栋楼都有无线WIFI，但是速度真的是不敢恭维，要不然我就全程直播每日行程了。电视里有很多国际频道，不过小编没有看电视的习惯，具体有没有中文台还真不清楚。最不爽的还是蚊子，热带雨林气候嘛也没办法，每天早晨服务生打扫房间肯定要敞开门的，然后晚上就轮到我把它们挨个拍死，“哎，你不下地狱，还能是我下吗？”（图片转自网络）因为潜水日程是从第2天开始的，所以晚上也没什么事干，正好可以去泳池检查下相机潜水壳是否漏水。大泳池是正在装修扩建，不过还有一个小泳池，“没关系，只要有水就行！” 一开始检测当然不能放相机进去了，不然一旦漏水，连相机都遭殃了。把机壳和闪光灯的O-Ring 分别图上一层硅油，检查封闭后下水，哦也！一切正常！把潜水壳放回房间后，就是拿上PADI AOW的潜水证，NITROX 富氧许可证和一大袋子的潜水装备赶往酒店的潜水中心登记。很多朋友都说自己潜过水，但是却是无证，我只能告诉你，你那是体验潜水，费用昂贵而且只能潜到10米左右，水下真正的美景你根本感受不到。还是考一个潜水证吧，初级的4天就完事了，小编的进阶潜水证也只用多出两天时间，之后就能潜到40米，还能学会简单的安全技巧和浮力掌握知识，你说值不值呢？所有潜水装备，除了潜水电脑，潜水手电和相机外，都可以存在潜水中心，每天管理人员会帮你运到船上，装上“压缩21%氧气含量的空气金属气罐”，清洗，晒干；你唯一需要做的就是出发前检查物件是否齐全，检查氧气气压是否达 200大气压。检查完潜水证，填完登记表后，（其实就是证明没有疾病之类的）我还在潜水中心借了两本鱼类科普画册，这几天学一学没有坏处，希望这次看到的鱼类都能叫出名字。因为要潜至少8天，每天至少3潜，所以尽量不要重复潜点，除非偶尔几个真的是非常美丽，值得再去。根据本人的潜水经验，一般早晨8点开始出发，所以尽量早起吃多一点自助早餐，保证一上午的能量供应。一共两潜，潜点尽量安排在岛的东面，这样阳光可以斜射在珊瑚礁上，色彩会比较鲜艳，对于用鱼眼镜头拍摄大场面效果会非常好。中午12点回酒店，要立刻吃午餐。下午2点出发，这时太阳已经开始西下，所以去岛的西边吧，可以换成准镜头拍摄鱼类。夜潜一般在6点，可以把潜点安排在水下沙地和珊瑚礁潜点，这时虾兵蟹将都出动了，拿上你的微距镜头，手电和摄影灯吧，小生物的特写全靠这些装备了。记住每次潜水之后都要休息至少一个小时让身体排出氮气，一般就是坐在船上瞎聊，这时可以提前准备一些零食，比如香蕉，茶水之类的。小编每个早晨出海都会灌一壶红糖姜茶，不但可以补充能量，还能让大脑兴奋起来。Bunaken 本娜肯潜水点Lembeh Straits 蓝碧海峡潜水点前5天差不多都是在本娜肯岛周围潜水，此岛非常特殊，海下四周都是深不见底的悬崖，所以WALL DIVE可算是全球闻名。小编几乎全程按照摄影计划实施，偶尔也会迁就同船的日本潜友，去一些他们喜欢的潜点。每一潜都会有潜导带队，没队最多3人，绝对可以照顾的过来。潜导们对这里非常熟悉，跟我说海底就是他们的家，在家里找到想找的东西易如反掌。潜水第一天：潜点1.

从印度回来快两个月，直到现在我都无法用言语来准确的形容我对印度的感觉在国人眼里，印度与中国是那样的近，国土相连仅一山之隔然而，印度又是那样的遥远，由于两国之间缺少沟通和交流，我们对印度的认识仅仅局限在泰姬陵与恒河上印度这个古老神秘的东方大国，是个充满矛盾、一切都那么浓烈的神奇世界它历史悠久、民族混杂、文化纷呈、宗教众多，风光旖旎，人们热情内向……它人口众多、基础设施落后、卫生状况糟糕、贫富差距巨大、交通混乱不堪……你能在这里找到最好的东西，你也能在这里找到最坏的印度在每一个和它有过交集的人的生命里是不同的如果有人告诉你印度是多么多么地差劲，你要相信他；如果有人告诉你印度是多么多么地美好，你也要相信他现代与古代、奢华与贫穷、纵欲与禁欲、草率与效率、温和与粗暴、城市与村落，民主与种姓……印度的一切一切，是如此的不可思议印度的旅游宣传语是“Incredible India”在你不曾踏上过这片土地时，对这两个字显然不会有过分的认同感可当你真真地感受过印度之后，会发现，这个词，再合适不过你此时的心情北印，2个人，16天，8个城市，行程7000多公里心情，从最初的忐忑、警惕、紧张、害怕、茫然，到逐渐习惯印度的节奏，再到最后的不舍这就是超乎想象的印度这就是令人惊喜迷恋的印度这就是真实平和的印度这就是不可思议的印度很多时候，话到嘴边，却无力组织语言，就用照片的方式展现，那是瞬间无法用语言表达清楚的故事。有的时候，突然间因为某一件事、某一个人、某一个场景而感动，很想写出很多话，拿出来和朋友们分享。所以我和Amy（8264ID：斯里兰卡小妞）用文字和照片记录着北印旅行的一些点滴，更多的是表达我们俩个人在印度的感受。关于印度，不能简单用好与坏来表达，可能只有你真正站到那片土地，才能得到一个自己想要的答案。正如应该作家V.S.奈保尔所说“印度是不能被评判的,印度只能以印度的方式被体验”----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------第一部分：攻略1、关于行程2、关于印度证3、关于印度交通4、关于印度吃住5、关于货币及汇率6、关于印度消费水平和购物7、关于印度人和印度旅行注意事项第二部分：游记1、加尔各答，一切都是未知2、瓦拉纳西，地狱还是天堂3、德里，来去匆匆4、阿姆利则，锡克教的共产主义5、阿格拉，没落的辉煌6、泰姬陵，闪耀着的一滴爱的眼泪7、斋普尔，粉红色的回忆8、焦特布尔，寻找属于我的那片蓝9、乌代普尔,印度独一无二的浪漫10、再回德里，再会印度阿格拉，泰姬陵阿姆利则，金庙日出斋普尔，琥珀堡https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1546176-pid-25386809.html 关于行程当决定前往印度的那一刻起，到最后购买印度火车票止，我都在纠结印度的行程和每天安排。看着近300万平方公里的印度地图，除了起始的加尔各答，一切都是未知。看了很多关于印度的游记和攻略，鉴于印度的各种不靠谱和不确定因素，保险起见，我把目定在北印，选择一条最成熟、最传统的旅行路线。加尔各答（Kolkata）、德里（Delhi），一个起点，一个终点，必须要去。瓦拉纳西（VaranASI），阿格拉（Agra），一个印度教圣城，一个泰姬陵所在地，这两个城市也不能错过。剩下的就在拉贾斯坦的四色城、锡克教圣城的阿姆利则（Amritsar）、性都克久拉霍（Khajuraho）、佛教圣地菩提迦耶（Bodh Gaya）和库什那伽（Kushinagar）、喜马拉雅脚下的大吉岭（Darjeeling）中选择。因为行程只有短短16天，印度交通又不是很便捷，最后根据城市特点、历史意义和我的个人喜好选择了四色城中的粉城斋普尔（Jaipur）、蓝城焦特布尔（Jodhpur）、白城乌代普尔（Udaipur）和印巴边界的阿姆利则。行程中间紧两头松，尽量选择夜班火车，留出更多时间感悟印度。日程安排9.30

Lower）与下铺（Side Upper）两个铺位，拉上帘子成为一个独立的私密空间，既可以躺着看窗外的风景，也可以靠在隔断上看书。以前我看有评论说边铺不适合170cm以上的人，我试了一下，175CM以下的人躺下没有问，如果以后再去印度，我会选择边铺。提醒一点，尽量不要预订车厢头尾靠近车门的上铺，那里是空调的出风口，风很大很冷，而且脚下没有挡板，当脚伸出床外很容易被开关的车门碰到。关于火车的卫生状况，我觉得完全可以接受，火车上提供的床单和枕头套都是新洗干净的，乘坐AC3的印度乘客卫生意识也比较强，每天清晨都有乘务员来清扫车厢，所以我感觉至少不比国内硬卧车厢卫生状况差。曾经有朋友提到印度火车上老鼠、蟑螂到处跑，除了在去Jodpur的火车上看到一不明物体乱窜，在其他火车上没有看到任何老鼠和蟑螂，也没有蚊子，可能和乘务员喷洒杀虫剂有关。关于火车上饮食，我感觉参差不齐，大多时候是比较难吃的。印度火车上会有乘务员兜售各种饮料、水、茶、冰淇淋、素三明治及咖喱饭，但是质量因不同的列车公司而不同。晚餐是要提前预定的，有乘务员过来询问，一般8点之后开始提供，饭菜基本上都是两种咖喱（有的列车提供一荤一素，有的只提供素食），两张Naan和一份米饭。如果你错过的话，就只能忍饥挨饿了。我建议背包里最好放一些应急食品，以防万一，我在从Jaipur到Jodpur的火车上就不提供晚餐。关于行李寄存和防盗。很多人都对印度火车的盗窃现象描绘得很严重，其实一般来说，贵重物品放在身边，大件行李锁在铺下就没有问了，印度乘客也都是这么做的。火车站就有人兜售铁链和锁头，但是那个太重了，建议出发前在国内买那种小的线型密码锁就可以，整体来说AC3车厢安全状况还是值得信任的。车站CloakRoom提供寄存行李服务，每件行李10卢比一天。首先要填写一个寄存单，提供车票和护照，且每件行李必须要上锁，经工作人员核对后，便可以寄存。寄存行李也是一件考验你耐心的时候，除了工作人员每天有固定休息时间外，你还会经常会遇到一下子寄存十几件行李的乘客。关于火车站设施。火车站除了提供行李寄存服务，一般还都会提供不同等级的Waiting Room，而且还有女性专用的Lady's Waiting Room，进入休息室休息需要提供相等级的车票。休息室里有卫生巾，大的车站还提供Shower Room。虽然都是冷水淋浴，但是在炎热的印度，能冲个澡就已经很奢侈了。火车站大厅会有电子告示牌，提供各车次站台信息，站台也相应的有电子指示牌提供到站车次和车厢信息，不过最好还是和同站台的印度乘客确认一下。关于火车晚点，在印度我乘坐的6趟火车没有一次准点到站，大都晚点15分钟到半个小时，看来晚点是一个普遍现象，所以建议朋友们去印度旅行不宜把时间安排的过于紧凑，至少预留1小时的机动时间。印度火车到站是不报站名的，火车站扬声器里也都是印度语，所以以免坐过站，最好提前和同车的印度乘客打好招呼提醒你下车，我发现每一个印度乘客都能神奇的认出每一个车站。最后不得不提印度的“动车”，也就是日间行驶在各大城市之间的快车。它只提供空调座椅，并提供餐饮服务，所有费用包含着车票里。我在从德里到阿姆利则6个小时的火车上，乘务员在不停的提供饮品、小吃、甜点、正餐及冰淇淋，很遗憾当天我因为喝了过多的冰水而拉肚子，被Amy称作印度最好的咖喱饭和冰淇淋我都没有吃到，后悔后悔。汽车作为火车的补充，我在印度分别乘坐了几次汽车。长途客车一般来说长途客车分为官方和私人运营两种，两种都是可靠和值得信赖的。官方运营的车辆需要在各个城市的汽车站或者指定的售票处和网站购票，私人运营的购票则比较随意，多数旅店和旅行社都代售，比较方便。印度大多数长途客车都是没有空调的，车况尚可，但大多情况下都会超载。印度有一种比较特别的客车，就是坐铺和卧铺混合型的，底下是坐位，头顶是卧铺。拉贾斯坦邦运营着一些豪华的空调旅游大巴，车型主要是沃尔沃和奔驰，干净舒适，只是票价略贵，和火车卧铺接近。可以找旅行社通过网络预订，也可以自己到售票处购票。我在印度乘坐了两次长途客车，一次是从阿格拉前往斋普尔，还有一次是从焦特布尔到乌代普尔。去斋普尔是那种豪华大巴，舒适速度快，中间只靠站一次，方便乘客上厕所和吃饭。去乌代普尔则是普通的长途客车，虽然没有空调，但是开着车窗并不热，车内还算干净，不过该车几乎每个小城市都要停靠好久，路上浪费非常多的时间。短途客车一般连接大城市和周边地区，多数情况下在汽车站滚动发车，上车买票。有时你会发现他们的票价很随意，前后不一，不过你不用担心，一般差价也就是几卢比。汽车上基本都是印度文，上车前一定要确认好目的地。车型一般是中巴或者小巴，非常拥挤，超载严重。我从阿格拉去西格里乘坐了两次短途客车，座椅不是很舒服，车内也乱糟糟的，汽车走走停停，开的非常慢。公交车在印度的大城市有比较发达的公交系统，不过我也只是在斋普尔往返琥珀堡乘坐了两次，其余时候因为不了解如何乘坐，基本都是选择乘坐TUTU车。在德里、斋普尔有比较现代的公交车，有的还有空调，这些应该都是国营的公交车。同样还有很多小巴和中巴的私人公交车，这些车座位很少，腾出更大空间为了能装更多的乘客。出租车在印度机场和火车站外都会有预付费出租车，价格固定，虽然价格略高，但是免去和出租车司机讨价还价。先和柜台说明你要去的地址，工作人员便会报价，觉得没问就先付费，然后工作人员会给你一张收据，在外面便会有司机等候，中途不要将收据给司机，只有到了目的地才能给收据司机，收据是司机去得报酬的唯一凭证。印度的大街小巷里面穿梭着无数的TUTU车，这也是南亚、东南亚很多国家常见的市区活动代步工具。这些TUTU看似无法无天横冲直撞着，但是绝大多数情况下，还是比较安全的（除了让人崩溃的瓦拉纳西，那里随时都可能发生交通事故）。乘坐TUTU车之前先要确认好价格，一般情况下TUTU司机都会把价格开得很高，有时甚至会高的离谱，和这些TUTU司机砍价是最叫人崩溃的事情之一。除了确认好价格外，一定要说清楚去的地方地址，不到目的一般不要先付费，遇到黑心司机会见机投机取巧的。很多TUTU司机在你上车后不厌其烦推销旅店和纪念品店，他们都是为了拿回扣，如果不赶时间，去看看无妨，一般情况下还是要坚持不去。印度还有大量的人力三轮车，价格比TUTU车便宜，车夫都是一些年纪较大或者更贫苦的印度人，经常会被TUTU司机嘲笑。乘坐人力三轮车时候，我觉得不要把价格压得太低，或者给一些消费，这些卖体力的车夫是印度最底层的劳动者，非常辛苦。地铁德里和加尔各答都有地铁，乘坐很方便，乘坐方式和国内无异，对于交通混乱的印度，地铁绝对是一个便捷、便宜、快速的选择。不过，印度地铁站我感觉随时都像我们的早高峰，人山人海，非常拥挤，如果遇到素质低一些的印度人，推推搡搡，很使人恼火。印度地铁一般都有专门的女士车厢，偶尔你会在里面看到一些游客或者西方面孔男性乘客在里面。关于印度吃住吃印度的脏是出了名的，所以很多人担心印度食品的安全状况，再加上印度除了咖喱就是咖喱的传闻，对于爱吃的中国人来说，印度无疑是吃货的地狱，其实并不是这样。在印度半个多月，我和Amy没有因为吃造成腹泻，偶尔尝试了两次路边摊和当地人的小餐馆，我们都没有太大问，当然一般情况下我们首选还是看上去比较干净的餐馆。应该说，只要略加注意，不要刚到印度就去尝试马路摊点，应该不会有太大问。关于印度饮食的种类，印度和中国一样，国土面积大、民族多、信仰多，加上长时间的殖民历史，致使印度食物种类非常多，在印度菜单上我们除了看到印度本地特色的Thalis、Dosa、Butter Chicken、Biryani的食物，还能看到大量的Chinese Food、Korea Food、Isreal Food，并且同一种食物在不同城市做法、味道都差距很大。在印度可能使我不大习惯印度的饮食，一是宗教原因，大多餐馆只经营素食，而是印度饭菜口味比较重。在印度，80%以上都是印度教徒，加上严格吃素的佛教徒和耆那教徒，印度有半数以上的人素食主义者，毫不夸张的说，印度是素食王国。在很多城市，我根本无法找到任何经营肉食的餐馆，甚至一些西餐厅为了适应印度人饮食习惯会提供素汉堡和素披萨。印度大多地方天气比较热，为了增强食欲，他们的饭菜的口味都比较重，游客不太容易接受。住印度每个大城市几乎都有一个背包客聚集的地方，像位于新德里火车站对面的Main Bazzar、加尔各答的萨德街、瓦拉纳西的迷宫小巷、乌代普尔的皮丘拉湖周围等等，在这些地方高中低档住宿一应俱全，非常容易寻找。印度大多客栈房间提供电扇，少数房间提供制冷扇和空调，我感觉在拉贾斯坦、德里这些现对干燥的城市，电扇可以完全满足要求，而加尔各答、瓦拉纳西则显得潮湿闷热，最好还是选择有空调的房间。印度还有很多客栈不提供热水洗浴，只有冷水淋浴，就算有的客栈有电热水器，但因为年久失修，大都工作不正常，入住时一定要检查仔细。关于住宿预订，一般旅行我是不喜欢提前预定的，因为我觉得预订价格高而且没有办法看到房间实际情况。不过在印度的经历，我感觉，印度大多数客栈预订与实际谈价价格差别很小，因为很多客栈都是老板雇人经营，价格固定，店员没有办法给你什么优惠。热门客栈房间还是很紧张的，几乎每天都住满，还是提前预订好。关于货币及汇率印度货币是卢比，经观察可以支持几乎所有大国货币兑换，不过对比下来美元应该还是最合算的。印度支持私人货币兑换，你可以在所有游客集中的区域找到货币兑换店，有时候一些商店和珠宝店兼做货币兑换生意，他们给出的汇率要高于银行，所以不用非找银行兑换。不过很多私人兑换店只收面值为50和100的美元。注意，兑换货币时候，一定要问清有没有手续费、税费等，以免奸商钻空子。虽然按照兑换店老板所说汇率一直下跌，但是按照我的感觉，加尔各答的汇率最高，德里次之，最不划算的是阿格拉和阿姆利则，德里Main Bazzar内一家比较大的连锁兑换店给的人民币兑换汇率最高。加尔各答 1美元：53卢比（机场给的汇率是1美元：49多，还要收取手续费）瓦拉纳西 1美元：51.5卢比德里 1美元：51.8卢比（临回国时候，汇率为1美元：52卢比）阿姆利则 1美元：51卢比阿格拉 1美元：51卢比斋普尔 1美元：51.5卢比焦特布尔 1美元：51.5卢布一般情况下，一个城市正式的货币兑换店间给的汇率几乎一样，砍价基本上都没有用。关于印度消费水平和购物作为一个大国，印度物价极其便宜，可能因为印度并不算是一个旅游大国，商店、餐馆面对的更多是本国消费者，所以所有价格转换成人民币你都会觉得便宜的要死，我在德里就眼看到两个西方女孩一人抱买了五六条毛毯带走。印度很多商品也都是全国统一定价，价格就直接印在包装上，不用担心被黑心摊贩所要高价。在印度没有超市，但你随时都能找到各种市场，这里既经营老百姓日常生活所需的油盐酱醋茶，又经营各种衣服、鞋帽、日用品，在印度购物你不会觉得太困难。对于喜欢手工艺品和异域风情服饰的人来说印度绝对是购物天堂，这里充满印度特色的各种商品加上便宜的价格令人无法抗拒。其实除了德里、阿格拉和拉贾斯坦，我却很少看到旅游纪念品商店，那些经营本地特色商品的商店主要面对的是本地人，所以老板开价一般都不高。对于各城市商品价格，我感觉差距不是很大，尤其是常见的印度服饰、鞋、大理石雕刻、木雕等，不过各城市还有有一些自己独特的东西，譬如阿格拉的大理石刻、焦特布尔的木雕和香料、乌代普尔的细密画和皮具等。关于印度人及印度旅行注意事项很多人说印度人比较坏，尤其是对中国人不友善，经过半个多月的北印旅行，我感觉其实也不是这样的。大多数印度人给人感觉不容易接近，他们一般面无表情的注视着游客，当你冲他们微笑，他们也木然的盯着你，给人一种很凶的感觉，其实经过接触你会发现他们只是羞涩和好奇，不苟言笑，不像尼泊尔和兰卡人那么热情，但是当你有事真的向他们求救，他们会非常乐意帮忙。几次乘车时，我和印度人聊天，他们对中国也毫无敌意，对中国或多或少都有所了解，并且很多人都很有自知之明，认为中国远比印度发达。可能这就是一个民主国家，老百姓可以通过各种媒介了解外面的世界。对于印度的注意事项，LP上作为重点用很大篇幅来介绍印度旅行会遇到的骗局，只要你充分做了攻略，这些老旧的骗局已经完全赶不上世界的发展，只要稍加注意便可以避免。唯一叫人感到最麻烦的就是和每个城市的TUTU司机打交道，他们会利用一切机会来投机取巧，从中获得一点小利，哪怕你给他的价格已经很高了。对于应付TUTU司机我也没有很好的方法，人生地不熟，总能叫他们得到机会，记住一点就好了，一切费用上车前全部谈好，不到目的地坚决不付钱。其它方面，饮食上要注意，尽量不要食用路边食物，饮水尽量喝瓶装水，印度天气炎热，注意防晒和补水，不要去招惹印度的流浪狗，注意防盗等等就好了。对于打疫苗我感觉全凭自己需要，打了安心，不打也没有问，并不像报道的那样这里有着各种传染病。总体来说，印度远没有大家想象的那么差，虽然它很贫穷、它很落后、它脏乱差，但是这些和印度所带给你的各种心灵震撼比完全是微不足道的。瓦拉纳西，恒河晨浴焦特布尔，梅兰加尔下的那片蓝乌代普尔，城市宫殿与皮丘拉湖阿格拉，夕阳下的阿格拉堡加尔各答，维多利亚宫德里，红堡加尔各答，一切都是未知在决定去印度旅行那一刻起，我就不断地否定自己，是不是这个决定做的过于草率和盲目这种不安心情有点像我第一次背包旅行，一切都是那么的不确定尽管读了大量的攻略、做了最详细的计划、甚至订好了每一段的车票“不可思议的印度”俨然变成“按部就班的印度”但是我的心里还是忐忑不安，不敢畅想这接下来几个未知的日子当飞机缓缓降落的那刻起，我的心才开始兴奋起来-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2012.9.30Kolkata到达加尔各答已经是晚上12点飞机上广播着当地的天气，34度的气温和80%的湿度，叫从中国北方来的我咋舌加尔各答国际机场并不大，设施简单，不过服务到位，停机坪到入境大厅也就百米距离，却有摆渡车接送外籍人入境窗口排队的只有我们十几个中国游客，看样子来印度，尤其是加尔各答的中国人非常少办理手续很简单，没有遇到曾经网上提到过的刁难、索贿等现象，只是办事人员严肃表情的叫你畏惧顺利入关拿到托运行李后就去兑换卢比机场只有两个货币兑换窗口，汇率一样，且都要收取手续费我只换了30美元，保证当晚的坐车和住宿，机场给的汇率太低了预订加尔各答住宿时候咨询机场接站需要700Rs，和房费差不多，后来放弃这个想法在很多攻略里提到印度的机场、车站都有正规的预付费出租车（Pre-Pay Taxi），安全且明码价找到预付费出租车柜台，服务人员告诉我们，到Royd街只要230Rs远远低于网上说的400Rs，刚刚那种挨宰的感觉立刻抛之脑后，欣然接受打印出来的票面上有你要去的目的地和出租车车牌号切记不到目的地，不要把车票给出租车司机，这是他们回来拿钱的唯一凭证，LP上有讲各种乘车骗局出了机场大门，就有大量出租车司机蜂拥上来，争问着我要去哪里给他们看了眼手里的车票，他们指着远处的亭子便散开了那个亭子是预付费出租车管理亭，里面没有电灯，黑漆漆一片服务员拿过车票，借着路灯光亮做了记录，叫我们在亭外等着不一会一辆出租车开过来当我确认上车后，一个黑瘦的服务员问我要10美金做小费，我摇摇头说没有他又要100Rs说是车费，我拿着票说已经付过了，他才很不情愿的放弃出了机场，出租车在路上飞驰窗外建筑低矮破旧、灯光昏暗，汽车在坑挖的道路上无序的穿来穿去景色和加德满都何等的相似车开了半个多小时，还没有一丁点大城市的感觉没有见到高楼大厦、也没有见到宽阔的道路汽车在狭窄的巷子里穿梭，两边都是凌乱不堪的房子偶尔能看到有人横七竖八的睡在街边只是灯光亮了许多经过数次打听总算到了我预定的Sunflower Guest House下车后先看到三个同机的中国朋友，她们正无助的转来转去原来客栈大门已关，这里也没有前台，只有一个服务员睡在电梯边，但她们呼唤了半天，服务员没有半点醒意思不得已，Amy推醒那个服务员，询问他在哪里Check in，我们预定了房间服务员指指电梯，然后又好似睡去我们几个人无奈的自己开了电梯门，发现这个古董电梯我们根本不会用足足一分钟后，那个服务员，总算睡眼惺忪的进来了，话也不说，开始操作电梯到了顶层，服务员叩开一间房门，叫醒地上睡着的另外两个服务员就这样，在闷热的房间里，花了1个小时，总算是完成check in，印度人做事太磨蹭了不过我们还是幸运的另一队朋友预订信息却找不到，不过好在还有空房，所以朋友们如果去印度预定酒店，一定要在出发前确认好，印度人做事有时太不靠谱加尔各答住宿较贵，我们订的是比较便宜的房间，房间狭小，窗户也是朝着楼梯间，不过还算干净现在已经都北京时间凌晨5点了，我足足24小时没有合眼，洗了个澡很快睡去不知道怎么一个天明迎接我们 2012.10.1Kolkata可能旅途劳累，一觉睡到闹表响收拾好行李退房，把大包寄存开始了加尔各答简短的一天行程出发前查攻略发现来加尔各答旅行的人很少就算来到加尔各答也是短暂的中转对加尔各答的描述基本都是没有意思所以我计划只在这里停留一天，然后乘晚上火车前往瓦拉纳西不过人算不如天算今天我本计划去维多利亚纪念馆、印度博物馆，但是没想到周一这两个地方全都闭馆最后我和Amy决定先前往维多利亚纪念馆看看，哪怕只看看外表曾经有人这样描述印度----印度肮脏、混乱、贫穷的场景让他一刻也不愿意停留出了客栈大门，我却感觉眼前的景色反而很亲切炙热的太阳、穿梭的TUTU、五颜六色的建筑、肤色黝黑的行人、甚至空气中的气息，都像极兰卡Royd街没有给我任何肮脏、混乱的感觉，反而觉得很悠闲当我们拐出Royd街，加尔各答变成另一个模样，嘈杂、繁忙、混乱街道交织纵横，拿着地图也很难分辨路的方向我和Amy沿着Park St边问边往维多利亚纪念馆方向走路两边巍然耸立着的古老宏伟的英式殖民建筑，路上行人行色匆匆加尔各答，印度最大的城市，现西孟加拉邦的首府，一个拥有1500万人口的大城市加尔各答曾作为英国殖民时期印度首府，一直是英国在印度统治的中心，拥有300多年的历史不过，现在这座城市里稍微端庄一点的建筑物均是英国人的遗产，当年的总督府、法院、中央银行，以及志性的维多利亚纪念馆等等这条通往维多利亚纪念馆的大路叫做尼赫鲁大街公路一侧非常繁华，银行、酒店、商场、饭店比比皆是公路另一侧栅栏里就是麦丹广场，但栅栏外却是大片的垃圾场麦丹广场（Maidan）被人们称为“加尔各答之肺”它是由一块巨大的草坪组成的巨大广场，整个广场树木葱茏，鸟语花香很多当地人来这里散步、野餐或乘凉，还有很多孩子在这里骑马、打板球整个环境宁静和谐，这一切的确与先前所耳闻的印度脏乱差情景有着很大的反差穿过麦丹广场就能看到马路对面的一栋白色建筑这就是维多利亚纪念馆（Victoria Memorial）当我看到它第一眼时就被那这座建筑惊呆了整座白色宫殿矗立在绿草地上，仿佛一艘荡漾在碧波上的白船，高资典雅不过很不走运，我到的当天正值维多利亚纪念馆的休息日，只能参观外围公园即使这样，整座建筑也叫外人唏嘘不已维多利亚纪念馆始建于1901年融合了文艺复兴时期和伊斯兰风格，并融汇了英国、意大利和印度的建筑及雕刻技艺的白色宫殿是加尔各答最美丽的建筑物维多利亚纪念馆的建造目的是为了庆祝维多利亚女王结婚60周年这座见证爱情的建筑如今成为印度青年男女约会的圣地纪念馆前绿草茵茵、碧波荡漾，游客悠闲地漫步湖边清洁的水泥小路上整个维多利亚纪念馆真是美不胜收站在维多利亚纪念馆湖边，可远眺加尔各答市区的高楼整个环境宁静和谐，远离了印度城市的喧嚣和肮脏出了维多利亚纪念馆，已经时至中午加尔各答地处热带，本就潮湿闷热，加上中午太阳炙烤体力透支的我和Amy没有了继续往前走的兴致匆匆看了一眼圣保罗大教堂，便往萨德街走攻略上说萨德街距维多利亚纪念馆只有步行二十分钟的距离我们以印度博物馆为坐，边打听边走，其实就是沿原路返回可是这次我觉得路途好远，麦丹广场好大在烈日下狂走半个小时，总算找到印度博物馆周一，和维多利亚纪念馆一样关门休息据称这里是印度藏品最丰富的纪念馆，没有能进去参观非常遗憾印度，真是放着的钱也不赚印度博物馆外是一片嘈杂的市场主要经营的本地服装、鞋帽、日用品如同天津的大胡同、北京的动物园、上海的七浦路等等过了印度博物馆很快就找到了萨德街这条街两侧如同两个世界一侧是学校、咖啡馆、旅店和小商店，另一侧却是贫民窟这些印度最底层的老百姓在墙根屋檐下搭一块塑料布，地上摆着破旧的锅碗，墙上挂着几个塑料袋他们就在污水横流的街边埋锅煮饭，而空气中弥漫着一股腥臊恶臭的气息这就是他们的栖身之地，有点惨不忍睹萨德街路口处的黄包车我来萨德街的目的就是为了换钱和吃饭不过这次又偏离了目看着岔路口远处的繁华，我离开萨德街，进入了一片非常大市场这里从高科技的数码产品到服装、化妆品、工艺品、食品应有尽有街道中间则被小吃摊、小商贩摆的各种摊位所占据不过这里却找不到想找的货币兑换店和像样的餐馆离开这片嘈杂的市场返回萨德街这条东西方向的小街才是背包客聚集地街内布满了各式各样的旅馆、餐馆、网吧、及外汇兑换店在这里可以看到行行色色的各国的游客问了几家货币兑换店汇率都是一样，想还价也都遭到拒绝这就是国情的差异，同样是私人的货币兑换，却都是固定汇率换完钱后就是解决午餐初来乍到，还真不敢尝试印度街边的食物最后找到一家非常干净的小饭店点了在兰卡常吃的鸡肉炒饭和很多人攻略里推荐的印度黄油鸡美美午餐一顿餐后我和Amy计划前往泰戈尔故居和胡戈里河我们来到尼赫鲁大街，发现大量的游行队伍高举着镰刀斧头旗帜，我们陷入了红色的海洋加尔各答是印度共产主义的强大基地印度**控制的左翼阵线在西孟加拉邦连续执政达30年，是世界上执政时间最长的民主选举的**政府下到Esplande地铁站完全叫人窒息售票窗口排满了人，这和中国早晚高峰无异而且整个地铁站没有空调和电扇，闷热无比商量后，我们决定放弃前往其它地方，只在萨德街附近闲逛，好好休息，晚上还要坐一宿火车这一大片区域就是加尔各达著名的New Market，已经有150年的历史是加尔各答最繁华的商业区New Market周围都是各种古老雄伟的殖民建筑下午的市场更加热闹随着人流漫步其间，不由得感叹，加尔各达真是个充满生活气息的城市就这样走走停停在New Market周围耗了整整一下午时间几乎走遍每一条街道市场是有各种各样出售民族服饰和纪念品的摊点明码价，非常便宜因为这些都不是为游客准备的晚饭后，我们返回客栈取行李因害怕路上耽搁，晚上8点的火车，不到6点我们就出发了出了门就开始空难重重拦下路边的TUTU车，司机一听去火车站，直接摇头不去不得已，我们又步行到Park St看着飞驰的出租车，我们根本打不到，或者说不知道怎么打车路两边高高的栏杆围着，伸手招呼出租车，出租车司机根本就看不到不得已我们背着大包在Park St两侧窜来窜去，如热锅上的蚂蚁最后总算强行拦下一辆出租车出租车离开繁华的Park St，沿着麦丹广场往北开驶过宏伟的维多利亚宫和威廉古堡后，道路变的极其拥堵，而且毫无秩序汽车走走停停，经过近一个小时的爬行，终于看到了灯火通明的大桥我本计划白天来胡各里河上参观豪拉大桥和加尔各答城的如今在夜幕下的河两岸显得异常安静，只有星星点点一些灯光倒影到是豪拉大桥上灯火辉煌，车火马龙、热闹非凡过了大桥,那座宏伟的红色建筑便是豪拉火车站这里更是难以名状的拥挤，出租车把站前广场和进站口挤得水泄不通经过一翻奋战，终于进了车站大厅站在来回涌动的滚滚人流中，我再一次感到窒息这里的人已经不能用多来形容放眼望去，视力能及的地方都是人，唯一的一点空隙也都有人在穿梭印度火车站是不需要检票便可以进入的，也不需要安检，更没有什么车站工作人员一般情况下都是自己去电子提示牌看火车停靠站台在这种场景下，我有些不知所措哪里有问讯处？哪里有休息室？哪里有电子提示牌？我的眼里只剩下人好在时间尚早，我和Amy边打听边找站台后来总算找到几个军人问清了我们所乘火车的站台我和Amy坐在站台一角，看着穿梭不息的人群，不由得恐惧我们从来就没有见过这么多人哪怕中国春运和这里比也是小巫见大巫可这却是印度火车站的常态回想起这短短一天的加尔各答之行，心中感触还是蛮深的很多人把加尔各答比作上海同样是位于一条大河的入海口，临江望海，鱼米之乡，却在帝国主义的炮舰胁迫下开放通商作为曾经王朝的首都，经济、文化、交通的中心这里拥有许多哥特式建筑、巴洛克建筑、罗曼式建筑、东方式和伊斯兰建筑这里诞生了不少世界知名的诗人、思想家印度有五位诺贝尔获奖者来自加尔各答但是随着社会的发展逐渐沉沦，并成为印度的一个缩影巍然耸立的欧式建筑、富丽堂皇的酒店商铺与狭窄昏暗的街道、数不清的贫民窟交织在一起1500万的人口已经成为这个城市的负担我们留给加尔各答的时间太短了，多少有些遗憾在加尔各答有很多事情可以去做，而不像很多攻略中提到的“毫无看头”离开加尔各答的时刻终于要到了我随着熙熙攘攘的人流，匆忙窜上火车，恐怕错过一样我的下一个目的地----瓦拉纳西那里是最脏乱差的印度那里还是最精彩的印度瓦拉纳西，地狱还是天堂如果你问我去印度旅行一定不要错过哪里，我会告诉你瓦拉纳西如果你问我印度哪个城市最有特点，我会告诉你瓦拉纳西如果你问我对印度哪个城市印象深刻，我还会告诉你瓦拉纳西对于所有来印度旅行的旅行者来说瓦拉纳西似乎永远是一个让人纠结又恨又爱的地方这里是浓缩的印度在这里你能发现印度最糟糕的一面在这里你还会发现印度最精彩的一面--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2012.10.2Varanasi早上不到八点我就在嘈杂的火车上醒来一路上火车晃荡的厉害，我睡睡醒醒，但整体来说睡的不错坐在铺位上望着窗外印度不像中国，大片的荒地，几乎看不到人活动的痕迹火车不出意料的晚点了当火车穿过恒河，我知道瓦拉纳西就在眼前了加尔各答火车站人山人海的场面，回想起来我还心有余悸对于瓦拉纳西做好了充足的心理准备瓦拉纳西是出了名的脏乱城市那些令人畏惧的关于记录恒河的图片和纪录片几乎都是在瓦拉纳西拍的十点多我挤下火车火车站候车大厅地上同样躺满了人，与加尔各答何等的相似这样的场景让我一分钟都不想停留匆匆离开火车站出了车站，很快就我们就被一TUTU司机缠上，不停的告诉我他是司机，可以推荐便宜的旅馆我一边摆着手说着谢谢不需要，一边往预付费出租车站走TUTU司机貌似看出我的心思，一边给我指路，一边告诉我他也是预付费车站的出租车司机看着车站排着长长的队伍，我有些犹豫，就和那个TUTU司机商量到老城的价格最终60Rs成交，这个价格略高于攻略中的价格，还算合理TUTU司机把我们带到他的TUTU车上，问我有没有Guide Book我把手中的LP给他，他一边翻着书一边问我是不是韩国人我就顺口说是啊，TUTU司机立刻用韩语问我好，我也学着用韩语回答着这时TUTU司机翻开瓦拉纳西的地图，告诉我Assi Ghat附近有多么多么好多么多么便宜酒店，而且那里有很多韩国人由于那里离我想去的老城很远，我拒绝了，并要求到老城的Ganga Fuji Guest House司机说那里路很窄，TUTU进不去，然后继续和我说他要带我去的酒店有多么多么好我对迷宫小巷早有耳闻，TUTU车进不去，但是那里住宿集中，离Main Ghat也近，我依然坚持到老城的Ganga Fuji最后司机不太情愿的同意了其实我并没有预订瓦拉纳西的住宿选择Ganga Fuji是网上推荐并且说那里是迷宫小巷的地性建筑，当地人都知道我和Amy准备到了那再找合适住宿TUTU车冲出车站天气很热，加上气候干燥，整个城市笼罩在灰尘之中瓦拉纳西的路不算宽，遍地垃圾自行车、汽车、摩托车、人力三轮车随意在路上行驶着，车速非常快这里的交通可以用无序来形容我们的TUTU车画着之子在车流中穿梭TUTU司机用印度英语和我聊着天我几乎听不懂，Amy给我翻译着TUTU司机说很多和我们一样来瓦拉纳西的旅行者，都说自己是韩国人但是经过交流发现这些人根本不是韩国人，因为他们说的话根本不像韩语这些旅行者要么是日本人，要么是中国人，要么是来自台湾我偷偷把中文的攻略盖上，小声和Amy说，咱们俩说话后面要加上“思密达”吧后面发生了惊险的一幕司机一边和我们聊着天，一边开着TUTU车，车速飞快这时前面一辆小汽车突然刹车，TUTU司机一看要追尾，立刻向右一拐与此同时后面窜上来一辆摩托车，直接撞在我们的TUTU上摩托司机站起来，怒目而视，嚷嚷起来只见TUTU司机指着前面的小汽车，也大吼起来，好像是说前面汽车急刹车我也没办法，只能躲他，撞到你你认倒霉吧看样子可能要打起来就在我惊魂未定的时候，TUTU司机一踩油门离开肇事地点然后TUTU司机回过头和我继续聊着先前话，仿佛没有发生任何事情这就是印度混乱的交通，这就是不可思议的印度TUTU司机把我们拉倒加油站，说要加油然后找我要60Rs，说他早晨没有挣到钱，叫我先付了车费，然后一个劲的说No problem，会把我们送到，叫我放心我感觉这个司机很热情，而且我也不能太不信任别人，我就替他付了油钱后面TUTU司机一样边开车边给我们介绍着瓦拉纳西，告诉我们每一个地方的特点，依然很热情TUTU车开了很久，却不见任何城市热闹的场景，反而越走越荒凉不久TUTU车拐进一条小巷，然后停下来，告诉我下车，里面开不进去了我以为这就是迷宫小巷，连忙道谢TUTU司机叫我们跟着他，说他带我们去Ganga Fuji我和Amy将信将疑的跟着TUTU司机把我们带进到一个居民楼下，说这里就是Ganga Fuji，然后边招呼我们边和客栈老板用印地语交流着我们站在门口发现这里没有任何牌子Amy机警的问客栈老板这是Ganga Fuji吗？老板含糊的说是然后客栈老板问我们住什么样的房间，我们说先看看房间情况再决定老板带我们上楼看房间，Amy和我还是很疑惑，这么有名的客栈不可能没有牌匾啊这家客栈房间倒是宽敞、干净，有的房间还可以眺望到恒河，空调间750Rs不过我和Amy还是非常怀疑这个客栈的身份，决定再看看离开时，Amy和老板要名片，老板说已经发完了出了门，Amy到隔壁问这家客栈名字，邻居也说不清楚我们确信这是假冒的Ganga Fuji，决定自己找TUTU司机看我们要离开就一直纠缠着我们当我们打听路，他会用印地语和对方说着什么，好像阻止对方给我们指路当我们决定往小巷的某一侧走的时候，他总是说路不对，然后指引我们往相反的方向走最后把我逼的忍无可忍，大吼着把他赶走这就是来到印度厚我们遇到的第一件不愉快的事情因为我提前付了钱，这个TUTU司机就没有把我们带到我们要去的老城，而是把我们带到了能收取回扣的客栈这里位置非常偏远，应该在Assi Ghat附近，正常情况下很少有游客到这边的打发走了TUTU司机，我和Amy边打听边往沿着恒河往城里走这时候已经时至中午，潮湿闷热的瓦拉纳西很快叫我们两人都感到虚脱最后在一条小巷找到了网上推荐过的OM Guest House（阿木之家）和久美子（kumiko Guest House）我们先到OM，这里房间虽然很简陋，也没有空调和热水淋浴，但是体力透支使我们不想在背着大包去其它地方，决定就住在这里OM不知道是不是韩国人经营的旅店，这里住满了韩国游客而隔壁的久美子却是日本旅行者的聚集地舒舒服服的冲了个冷水澡，饥热交迫使我们顾不得去什么恒河，随便到门口一家餐馆填饱肚子饭后，我们沿着小巷主路去逛恒河和迷宫小巷在印度，印度教信徒终生怀有4大乐趣----住瓦拉纳西、结交圣人、饮恒河水、敬仰湿婆神其中有三个都要在瓦拉纳西实现瓦拉纳西因为独特的地理位置成为了印度教徒眼中唯一的圣城,享有“印度之光”的称号瓦拉纳西原名贝拿勒斯（Benares），相传6000年前由婆罗门教和印度教主神之一的湿婆神所建早在公元前4至6世纪，这里已是印度的学术中心，并在此诞生了印度另一古老的宗教耆那教公元前5世纪，释迦牟尼在瓦拉纳西西北10公里处的鹿野苑首次公开讲经传教公元7世纪，唐僧玄奘到此游历朝圣，并写下著作《大唐西域记》美国作家马克·吐温当年来这里讲学时，幽默地称这座城市“比历史古老，比传统古老，甚至比传说还要古老。它看起来比所有这一切加起来还要老上两倍多”。由此可见，瓦拉纳西不仅在印度、甚至在全世界上来讲，都是一座沉淀了丰厚历史与文化的名城不过我对瓦拉纳西的第一印象却是肮脏、拥挤、狭窄、杂乱无章街道两旁的建筑像快要倒塌一样，压得人喘不过气来小巷阴森恐怖，地上遍布牛粪、狗屎、垃圾，腥臭扑鼻神牛、野狗还有猴子会随时出现在你面前，阻挡你前行的方向摩托车、自行车却在不足2米宽拥挤的小巷内飞奔着男人毫不避讳外人就在街边蹲着小便可以说瓦拉纳西比你能想象的最脏乱的情景还要脏乱上两倍对于眼前的现状，我几乎丧失了继续待下去的兴趣，希望快点离开瓦拉纳西相对我的恐慌，Amy却欣然接受了眼前的一切她说这混乱、肮脏、无序的环境，充满了生活的气息，与这个城市的神圣与信仰形成了鲜明的对比对于瓦拉纳西的混乱，我几乎没有去拍，或者说那时那景我几乎不知道如何去拍照几经辛苦终于来到恒河边上阴沉沉的天气下，恒河显得异常浑浊，岸边的淤泥里沉积着所有能想象到的腐烂物河里有人在畅快的沐浴祷告，野牛和野狗在河边淤泥里找着食物，僧人在河边打坐冥思，河中偶尔有船只飘过纵然我做了充分心理准备，对于眼前的场面怎么也不能和神圣挂钩离开热闹的Dasaswamedh Ghat，返回迷宫小巷，去寻找金庙、著名的Blue Lassi和Scindhia Ghat瓦拉那西最著名的印度教寺庙金庙坐落迷宫小巷中，附近有大量警察和士兵把守因为供奉的是湿婆神，这里人气极其旺盛，每天都有大量信徒排队进入进入参观是不允许携带背包、相机、手机等物品，搜查极其严格看到长长的队伍，我们再次选择放弃过了金庙往前就是著名的Blue Lassi，LP上极力推荐，各国游客慕名而来这家蓝色的开凿在墙上的小店，出售不同口味的Lassi，纯手工制作，很有特点，是我在印度吃的最好吃的Lassi由于攻略中错误，我误以为Scindihia Ghat是焚尸河阶经过不停打听找到Scindihia Ghat，这里只有大量沐浴的人群看焚尸场面，应该说是来瓦拉纳西必做的事情之一印度教徒坚信凡在恒河死亡火化并把骨灰撒入恒河，可免受轮回之苦，直接升入天堂所以很多觉得即将死亡的老人会来到瓦拉纳西等待死亡而焚尸台每天也约有200多具尸体在此焚化，一天24小时都不停歇真正的焚尸河阶叫做Manikarnika Ghat，在Scindihia Ghat边当我们到达Scindihia不久天空便飘起小雨我们不得不放弃去Manikarnika的计划离开Scindihia，返回客栈休息，等着晚上恒河夜祭到瓦拉纳西必须要做的第二件事就是观看恒河夜祭每天晚上七点在恒河边的Dasaswamedh Ghat都要举行拜祭河神的仪式印度教徒以此感恩于恒河所赐予的一切，以示对恒河的崇敬这个流传千年的祭典沿袭每天都在这里上演，风雨不改我们到的较晚，台阶上、祭台前后、河边的船上已经都坐满了信众与游人Dasaswamedh Ghat回荡着悠扬的颂歌声整个夜祭过程是祭司用整齐、徐缓、不断重复的动作，并和着悠扬的吟唱仪式上共五种法器，每换一种法器，致敬程序基本相同，礼敬仪式都分别朝东南西北各做一遍祭司都必须是年轻纯正婆罗门氏，通过吟唱、舞蹈等表演，让人体会到宗教仪式的魔力([]

张晴明

尼泊尔被称为高山之国，境内的喜马拉雅山被誉为世界屋脊，世界上14座海拔8000米以上的山峰中有8座诞生于这里。在这里徒步穿越，既可以走得如驴子般的自虐，也可以雇上挑夫，过得如王子般的享受。而此次的尼泊尔行，我们的主要目的就是徒步喜马拉雅南坡安娜普纳ABC。以至于进入尼泊尔的第二天，就迫不及待的奔赴博卡拉，走上ABC. 都说尼泊尔是登山爱好者的乐园。那里有多条成熟的登山健行的路线：你可以去挑战雪山；也可以只花3、4天在山间转转，远眺喜玛拉雅群山；有兴趣有时间的话，还可以用20多天走个大环线。其中徒步安娜普纳登山大本营（即Annapurna Base Camp，简称ABC），无疑最具诱惑力。老C长我两岁，我们都是老三届，都已经从领导岗位退了下来，都喜欢户外运动，登山骑车、徒步健行，虽年已花甲，却自认为体能不让后生。两老驴是首次结伴驴行,岁数合计122岁,自称KC组合,呵呵,幸好偶不叫老王老魏老吴老温,不然就成了WC组合。一路行来，所遇登山驴友，几乎都是雇用背夫负担装备，没有几个是自己重装徒步的。在国产驴友中，60花甲，自己背负全套装备，重装完成ABC徒步的，也许只是凤毛麟角。不是想节约几个钱，只是想找那种感觉，证明一下---我能。时间：2010年1月19日--26日路线：Nayapul--ABC（即Annapurna Base Camp，安娜普纳登山大本营）--Nayapul 装备：睡袋、冲锋衣裤、抓绒衣裤、速干内衣、登山鞋、手套、帽子、墨镜、头灯、手机、书本地图；笔记本电脑、两部相机、三套备用电池、四套充电器，电源转换头，多联接线插板，摄影独角架；若干食品、饮料、糖、酒，总之70升背包填得满满的。 1月23日，当我们冒雪抵达海拔4130米的ABC营地，在客栈餐厅里，满墙驴友的留言涂鸦中，贴上第三张用汉字书写的留言时，心理获得极大的满足。需要特别说明的是，俩老驴目不识丁（外文盲），刚刚认得ABC，竟然敢走ABC。对于我们来说，登山体能没有问，最大的困难是语言不通，无法交流。于是在博卡拉请个中文翻译做向导，带俩聋子和哑巴上路。没有请背夫，那装备就自己背上了，因为在国内登山都是如此，还没有奢侈到那种程度。何况来了，就是为了体验那种重装徒步喜马拉雅的感觉。 27岁的小吴，具有二分之一的中国血统。他是我们住在博卡拉峨眉饭庄老板的儿子，瘦高的个子，非常腼腆，汉语说的并不十分流利。他父亲说他是博卡拉唯一的中文向导，佣金自然就较英文向导高些，物以稀为贵吗。头天在博卡拉办理了进山证，是小吴领到办事地点，大门有人执勤，不让当地向导进入。我们俩老外，面对工作人员的热情招呼，竟只能靠手势交流。两张表格，还是又拿到外面让小吴找人代填的，至此才发现，我们的翻译也是文盲，只会说不会写。填表，帖照片，交2000卢比，发证盖章，***非常顺利。早饭后，乘车前往徒步出发地Nayapul，距博卡拉约60多公里，吴老板说通往那里的公路，就是中国援建的，当时他是援建公司的尼泊尔语翻译。（我在想：这语言能沟通，令吴翻译钩到了尼泊尔MM。然后留在那里成家立业）。想象中的Nayapul应该是个比较繁华的地方，因为来安娜普纳登山的都要在这里进山或出山。下车的路边是排简陋的板房，卖些小食品，石砌泥糊的灶台，青烟缕缕。沿板房间的石阶下山到河边，走过铁索桥，以后山里过河基本上都是铁索桥，无惊无险。桥边有长着黑白羽毛的鸭子在溜达，心想这异国的鸭子也是异样的。路过第一个检查站，查验登山证件，盖章放行。尼泊尔的徒步登山旅游开放有近百年的历史，管理服务确实是做得非常周到。尼泊尔的徒步旅游非常成熟和完善，几乎每走1--2个小时就会遇到一个落脚点，可以食宿休整，所以大家尽可根据自己的体力和节奏，安排出自己的徒步计划。而每处客栈都整洁干净，布满了鲜花。每个客栈都有这样的图示，识出你当前所在的位置，以及各个站点之间徒步所需的时间，一目了然。这些建于数十年前的石头砌的台阶，高度与宽度正好能将背包靠住，非常的人性化。我们的背包有20公斤重，第一天就重装爬升了1000多米，喜欢那种出大力，流大汗的感觉。午餐一般我们吃的是炒米饭，或炒面条。晚上收工后，会拿出背来的物资，煮点奶茶，吃几颗花生米，喝两杯烧酒。尼泊尔地处喜马拉雅山脉南坡，从海拔8848米的世界第一高峰珠穆朗玛到海拔只有50米的平原，落差巨大。正是这种巨大的海拔落差以及印度洋的暖湿气流造就了尼泊尔独特的迷人景观：海拔8000米以上的高大雪峰和海拔不足1000米的绿色梯田可以同时出现在你的视野之中。这里有雪山，有瀑布，有象国内川西一样的丰沛流水，有象云南一样的茂密植被。当你徒步穿越美丽的溪流、峡谷，来到远离城市尘嚣的偏僻山村，巨大的海拔高差带来的视觉上的震撼，而垂直分布引起的迥异的景色又给人强烈的虚幻的感觉。视觉的享受和心灵的愉悦，会令你为他们那传统的田园生活唏嘘不已。来到尼泊尔，如果没有徒步喜马拉雅，那将会是件很遗憾的事情。在安娜普纳徒步有着非常成熟的线路，有4天的小环，有8天的ABC，还有21天的大环线。沿途的小村庄很多，配套设施都做得很好。一路上的客栈都可以提供各种便利，几乎每走1-2小时路程，就会遇到像样的客栈。提供食宿，干净舒适，完全没有那种攀登野山，风餐露宿，饥寒交迫的现象。为此：来到尼泊尔，徒步高山，那将又是件很幸福的事情。遇有村镇，会聚集着十几家甚至几十家客栈，一般房价在200-400卢比/天左右。客栈虽然简陋，但绝不乏整洁优雅，服务周到。山区里不通公路，全靠驴驮人背。物价随着海拔的升高，逐渐上涨，确也合情合理。尼泊尔人习惯于头顶背负东西，感觉人家颈椎很硬。海拔2000米左右的山里，植被茂盛。穿行在密林深处，阳光透过枝叶，斑斑点点的洒在路上、身上，异常的惬意。感觉欧美人比我们会享受生活，硕大的包包有背夫给背着，自己悠闲的赏景，休息时品味着热咖啡，充分体验着旅行的乐趣。（我是说他们是旅行而不是驴行）。哥德班尼海拔2860米，那天专门绕行三个多小时，就是准备住在这里，第二天早上看日出。哥德班尼是个小镇，有数十家客栈。这里还有登山检查站，要查验证件，登记盖章。工作人员很悠闲，边晒太阳边下棋。还可以见到前几年的语，不认识写的什么，但对那镰刀斧头的图案是再熟悉不过了。这里房屋的屋顶都是蓝色的彩钢板，我喜欢这个颜色。小吴领我们进了最高处的一家客栈，推开窗户，就见雪山，近在咫尺。仁者乐山，见雪山就兴奋。今爬行没有强度，时值中午，感觉日晒强烈，天气却很凉。在小吴的建议下，午饭点了份套餐：炸薯条、炸鸡块、炸牛排、蔬菜、米饭。500卢比一份，这是我们进山仅有的最FB的一餐。特意在露天用餐，来两瓶啤酒，对着安娜普纳雪峰畅饮，体验着神仙过的日子。美了美了，醉了醉了。黄昏时登临附近较高处，山里的傍晚，大多是云遮雾罩，没有那期待中的雪山落日，巍巍雪峰若隐若现，只抓拍了雪峰那瞬间即逝的靓影。这天的早饭是油饼+奶茶；晚饭是在房间里，叫了份炒面，煮了锅紫菜汤，牛肉花生米，限量两杯小酒... 当驴不要太苦了自己，毕竟自虐也不是唯一。本来依我们的体力（得利于经常性的登山和骑行运动），虽然重装7天内肯定能走完ABC。但为了拍日出，昨天只徒步3小时，就住在了哥德班尼。昨天傍晚的云遮雾罩，没有预想的美丽的夕阳落日。心情多少有些郁闷，担心早晨是否能够拍到日出。黎明前，戴着头灯上路，满天的繁星眨着眼睛，那颗悬着的心踏实了，没有白浪费那半天的时间，有时耐心的等待并不是一件坏事。布恩山（Poon Hill，海拔3200米），是安娜普纳小环游线路的最大亮点，如果天气好的话可以看到270度雪山群峰日出的壮观景色。早上五点小吴就叫我们起来，开始向布恩山顶进发，去看日出。这段路程大概有十多里但海拔要提高600多米，人们都在漆黑的山路上登顶，不时会看到照明头灯的闪烁。([]

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分，不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦，希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子，原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co， where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the location of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30)， 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evaluate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for? The pregnant female chirus in migration, probably heading to Heishi Beihu to give birth([]
