Ten days of bone-rattling, spine-jolting driving along bumpy and dusty dirt roads out to western Tibet, covering a 3000km return road trip to some of the most barren and desolate landscapes in the country. Above: The first day of our bumpy ride ... leaving the Friendship Highway for a dusty detour to Gyantse, then Shigatse.
Above: Leaving Mt Kailash and heading westwards.
Above: Another slowly-winding single-lane dirt road over a high pass, then down again over to the other side.
Above: After leaving Thithapuri hot springs, we make our way up a winding dirt road over the Lunggar La pass (5160m) before descending into Tsada and the bare, empty landscape towards Tsaparang and the Guge Kingdom.
