经过了2个小时的车程 (真够慢的!!!) 我们到达了 挪威 Narvik. 下了火车站,我们给EUROPE CAR公司的人打电话,让他把车开到车站,完了合同就可以开路了。 到了后我们都傻眼了,这两辆小屁车根本连行李也放不下啊! 太坑爹了。 我们申请换车,出乎意料的,这个朋友直接就同意了,没有一点不开心, 所以我和另外一位司机坐着他的车开到了租车公司大本营。这是一个丰田公司估计和EUROPE CAR合作的, 我们选了两辆中型车,型号记不得了,总之9个人加10几件行礼都可以放进去。顺便说一句,Narvik 火车站有个 visitor 's centre, 里面有个美女前台,绝对算的上是天人级的。 突然间我对挪威的好印象加深了100倍!1. 北欧极光摄影之旅- 瑞典篇 (斯德哥尔摩)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1944636-1-1.html2. 北欧极光摄影之旅-瑞典 (基律纳+ 阿比斯库)初遇极光 https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1949117-1-1.html4. 北极极光摄影之旅- 挪威 (阿尔塔 + 北角)北欧大陆的“最北端” https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1960333-1-1.html5. 北欧极光摄影之旅 - 格陵兰(努克的极光) https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1973832-1-1.html估计得开个3个多小时吧,当时还是下午,所以不出意外的话,傍晚前是能够从 “纳尔维克” 赶到 “特鲁姆索”的,一路上我们基本就是停停拍拍了。刚刚开出 纳尔维克 没5分钟就下起了太阳雨,峡湾上空的云被阳光打到以后都变红了,映出了很不寻常的景色。局部有阵雨!!! 同学:“老师我拉稀了,想请两天假。” 老师:“讲话文明点!” 同学:“老师,我“菊部阵雨”想请两天假。”因为手动档我确实不是很熟练,所以做在了副驾驶的位置,拿起相机随便咔嚓几下吧。孤零零的一个小山包,还有雪覆盖在上面,看来前几天瑞典的雪就是挪威这飘过来的。挪威就是一个峡湾国家,路都是绕着峡湾走,偶尔也会上桥。木材也是挪威的一大资源!不过最大的还是石油。半道遇到堵车,心里想着不会耽误太久吧!北欧除了大城市内,想这些城间公路都很窄,也有限速,开起来很不爽。 唯一好的就是没什么车。太阳已经西下了,慢慢的,连晚霞也没有了。到了特鲁姆索已经是晚上8点钟了,我们住的是一家河边上的酒店, 名叫Clarion Collection Hotel With. 最后才知道这个酒店最大的特点就是,只要入住就包餐。 前台服务员在我办登记的时候还特意嘱咐我" breakfast, afternoon tea and light dinner are all included." 听得我都不信。房间在6楼的阁楼,旁边就是桑拿间。 哎,我一个孤单大老爷们享受这待遇真是白瞎了。 酒店前面就是河岸了,貌似从早上到中午,前面这些小鸭子就没离开过。我们本来打算在 特鲁姆索 观鲸的,来到 travel info centre 才知道,目前根本就是观鲸淡季,没有船愿意出海,而且看到鲸鱼连20%的几率都没有,跟别提鲸群了,看来我功课做糙了。实在没办法我只有问问城里还有什么好玩了,给出的答案就是看建筑和博物馆。 得了,那也只有如此了。HDR拍的,别问我为什么人有鬼影,这也是没办法的事啊。我发现每到一个城市,教堂一定是比较突出的。当地的图书馆,北欧人喜爱阅读,闲的时候就会捧着本书看。这边的狗都被训练的不会叫了,别管大小种类,都很乖。([]

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([]

可可西里自然保护区是我国目前建立的面积最大,海拔最高,野生动物资源最为丰富的国家级自然保护区之一,被誉为“世界第三极”和青藏高原珍稀野生动物基因库。 可可西里自然保护区位于青海省西南部的玉树藏族自治州境内,东经89º25’~94˚05΄,北纬34º19’~36º16。其范围为昆仑山脉以南,乌兰乌拉山以北,东起青藏公路,西迄省界。保护区西与西藏自治区相接,南同格尔木唐古拉乡毗邻,北和新疆维吾尔族自治区相连,东至青藏公路,总面积4.5万平方公里。 可可西里地处青藏高原腹地,平均海拔在4600米以上,最高峰为北缘昆仑山布喀达板峰(亦称新青峰或莫诺马哈峰),海拔6860米;最低点在豹子峡(昆仑山南鹿红水河横穿博卡雷克拐弯处),海拔4200米。区内地势南北高,中部低,西部高而东部低。可可西里山和冬布勒山横贯本区中部,山地间有两个宽谷湖盆带,地势较平坦。海拔5500米~6000米以上的山地,有现代冰川发育。如布喀达坂峰(6860)米,马兰山(6813)米,少数超过5600米的山峰也有小规模冰川分布,如东岗扎日(5882)米,冰川总面积达1700多平方公里。 可可西里是羌塘高原内流湖区和长江北源水系交汇地区。东部为楚玛河为主的长江北源水系,主要为雨水、地下水补给,水量较小,河流往往是季节性河流。西部和北部是以湖泊为中心的内流水系。区内湖泊众多,据统计,面积大于1平方公里的湖泊有107个,总面积3825平方公里,其中面积200平方公里以上的湖泊有7个。最大的为乌兰乌拉湖,湖水面积为544.5平方公里,是青海省第四大湖。可可西里湖泊大部分为咸水湖或半咸水湖,矿化度较高。 区内现代冰川广布,冰川总面积2000平方公里,著名的有布喀达坂冰帽冰川,马兰山冰川、岗扎日冰川等,是“中华水塔”的宝贵冰川。本地区有许多奇特的自然景观,如山谷冰川,地表冻丘、冻帐、石林、石环、多彩的高原湖泊,盐湖边盛开的朵朵“盐花”,以及现代冰川下热气蒸腾,水温高达91℃的沸泉群等,有机地组成了其他地区所不及的本区特有的地质资源。 本区气候特点是温度低、降水少、大风多、区域差异较大。境内年平均气温由东南向西北逐渐降低,在西金乌兰湖地区有一明显暖区,最暖区年均温为-4.10C,最冷为最西边的勒斜武担措,年均温为-10.00C(推算值),最低气温-46.40C,其它地区均在两者之间。 可可西里地区年平均降水量分布趋势是由东南向西北逐渐减少。在173~495毫米之间。本区风大,是全国风速高值区之一,在风力较弱的季节。西金乌兰湖附近仍出现瞬时风速为24.0米/秒的大风(1990年7月9日16时47分),年平均风速分布由东向西增大。区内的土壤类型简单,多为高山草甸土、高山草原土和高山寒漠土壤,其次为沼泽土,零星分布的有沼泽土、龟裂土、盐土、碱土和风沙土。土壤发育年轻。受冻融作用影响深刻。 区域内由于受到地理位置、地势高低、地形坡向及地表组成物质等各种水热条件分异因素的影响,自然景观自东南向西北呈现高寒草甸-高寒草原+高寒荒漠更替。其中高寒草原是主要类型。高寒冰缘植被也有较大面积的分布,高寒荒漠草原、高寒垫状植被和高寒荒漠有少量分布。高寒草甸、高寒沼泽仅分布在极个别的地区。可可西里地势高峻,空气稀薄,气压偏低,氧气稀薄,只有低海拔地区的一半,烧开水的沸点只有80多度,被称为“世界第三极”。自然环境严酷,气候恶劣,人类无法长期居住、生产和生活,因而保留了其原始的生态环境和独特的自然景观。 本区生物区系种类少,但青藏高原特有种比例大,且种群数量大。据多年观察,哺乳动物有29种,其中11种为青藏高原特有,鸟类53种,爬行类1种,鱼类6种。区内高等植物有102属,202种,其中青藏高原特有种84种,占全区种类的41.56%,其中属国家重点保护的一、二类野生动物就有20余种。包括大家熟知的野牦牛、藏羚羊、野驴、白唇鹿、棕熊等。本区的特有生物种类不但是我国的珍稀动植物,而且为世界上所嘱目,在学术上和自然保护上均十分重要. 以上资料择由《中国国家地理》杂志 2009年10月2日在青海省格尔木市休整一天,作高原适应并作连续穿越可可西里和阿尔金山两大无人区的准备,车子油箱全部加满油,给养车上的汽油和柴油备用油箱也全部加满,准备2桶50L的淡水,以及矿泉水若干箱,馕、面包等干粮,火腿肠、鸡爪等小吃,还有大米、面条,青菜以及宰杀好的两只羊。 格尔木地处青藏、青新、敦格公路和青藏铁路交汇处,为青海西部交通枢纽。南可通西藏,北可达甘肃河西走廊,西可去新疆,东可到省会西宁。是西藏通往祖国内地的重要中转站和物资集散地。 格尔木是蒙古语,意为“河流密集的地方”,地处青藏高原腹地,市区位于柴达木盆地中南部格尔木河冲积平原上,市区平均海拔2780米,全市人口27万,其中汉族人口占83%。 格尔木城雕 10月3日早上一切准备妥当,开始出发,可就在宾馆的停车场,给养的大车在倒车时刮到一旁的小车,保安费了好大劲,才找到车主,看到我们是新疆的车牌,提出要到西宁修理,光来回油费和耽误的时间就开口要1500元,连修理费一起要3000元。一番协商不下,把我们撩在宾馆等候,工匠他们到交警处理,巧的是处理的交警有亲戚是新疆库尔勒人,他偷偷告诉我们不要露出着急的样子,要装作有大把多时间磨泡,最后那位小车的车主经不住拖时间,以1500元了事。可也把我们等的将近中午,才急急忙忙开拔,走上青藏公路的109国道。 前方的雪山就是被称为“万山之宗”、“龙脉之祖”,在中华民族文化史上位居中国第一神山的巍巍位昆仑山。 昆仑山口地处昆仑山中段,格尔木市区南160公里处,海拔4767米 昆仑山口记碑分为主碑、副碑、陪碑、雕塑、底盘五部分,材质为汉白玉。主碑高4.767米,是昆仑山口海拔高度的千分之一,碑底座用花岗岩块石砌成9.6平方米基础,象征她屹立在祖国960万平方公里的坚实土地上。 到了昆仑山口就算进入可可西里自然保护区33685915_1272165201yXHH.jpg我们已办好进入保护区的手续,将要由东向西穿越可可西里。 从昆仑山口行驶不到20分钟,就到聊不冻泉保护站 不冻泉保护站海拔3700米,据说这里的泉水常年不停的喷涌而出,即使在寒冷的严冬也从不封冻,因此被称为“不冻泉”。不冻泉被当地藏民视为神泉。在不冻泉有旅馆、商店,还有加油站,可是没有油可 加 整个青藏铁路拉格段难度最大控制工程不冻泉特大桥,全长2.95公里。是目前世界上海拔最高,穿越冻土层最厚,科技含量最高,施工难度最大,空气最稀薄,条件最恶劣的高原特大桥。 昆仑山脉亚洲中部大山系,也是中国西部山系的主干。从东向西绵亘2,000公里(1,250哩),西起塔吉克的帕米尔,东至昆仑山口和毗邻的青藏诸山脉——布尔汗布达山脉、巴颜喀拉山与阿尼玛卿山。昆仑山宽度变化相当大,很少超过201公里(125哩)。在西部边际,该山形成中国西部西藏高原与塔里木盆地之间的一个内亚壁垒。北部支脉阿尔金山继续延伸这一山脉组合。玉珠峰、玉虚峰传说是玉帝两个妹妹的化身,是明末道教混元派(昆仑派)道场所在地,是中国第一神山。玉珠峰,海拔6178米,位于青海格尔木南160公里的昆仑山口以东10公里,是昆仑山东段最高峰,南坡冰川末端海拔约5100米;北坡冰川延伸至4400米。山峰顶部常年被冰雪所覆盖不冻泉大桥底看到的昆仑山玉珠峰 虽然还在青海境内,可道班却是西藏的道班,不知何故。 可可西里国家级自然保护区管理局共有5个保护站,其中常年有人值守的保护站4个,全部都分布在109国道边。按照距格尔木(管理局所在地)的远近,分别为沱沱河保护站、五道梁保护站、索南达杰保护站和不冻泉保护站。可可西里腹地的卓乃湖保护站由于条件恶劣,每年7、8月藏羚羊产羔期才开始派人值守。索南达杰自然保护站https//www.xxcb.com.cn/show.asp?id=182950 30 这个没有先例的我国第一个民间环保站,是以因保护可可西里野生动物而壮烈牺牲的原治多县委书记杰桑.索南达杰的名字命名的。1994年1月18日,索南达杰被偷猎者打死后,在零下四十度的严寒中被冻成一尊持枪射击的冰雕。他曾经说过“在中国办事如果不死几个人, 是很难引起全社会重视的。如果需要死人,就让我死在最前面。”他生前梦寐以求的, 就是在青藏公路边建一个自然保护站, 从而遏制疯狂的淘金者和偷猎者。 来自四川的探险家, 摄影师杨欣走过这里, 听到索南达杰的呼唤, 便义无反顾地走上了索南达杰的道路。1984年,“绿色江河”发起人杨欣开始关注长江,15次到长江源头地区考察,发现长江源头地区生态问,1995年倡导发起“保护长江源,爱我大自然”活动。1997年在长江源头建立起中国民间第一个自然生态环境保护站——索南达杰自然保护站,同时开展了系列的长江源生态环境考察和环境保护宣传教育活动,启动了民间长江源环境保护运动。 由于索达南杰保护站附近水源的盐碱含量高人不能饮用,他们每隔四五天就要到三十公里之外的不冻泉去拉水。他们日常生活所需的粮食和蔬菜也要到几百公里之外的格尔木去购买。 每个保护站都配备一辆巡逻专用的吉普,主要用以巡线工作。 在索南达杰保护站看到与公路平行的青藏铁路和巍巍昆仑雪山、玉珠峰 就在索南达杰保护站旁边不远处的叉道上进入可可西里腹地。 15时24分满载给养的红色的东风沙漠王给养车正在离开109国道

好不容易将受陷的车轮后面的泥土挖出一个缓坡,铺上带来的备用木板,两部越野车同时拉牵,有如蚍蜉撼树,大车没有反应,加到最大马力,大车还是一动不 动2#车的后梁都拉了变形,还是一点反应没有,可把2#的小卫师傅好个心痛了 得。 只好就地扎营,在这片泥泞潮湿的草滩上搭起加厚大帐篷第一天搭帐篷,都是生手,在几位师傅的指点下,费好大劲才支起。因为帆布夹棉,顶和两侧的大盖非常重,要六人才能支起。前后廉的三角尖处高度较高,也只有1米8几蛋糕才能够得到 。开火弄吃,今晚可是8月15中秋节啊,可不能太过 委屈小卫师傅也要露两手,来个清炖手抓羊肉。我对羊肉的膻味接受不了,只有远看的份。八月十五好歹还有月 饼充饥 玉虚峰相传为玉皇大帝的妹妹玉虚神女居住的地方。传说,当年玉皇大帝见昆仑山雄伟高大,气势轩昂,景象万千,且离天庭很近,便在昆仑山顶修建了一座轩辕行宫。玉帝的妹妹玉虚得知后,很不服气,说玉帝霸占的地方太多了 ,不仅占了天上,还要把地上的好地方也据为已有。玉帝没有办法,只好把其中的一座山峰让给了玉虚。玉虚便在这座山峰上为自己修筑一座冰清玉洁、俏丽奇美的行宫,而且经常带着众姐妹到此游玩,所以,这座山峰就叫玉虚峰。 玉虚峰下的野毛驴也已经吃饱喝足,远远的看着我们这群天外来客在夕阳的映照下,亭亭玉立冰清玉洁的玉珠峰越发显得妩媚可可西里荒原上的中秋月也迫不及待地早早挂在了 天边 老大觉得和大伙一起睡大帐,不习惯,睡不着,自己撑起单人小帐篷,要单独睡 谁也没有想到,进入可可西里荒野的第一晚居然在青藏公路边渡过,本应要至少越过库赛湖的啊。耐心等待一夜的上冻,明天再开拔吧。对于能否成功穿越也让所有人放心不下。 在可可西里荒野的第一晚,气温极低,我感觉头涨痛,有些高发,但还不是太严重,早早入睡。 第二天早上大家都说有些反映,我们这群人可是都去过阿里,都有5000米以上住宿的高原经历啊。连常年进阿尔金山的给养车苑师傅和1#车王师傅也因铲泥消耗体力多大出现高反。 早上大地结满霜,老大的单薄帐篷能顶住可可西里旷野的寒冷吗?王师傅、小卫以及苑师傅都在各自的车上睡,车窗结着厚厚的霜,车里的气温看来也暖不到哪去 。 也多亏寒冷,将路上的水全冻结,大车终于可以摆脱困境,脱离这片苦海。摆脱困境的大车,赶忙将车调头,向着东方。 怎么啦,大车要回头,不进去吗?原来玻璃上厚厚的霜已经看不清前面,老师傅要借助东升的太阳融化前玻璃的霜花,经验还真丰富吃过早餐,拆帐篷,装车,对着东升太阳,车前玻璃的厚霜在雨刮刮拉下,也可以看清路面。玉虚峰总也不离不舍,伴随我们一路向 西地貌也慢慢变成一片片斑斑的红色

塔敏查干沙漠穿越游记 4月30日,我和妈妈随科尔沁户外俱乐部一行28余人乘坐公共汽车前往内蒙古通辽市库伦旗,进行负重沙漠露营穿越户外活动。 塔敏查干沙漠位于库伦旗,属于哲里木盟辖旗。“库伦”系蒙古语译音,意为“有围墙的地方”。位于哲里木盟西南部。东邻科尔沁左翼后旗,南靠辽宁省阜新蒙古族自治县和彰武县,西连奈曼旗,北接开鲁县。面积4 650平方公里,人口16.8万,其中蒙古族占60%。辖5镇7苏木3乡。旗府驻库伦镇,距盟府140公里,海拔250.6米。元属中书省辖。明初属大宁卫。明末先后属察哈尔部、内喀尔喀部。清初形成唯一的政教合一的喇嘛旗称库伦旗,因曼苏希礼喇嘛从西藏来此传经布法,故名曼珠希礼库伦旗,1933年改库伦旗。解放后先属热河省辖,后归内蒙古自治区辖(1969~1979年曾归吉林省辖)。养畜牧河横贯中部,河南为黄土丘陵沟壑区,属燕山余脉;河北是地甸地,属西辽河冲积平原边缘属大陆性气候。地势西南高,东北低。水土流失造成沟壑纵横,北部沙化严重。年均温6.3℃,年均降水量426.9毫米,无霜期140-150天。矿藏有铁、钨、铜、石灰石、大理石、氟石、珍珠岩、砂等。有5条地方干线公路,纵横境内。工业有建材、电力、地毯、酿酒、制革、鞋帽、皮毛加工、农机、民用铸造、水泥、印刷、制砖、柳编、塑编、制药等行业。以农为主,农牧林结合,多种经营。农业主产玉米、高粱、稻谷、小麦、荞麦。有中学16所。是“安代舞”发源地,有“安代之乡”的盛名,由旗乌兰牧骑创作并演出的歌舞剧《安代传奇》被国家文化部认定为新剧种--科尔沁蒙古剧。古迹有兴源寺和福缘寺、象教寺,境内有50余座辽代古墓,其中“一号辽墓”,壁画面积约180平方米,是中国古代艺术史上的瑰宝. 30日中午我们到达库伦,午餐后参观了三大寺院,然后到库伦旗繁华的商业中心购物,见识了当地的风味食品,游览了旗中心的人民广场,下午3点左右,乘坐大巴前往穿越起点,在乡间公路颠簸了一个多小时左右到了一个不知名的小村子。 这个村子离穿越点还有些距离,于是我们就背着行囊徒步前行,大约走了2公里我们被一条河挡住了去路。怎么过?有的人去联系乘坐交通工具绕行过河,我和妈妈则按照前面驴友的方法背着行囊脱鞋鞋趟河(水很凉,脚下20多公分的淤泥下面还没有完全化冻)。过河后大约徒步补个多小时到达第一露营地,安营扎寨,埋锅造饭。晚餐我们吃了鸡蛋菠菜汤、红焖肉、馕饼。妈妈说吃好了才有体力去穿越沙漠。 餐后,科尔沁户外和长春徒步协会的驴友点篝火,一起狂欢,蒙族驴友叔叔应大家邀请唱起了蒙族歌曲,让我感到了驴友们的朴实,歌声伴着篝火在夜空中飘荡,围着篝火驴友们跳着唱着。高潮时“我的热情好像一把火,燃烧了整个沙漠。沙漠有了我,从此不寂寞……”这歌声恰如其分的诠释了人们当时的心情。5月1日早,9点开始徒步穿越沙漠,领队山峰进行了分组,我和妈妈在一组,擎云叔叔是领队 。我们踩着软软的沙子前行,脚下留下我们坚韧的足迹。沙漠因为我们的穿越显得生机勃勃,不在是沉静。穿越者的的各色装扮点缀着沙漠,人们蜿蜒前行,走在沙脊上看着滴滴汗珠落在沙地里那的印记被大风吹的转瞬即逝。随着时间的推移脚步开始变得沉重,大家每走上一个沙脊都会停下脚步拍照。走累了就休息,喝些水,吃点零食补充些营养继续向着沙漠腹地前进。中午的沙漠很热,真的热情似火。经过一上午的沙漠穿越,下午大家都自动放慢脚步,慢慢沿着沙脊朝着露营地方向前进。因为我们是第一队,在前面,怕和大家离得太远,老卒大伯决定在一个沙山上休息,等山峰他们,我和妈妈就卸下背包睡了一觉。后来好些驴友叔叔上来了我们一起前行,经过了“漫长”的两个小时跋涉(说“漫长”,亲身经历的人就会懂),傍晚我们选择了养畜牧河边作为我们的第二露营地安营。休息一会,我们开始搭建临时的家。好几十顶帐篷列队排开,真壮观。晚餐后,伴随着落日余晖我们大家爬上周围的沙山开始了一天最轻松的拍照欢乐时光。 夜晚,躺在帐篷里听着河边此起彼伏的蛙声,在怎么想不到这是大漠的邻居,养畜牧河的热情和大漠冷峻能够如此的和谐,更增添了沙漠穿越的神秘。听着夜晚大漠的风在吟唱,感受着那冰冷的夜色,渐渐融入梦乡。 2日,早餐后,返程徒步,在乡村小路徒步12.5公里,身体虽然很是疲倦,但途中小雨很清爽使我们的心情格外的轻松。回头望着两天来我们走过的这片沙漠,心里有着很是的不舍,我们只是一群过客,还没来得及深度体验和发现她的雄浑壮阔和更多神秘之处,就离开了。望着因我们的离去又归于沉寂的沙漠,在心里默默祝福再见了大漠,谢谢你给予我的这份神奇经历。 在这里要感谢组织者山峰叔叔、打前站的阿布叔叔和何叔叔、领队擎云叔叔、财务总管蓝月亮姐姐等驴友。同时,很感谢妈妈拉我参加这次穿越而且做窝的随队厨师使我有机会在沙漠穿越中享用奢侈的饭菜!

序六年前。我刚开始练习瑜伽,瑜伽馆的一位老师,每年都会去印度呆上一段时间,学习瑜伽。那一次,他准备带学生一同前往。我虽心向往之,但他计划的时间,我完全没有假期,只好作罢。我记得他对大家说,在印度不能乱吃东西,否则很容易拉肚子。一年前。深夜,妹夫从印度打来电话,说妹妹因染上登革热,高烧不退,住进了医院,白细胞和血小板不断减少,医生说,如果血小板继续减少,就需要输血,建议由直系亲属输血。妹妹已是第二次去印度,因妹夫被成都的公司外派到德里,负责印度市场的销售,所以这两年的十一,她都会去印度探望他。前年呆了一月,她安然无恙。怎么这一次,只是因为被蚊子叮咬,就染上了登革热?而事实上,每年9、10月份,都是印度中北部地区登革热高发期,卫生条件的不完善便是重要原因。当时,我对蟋蟀头说,没想到,我会因这种原因去印度。赶紧上网查询如何办理印度证。妹夫说,再等一晚,看这晚我妹的身体状况再作决定。所幸,那一晚妹妹的相关指数开始出现好转,并于三天后顺利出院。但,“明年我们去印度吧”,就这样提上了议程。在S姐的建议下,我们提前大半年就订好了去印度的往返机票。我不是喜欢做功略的人,但想去的地方太多,时间却太少,提前做好计划,便能让旅行变得从容点。尤其是,印度软件业发达,提前四个月便能在网上订火车票,电子票打印出来,就可直接使用,方便程度远甚于中国铁路;印度的许多旅馆都有自己的网站,可网上在线订房,也可通过发邮件的方式预订。当然,在订票订房的过程中,也发生过种种问,种种纠结,和阿三们不断通过邮件进行沟通。但渐渐,我发现这也很有趣,我的印度之行,似乎提前几个月便已开始。我关心行程,蟋蟀头却只关心安全。毕竟,这是一个不可思议的国度。不可思议,并不是我说的,这可是印度旅游局的全球宣传口号:Incredible India不可思议的印度。今年7月30日和31日,接连发生在印度北部的两次大停电事故,使得印度半个国家瘫痪,6亿多人的日常生活受到影响,占印度总人口的一半左右。美联社称:“有史以来最大的停电事故已由印度创造!”同样是7月下旬,印度东北部阿萨姆邦土著与穆斯林移民爆发种族冲突,并酿成大规模流血事件。8月25日,又发生两起新的攻击,使得该邦因骚乱死亡人数累计接近90人,数千人流离失所。因太多人逃离,一度造成该地区的铁路中枢系统瘫痪。所以,蟋蟀头的担心,并非毫无道理。我和他解释,我们去的虽然是印度北部,但主要是在拉贾斯坦邦,和那个发生冲突的地区没有一点关系。至于停电嘛,好吧,我也不知道到时是否会发生,但,如果发生的时候,我们可以身在其中,我觉得这也非常有劲。的确,对于爱冒险的我来说,印度正因为种种不可思议,才充满无限魅力。在游记开始之前,让我们先来唱颂一次OM,shanti shanti shantihi (欧姆,香缇 香缇 香缇 嘿)这是我们每次瑜伽课开始和结束时,都会唱颂的一句话。OM,被瑜伽认为是最古老最神圣的梵音,是万物源头的声音,是内在的声音。而香缇,则意为平和、和谐。这也是我在瓦拉纳西的恒河河祭时听到的唱颂声,在日落时的斋浦尔、焦特浦尔城市上方回响的晚祷声。。。唱颂OM的力量,可为你打开心扉,将内心做一次清理。因为我希望你能暂时抛开关于印度的种种成见与偏见,跟随我的游记来一次印度之旅。以平和的心态,去看待印度的好与不好。毕竟,正因这些神奇,成就了这个不可思议的国度。一、抵达...........................................................P5二、捡了一对夫妇逛红堡.....................................P8三、火车旅行.................................................... P24四、瓦拉纳西,在生命的大剧场里出离

这次一反常规,在游记开始前先奉上功略,只因为我想鼓励那些对印度感兴趣的同学,如果喜欢,就上路吧。上路,其实没你想像中那么复杂。证篇办理印度证,最早只能在出发前一个月。只要准备好相应材料,印度证非常容易申请,一般在提交资料后五个工作日内便可领取证。送后,在上海印度证中心的网站上,可在线查询证受理的进度。审核完成,便可去证中心领取护照。在上海办理印度证需准备如下材料:1、证申请表一份。(在线填写https//www.vfs-india.com.cn/shanghai/chinese/tourist_appliCATionform.html,并打印)2、2张近期(50mm

火车篇作为铁轨上的国度,印度是亚洲最早拥有铁路系统的国家,至今已有150多年的铁路历史。铁路总长63200多公里,亚洲第二、世界第三。到印度旅行,不能不坐火车,因为它是最便捷的交通工具。而且,在这个不靠谱的国家,尽管火车晚点现象严重,但还是要比乘飞机靠谱许多。 1、购票网站www.cleartrip.com 非常好用的购票网站,不仅可以订火车票,也可订机票及住宿。 提前四个月就可订票。座位等级分为:AC First Class(1A)/AC2 Tier/ AC3 Tier/AC Chair Car(CC)/Sleeper(SL)/Second sitting(2s)带AC的都是空调车厢,AC1是软卧,分隔成一间间,有房门;AC2与AC3都是空调硬卧,区别在于AC2是两层卧铺,AC3是三层卧铺。 印度有严格的等级制,体现在火车上就是,非该等级的乘客不得随意进入。一般乘坐AC的都是社会阶层比较高的印度人,素质相对较高,车厢比较干净整洁。而乘坐二等座的则是社会地位较低的印度人,车厢内脏乱差,甚至连窗户也没。 印度火车票不贵,与中国相比,便宜很多。天气热的时候去印度,建议还是选空调车厢吧,对自己好一点,没啥不对。当然,如果以体验为名,想和当地印度人挤二等车厢,那你得作好万全的心理准备。但如果是单身女性上路,严重不建议。 2、cleartrip今年的订票新规,账号必须与印度铁路局IRCTC的账号相关联,但IRCTC的账号又必须用印度当地的手机号注册并激活。此新规一度让准备去印度的同学不知所措,但很快便有同学找到相应解决办法,并通过一次次实践加以完善。前人栽树,后人乘凉,详细的账号注册功略请参考此帖:《完全图解印度火车账号注册成功》https//bbs.qyer.com/viewthread.php?tid=635989&extra=page%3D1 3、订火车票是实名制,详细到还需写明性别与年龄。用VISA或者MasterCard的信用卡进行网上支付。订票成功后,打印出来,便可直接使用。火车上列车员会查一次票,出示打印出来的电子票即可。AC First ClassAC2AC3 住宿篇大多时候,都是在火车上睡一宿,第二天早晨到。再加上乘火车可以预先知道出发与到达的时间,所以时间相对比较确定,建议提前预定旅馆,再要求旅馆提供接站服务,既可避免在火车站与tutu司机砍价,在路上被tutu司机忽悠,还可节省车费(我们的六段火车,全是免费接站)以及时间。也许你会问,如果少了这些,是不是少了很多体验?当然不会,因为除了长途坐火车,在一个城市里的交通主要还是tutu,你被他们忽悠以及反忽悠的机会多了去了。一、推荐预定住宿的网站:1、www.booking.com,网页显示可选择中文,而且每个旅馆都有世界各地游客的点评,非常简单好用。2、www.cleartrip.com,印度本地的网站,从网站界面上说,和booking.com一样好用,但全英文的页面,对于中国人来说,肯定不如全中文页面来得清楚。而且有时同一个旅店,在cleartrip上订需预先付费,但booking就不需要,而且在入住日期前几天,还可无条件取消预订。所以此次行程,如果没有旅店的官方网站,我就在booking.com上预定。二、推荐查看旅店评价的网站:www.tripadvisor.in中文版即 到到网此网站只能查询,不能预订,所以从某个角度来说,上面的点评比较中肯。即使是别人游记中推荐的旅馆,建议你还是来此网站上看看大家对该旅馆的评价。虽然个人感受都比较主观,也许一只老鼠就可毁掉你对这家旅馆的所有好印象,也可能会因一个小花园而对它赞不绝口。尽管如此,综合大多数人的点评,你还是可以有个比较全面的了解,以更好做出你的选择。所以,我们此次行程订的七家旅馆,除了最后一家稍微有点不值,其余都非常好。为了方便大家参考,我把预订的七家旅馆逐一作个点评。但需要提醒的是,房间不同、时间不同,房价差异会很大。每年10月下旬至3月,印度较为凉爽,比较适合旅行,房价会比夏季价格偏贵。 1、德里——Hotel Hari Piorko价格: Rs.1650+10%= Rs.1815/晚 住一晚 从机场接机Rs.700预订方式:www.book.com预订点评:位置非常好,位于背包客云集的帕哈甘吉地区,也就是鼎鼎大名的Main Bazaar。距离新德里火车站500米,距离康诺特广场1公里。我通过邮件,预订了酒店的接机服务,对方在邮件里告诉我,到酒店前台付出租车的费用。可到了酒店,工作人员却出尔反尔,明明说好是Rs.700,却要收Rs.800,当然,最后也只收了Rs.700。另外,我们到酒店住下时已是凌晨三点,淋浴只有冷水,没有热水。关于淋浴,我曾特地在邮件里和酒店确认过,因为在tripadvisor上有人点评说,酒店晚上没有热水淋浴。酒店在邮件里保证,一定有热水淋浴的,请我放心。说得那么肯定,结果还是没热水。不过,到了早晨,热水淋浴倒是蛮好的。除了那两点,该酒店各方面都还不错,在tripadvisor上的口碑很好,也是cleartrip推荐的酒店之一。推荐指数:★★★☆☆其余酒店参考:Ginger Hotel(Ginger New Delhi):距离新德里火车站200米,连锁酒店,类似如家。坐机场快线到火车站,出来后对面就是。https//www.gingerhotels.com/HotelSearchResults/Default.aspx本打算预订这家酒店,但提前几个月,网站就显示新德里店房间全满。据说这只是酒店的营销策略而已,因为新德里店位置较好,大家往往都订这家店,而导致在德里的另一连锁店没有生意,所以一般只会提前一点时间开放预订。我觉得酒店这种想法很奇怪,我们并不会因为你这家店满了,就选择你的另一家店,我完全可以选择相同地段的其他店。印度人的思维模式有时真的很奇怪。 2、瓦拉纳西——Scindhia Guest House价格:Rs.1800 + 12.42% tax = Rs.2025/晚(含早餐)有阳台,有空调,有冰箱 住两晚预订方式:酒店网站https//www.scindhiaguesthouse.com/index.html 在线预订Email:scindhiaguesthouse@yahoo.com点评:酒店就在恒河边,每个房间都面向恒河。因为在焚尸台Scindhia Ghat旁边,所以酒店的名字是Scindhia Guest House。酒店非常干净,地板擦得很亮,和外面的环境相比宛如两个世界。酒店口碑极好,最好提前预订,但很多人都抱怨发了邮件去订房,却没有任何回音,只好放弃。建议直接在酒店网页上在线预订。我当时在网上在线填写预订表格并提交,十七天后,酒店发来邮件,确认我的预订。虽然我对这家酒店强烈推荐,但我写到这里,刚看了一下网站,相同的房间,房价已涨至Rs.3373,房价有效期从2012-10-1至2013-3-31。推荐指数:★★★★★其余酒店参考:Alka Hotel, www.hotelalkavns.com因座落在恒河边,被好些网友称为瓦拉纳西的首选。我发邮件询价,然后看tripadvisor上对该酒店的最新评价都不太好,说房间旧,不干净,服务也不好。酒店回我邮件告诉价格,尽管房价比Scindhia Guest House便宜许多,我还是没有选择这家。房间外的阳台相连我们的房间,有阳台,有空调,有冰箱从阳台上看到的恒河风景 3、阿格拉——Sai Home Stay Bed & Breakfast价格:Rs.1550/晚(含早餐)住一晚预订方式:www.book.com预订酒店Email:saihomestay@yahoo.com点评:选中这家,只能说是缘分,看tripadvisor上的评价,很多人认为是在印度住过的最好的一家酒店,便让我立即决定选择它。尽管从旅馆的名字来看,似乎只是一家小得不能再小的家庭旅馆。旅馆真的不大,只有几个房间,但房间却挺大,装修很新,很干净。有一个小花园,小得只能放下一张桌子,但在那里吃早餐,却是非常温馨。老板很亲切,很有气质,英语说得非常好,一看就属于印度的中上层人士。他家的菜也做得非常好吃。尤其是餐具,精致漂亮,感觉他是一个很会生活的人。而且这家还是我们此行中最便宜的一家旅馆!推荐指数:★★★★★我们的房间小花园 4、斋普尔——The Umaid bhawan heritage Hotel价格:Rs. 2600/晚(含早餐)有空调,有冰箱 住两晚预订方式:酒店网站https//www.umaidbhawan.com/index.htm 在线预订,需输入信用卡信息作为预定担保,如果在预订时间没有入住该酒店,会被扣掉相应房费。点评:这是我们行程中房价第二贵的一家酒店,因火车晚上 22:20才到斋浦尔,加上晚点因素,估计我们到酒店都快24点了,但也要算一晚的房费,定这么贵的房是否有必要?但酒店网页上的照片实在太漂亮了,美轮美奂的,让我完全失去抵抗力。等我们入住后,我有多庆幸选择了这家酒店!从进房间的一刻开始,我就给房间的每个角落拍照;第二天起床吃早餐,也是从门外的露台茶几,拍到餐厅;晚上又继续拍阳台上的露天餐厅与歌舞表演。拉贾斯坦在建筑和绘画上的艺术风格,在这家酒店得以淋漓尽致地呈现,精致的壁画、装饰,屋顶、屋角细致描绘的花纹,无不透着浓浓的异域气息。免费供应的早餐,并非简单的土司、蛋卷,而是丰盛的自助餐,味道还非常赞。晚餐是在露台上的餐厅,不仅有现场歌舞表演,还有现烤的羊肉,食物味道不错,我俩都爱上了那里一道用茄子做的菜肴。而且,我在这里喝到了来印度后的第一瓶啤酒。要知道,印度的很多餐厅都不供应啤酒的,因为大多数人不吃荤不喝酒不抽烟。推荐指数:★★★★★其余酒店参考:Hotel Pearl Palace, https//hotelpearlpalace.com/LP推荐,网上口碑很好。但我提前四个月预订定,也没订到,酒店回我邮件,说已客满。我很庆幸这家挤满驴友的酒店客满,有时,我比较喜欢能找一些与众不同,但又很有特色的旅馆。 5、乌代浦尔——Hibiscus Guest House 价格:Rs.2000/晚 住两晚预订方式:www.hibiscusinudaipur.com/index.html 发邮件预订酒店Email:hibiscus-udaipur@hotmail.com点评:这家酒店由tripadvisor推荐,网友评价排名第六。距离那家鼎鼎大名的dreamheaven guest house很近,走路5分钟就到。之所以没有选择据说位置超赞的dreamheaven,是因为那家被 LP推荐的酒店,历史实在太长,完全可以想像酒店陈设的老旧。在tripadvisor上果然看到很多这样的评价,让我毅然决定选择一个新旅馆。这家酒店距离湖边仅5分钟,有个雅致的小花园,非常安静。住了整整两天,除了我俩,没看到一个住客,以致于蟋蟀头在第一天就有想换酒店的冲动。我却很喜欢这样的静谧。没住dreamheaven,但可以去那里吃饭啊,据说那里的食物味道很好。但去了dreamheaven后,我非常庆幸自己的选择,dreamheaven实在太老旧了,窄小漆黑的过道,让我感觉随时都有老鼠在这里串来串去。第二天去dreamheaven旁边的一家高级酒店Karohi Haveli上厕所,顺便参观一圈后,更是让我对自己的选择欣喜。Karohi Haveli几层楼高,是家名副其实的酒店,但个人感觉酒店大而冰冷,没有小旅馆那种温暖气息。房间也没有比Hibiscus 更好。Karohi Haveli是一个网友游记中的强烈推荐,她是因为老鼠乱串,房间环境不好,从dreamheaven中逃出来的,于是把Karohi Haveli描绘得如天堂般。我很早就写了邮件想要预订这家旅馆,在邮件中我写了check in的时间,向酒店询价,酒店回我邮件,告诉了我几种房间的房价。价格很高,我又是一轮邮件和他砍价,最后他同意给我一个折扣价,面朝湖的Super DeLUXE ,Rs.3000/晚。尽管房费依然偏贵,但我想,既然在印度最浪漫的城市,住贵一点的酒店无妨。于是马上回邮件,告诉他我就定这间了,请他确认我的预订。没想到,酒店回我,这个价格只在4月-9月有效,不适用于我预订的10月。真是晕倒,我在第一封询价的邮件里就写得很清楚了,我抵达的时间是10月7日!价格不适用于10月,他给我报价干嘛?还这么折腾要了一个折扣价。再问他,那10月的价格何时出来?他回答说不知道。于是,我彻底放弃这家酒店。印度人有时教条得真是不可理喻。推荐指数:★★★★★其他酒店参考:1、dreamheaven

点评:酒店位置非常好,屋顶餐厅和阳台上都可以看到梅兰加尔古堡,感觉古堡近在咫尺。酒店老板热情得让你难以招架,亲自领我们进房间,介绍周围景点,赠送地图。他希望蟋蟀头帮他拍点照片放在他的酒店网页上,但他的举动又让我们有点不快。我们临走时,他竟要求我们给他的员工付小费,我们虽没有拒绝,但感觉奇怪。淋浴不好。于我而言,一旦淋浴不好,对该酒店的印象就会大打折扣。如果楼顶阳台上的煤气罐没开,就没有热水。而酒店并不会24小时打开煤气罐,晚上如果没有特别提醒,肯定会关掉。但这一点,我们最初并不知晓,老板领我们进房间时,讲了很多,却没讲这点。只说打开淋浴后几分钟就会有热水。晚上我洗澡时,等了十多分钟,也仅一点温水。等蟋蟀头去洗澡时,已经纯粹是冷水。因夜已深,我不太想再去叫醒酒店人员。但第二天早上,淋浴依然是冷水,出去问老板,他面带笑容地告诉我说,“洗澡前和我们说一下就行了!”无语。我洗澡前还要和你说吗?推荐指数:★★★☆☆我们的房间酒店的露台餐厅房间的阳台

点评:这是我们此行所住的七家酒店中,最贵的一家,但也是最令人失望的一家。可能正应了那句话,期望越大,失望越大。网上介绍,此家酒店距离杰伊瑟尔梅尔古堡只有500米远,精致的哈维利,只有七个房间,每个房间都不一样。哈维利haveli,是拉贾斯坦的传统民居,由石头筑成,装饰华丽,以石雕匠的精工细作为特色。想像中,住在金色的沙漠之城,住在具有异域风情的哈维利里,感觉一点非常美好。此家酒店的确是以石头筑成,有石头雕成的假窗,在桔黄色的灯光映衬下,拍出来的照片也挺美,但仅此而已。房间不大,没有桌子或茶几让蟋蟀头摆弄他的笔记本,让每天都要导照片看照片的他恼火不已。淋浴也不好。如果要洗澡,只能白天,或者晚上22点前。22点后就只有冷水。房间由石头砌成,隔音效果却不好。清晨我们还未醒,工作人员在与我们相隔一个房间的洗手间洗拖帕的声音,真是声声清脆,声声入耳。推荐指数:★☆☆☆☆ 功略写完了。我提供的功略较为简单扼要,只有最基本的证与住行,并没有各种注意事项等细节。那些细节,我更愿意用游记的形式与你分享。我认为,功略应该成为你的拐仗,而非限制;要因为功略,使你的旅行更加从容,而不要因为功略,给自己设定太多条条框框。如果你有完全充足的时间,也许你可以完全无视功略,走到哪儿算哪儿。也许处处有惊喜,但也有可能惊喜变成惊吓。不管怎样,用享受的心情开始旅行吧。游记,正式开始。。。 一、抵达于我而言,很少有提前大半年做旅行计划这件事。印度,是第一次。出发那天是晚上2105,白天上班,我竟开始拉肚子。暗自嘲弄自己,不至于吧,印度还没到了!但庆幸的是,在印度的17天,我没有拉过一次肚子。从上海直飞德里,全程六小时。晚上抵达时,北京时间凌晨340,但印度时间却是 0110。是的,印度与中国有2.5个小时的时差。来到印度的这一刻,时间便又回流了2个半小时。刚走进机场大楼,就有一些同航班的同学驻足,对着这两幅俊男靓女的照片拍个不停。虽不好意思加入其中,但我还是在他们离去后,不能免俗地赶快按了一张。为什么不好意思?因为,这是厕所!先暂时抛开你想像中的脏乱差的印度吧,至少对于初来乍到的我们,呈现在我们眼前的英迪拉·甘地国际机场,干净、明亮、现代,甚至,透着一股禅的气息。在办理出关的地方,一面金色圆盘为底的装饰墙上,有11个手势各异的佛手印,唯一的相同之处是,掌心中都有一朵莲花。手印,是瑜伽修炼时手的姿式。瑜伽认为,手印象征着特殊的愿力,会带来身体与意念的力量。手印分为很多种,不同的手印,对身心有着不同的影响。比如,第一张照片中左数第二个,拇指与中指相连,是能量手印,意即将上天中的能量善加利用,是瑜伽中最常用的手印之一。而莲花,则是印度的国花,与佛教与印度教都有很深的渊源。蟋蟀头正在柜台,等候印度大叔审核证。拍这张照时,我还本能地在想:“这里能拍吗?”毕竟那时距离我们去朝鲜一个月,在朝鲜时,这也不让拍那也不让拍的阴影尚存。要知道,在平壤机场是不允许拍照的!但这里不是朝鲜,这是印度。印度虽贫穷,但却是民主国家。不要说拍机场,连拍军人都可以。 蟋蟀头去行李区域等候行李,为节约时间,我准备去找地方换点印度卢比。所有人的攻略都会提醒你,机场汇率不好,不要多换。不要多换,但也得换一点,不然出去的车费也付不了。距离行李区域不远,有个FoREIgn exchange,尽管有前辈功略提及,机场有四家Exchange Bureau,每家的汇率会稍有不同,但如此夜深,我懒得去做比较了,只想赶快离开机场,去旅馆好好睡一觉。于是径直去这家排队。正在排队,有几个中国人从另一个方向过来,去柜台上的电脑,查看了一下汇率,然后对同伴说:“这里的汇率比之前那家好。”一听这话,我心中暗笑,还真让我撞上了。换汇要护照,汇率USD1=Rs49.1。我换了100美元,拿到手只有Rs4870,不用说,少掉的Rs40就是手续费了。出发前就预订了旅馆,因为住在背包客云集的帕哈甘吉地区,担心像尼泊尔的泰美尔一样如迷宫般难寻,又是深更半夜,便同时预订了接机服务。等我们取了行李,换好钱出来,一个举着写有我名字的纸片的小伙子,已在大厅里等候。按前人的攻略,最好在机场办理一个airtel的手机卡,3G上网非常方便,而且打电话的费用也非常便宜。于是,和小伙子说明,我得先办一个airtel的手机卡。他往右边一指,“在那边。”右边?不对啊,攻略说出来后左走,就有airtel的柜台。“印度人说的话都不可信,”此时,对于初到印度的我来说,前人的攻略对我影响很深。我自顾自地向左边走去,那里的确有一个办理手机卡的柜台,但柜台上面赫然写着:A I R C E L。aircel 与 airtel,仅一个字母之差,怎么回事?我站在门口,仔细端详了半天。“airtel在那边!”这时,接站的小伙子又指着右边对我说。好吧,信他一次。跟着他往右边走,airtel的柜台果然在那儿。其实确切地说,如果眼神好,在出口处往右边一望,就可看到airtel的招牌。好吧,前人的攻略,有时还真的不可信,宁可信一次印度人。此时,正有三个中国人在airtel的柜台上办手机卡,柜台里的阿三正忙着用手机给其中一个男生拍照,另外两个女生等候中。我问阿三还要等多久?我急着走。阿三回我,很快就好。但看他不慌不忙的速度,我真觉得这“很快就好”根本就不可能。接站小伙子又说话了,“回旅馆去办吧,那里也有airtel,费用还比这里便宜。”这一次,我决定马上相信他。我和蟋蟀头跟在小伙子的后面,出了机场,向停车场走去。他没有帮我们拿行李,一个人自顾自地快步走在前面。“他怎么不帮我们拿包呢?”我问蟋蟀头,难道印度人的接站习惯就是,不帮客人拿包?英迪拉·甘地国际机场距离我们要去的帕哈甘吉Paharganj 地区,大约20公里左右。夜色中的德里,一片安静。同夜色一样安静的,还有这个开车的小伙子。不说印度人喜欢搭讪吗?他怎么这么安静?我心中暗自嘀咕。当然,在后面的十多天行程中,经历了印度人的各种搭讪后,我只能说,印度人的确非常喜欢说话,但也总有些人,不是那么喜欢说话。大约半小时后,出租车停在了我们预定的Hotel Hari Piorko。车停下来后,他转过头,向我要车费。车费,旅馆给我的邮件中,不是说明车费Rs.700在旅馆的前台付吗?我和他解释,旅馆的邮件中是这么说明,我也只能到前台去付款,请他和我们一起去前台拿钱。他又嘀嘀咕咕说了一大堆话,不过我一句也没听懂,大意应该还是希望我能直接把钱付给他吧。我问蟋蟀头的意见。他说,既然旅馆和你约定了,在前台付车费,就还是去前台付吧,否则,你现在付给他,旅馆向你要,怎么办?我觉得蟋蟀头说的有道理。于是,我们不管他继续啰嗦,下车拿了行李就走进了旅馆。一个白发白胡子白衫的老头坐在前台,正在给一位准备退房的老外办理手续。一本硕大的登记簿放在他的前面。后来发现,每个旅馆的登记簿都和这个一模一样,像是政府规定的专用旅馆登记簿。在等候老头给老外办退房手续时,我问小伙子,“旅馆付你多少钱接机?”他说,“Rs.550。” 啊,旅馆赚得挺多。看着他可怜巴巴的眼神,我真想马上把钱付给他。好不容易等老头办完退房手续,他向我要车费了,“Rs.800”。“什么?Rs.800?你邮件里不是写好Rs.700吗?“”那就Rs.750。“老头面不改色地回答。”NO。“我准备一点也不让步。不付给他Rs.550,我就很守信用了,他居然还向我要Rs.800 ?可惜我只打印了booking.com的预定单,没有打印我和他的邮件内容。于是,我把自己整理的攻略往他面前一放,指给他看我在他的酒店名称下注明的:”在前台付pick up Rs.700- extra.“ 其实这并非邮件,他居然扫了一眼后,二话不说,马上就认账了。从他信口开河到最后认账,老头脸上的表情始终没有丝毫改变。看来,他玩这一招是玩习惯了。能唬一个就唬一个。其实,在机场坐预付费的taxi,据说是Rs.400多。他报价后,我没还价,是因为想着深更半夜安排接机,挺辛苦的,也没差多少钱,也就算了。没想到他还玩这一招,真让我觉得后悔,真该砍下他的价才对。 check in后,一个小工帮我们提着行李,领我们到了楼上的房间。房间很大,也很干净。那个king size的大床,实际上是由两个单人床拼成。后来我发现,印度好多酒店的大床都是这样拼合而成。沙发、电视、空调,房间里倒是一应俱全。据说德里因为是首都的缘故,酒店的性价比都特别差。所以,在这样热门的地段,这样的房间,这样的房价的确不算贵。对了,当时的汇率 1印度卢比=0.1182人民币元。一般我和蟋蟀头想把价格换算成人民币以作比较时,喜欢直接除以10,比较简单易算。所以,这个房价,差不多就是在北京上海如家的价格。小工去帮我们买矿泉水和打火机。因为在印度,自来水是根本不能饮用的,除非你有印度人的肠胃。不一会儿,小工回来了,把东西递给我们后,和我算钱,“两瓶矿泉水Rs.33/瓶,打火机Rs.40,一共Rs.106。”“你不说打火机只要Rs.20吗?怎么变成Rs.40呢?”我问他。“Rs.20的打火机卖完了,这个Rs.40的打火机比较好看一点。”他对我解释道。好吧,就算他说的是真的吧。我可不想这么晚了,还为这点钱和他斤斤计较。我掏出Rs.150给他,“谢谢,不用找了。”小工告辞而去。准备洗澡,才发现淋浴根本就没有热水,只有冷水。想着我在邮件里和酒店确认深夜是否有热水淋浴,他在回信中可是斩钉截铁地说“Don't worry.” 看来,问了也是白问。印度人的话还真不能信!在机场时,我还因不相信接站小伙的话而自责,现在,我又再次确信,印度人的话的确不能相信。唉,洗个冷水脸睡吧。谁让这是印度呢?! 二、捡了一对夫妇逛红堡早上起床,淋浴终于有热水了,而且水还挺好。酒店的退房时间是中午12点,等我们起床收拾完毕,已差不多12点了。因下午5点过就要坐火车去瓦拉纳西,所以我们准备先下楼和前台说一下寄存行李的事。从电梯出来,还没走两步,就被一男一女两个中国人叫住,“你们是中国人啊!”一到国外,能遇到中国人,的确会多分亲切。原来这对夫妇来自广东,到德里已经四天了。但这四天哪儿也没去,就在酒店睡觉。还从广东带了一只煲来,给自己煲汤降火。因酒店房间不干净,他们便换到这间酒店,说是比之前那家酒店干净好多。女孩叫sofoia,一个自来熟的女孩,她告诉我说,他们在印度会呆二十天,却没准备功略,问是否可以借我的攻略看看。我把手中的攻略递给她,她翻翻后说道,“这么详细啊,借我copy一下吧。”得知他们也没吃饭,便约他们到楼上餐厅一起吃饭,顺便让他们copy攻略。中午时分,餐厅里一个客人也没。估计住店的人,这个时间都到外面去玩了吧!我们四人找了阳台上一个桌子坐下,他们让服务员帮忙去复印攻略,然后我们点餐说话聊天。在得知我们下午准备去红堡后,这对夫妇打算跟我们同行。于是,在印度的第一天,我们就多了一对旅伴。而且在后面的行程中,又不断遇到新的旅伴。一位修理人员,似乎对坐在餐厅中的我们四人孰视无睹,自顾自地开始用电钻在墙上钻洞。尖利的电钻声吵得我们讲话也听不清。去向餐厅服务人员提出抗议,居然一点效果也没,我们只得被迫坐到阳台上去用餐。一推开那扇通往阳台的门,一股热浪夹杂着各种嘈杂声扑面而来。深夜抵达德里时的宁静印象,瞬间瓦解。鸽子扑愣愣地在阳台上飞来飞去,反倒弄得我们不好靠近,生怕惊到它们。实际上,我们真是过虑了。在印度,没有动物会害怕人。 对于初来乍到的我们,哪里会嫌街上吵闹,只会感到新奇无比,趴在阳台的栏杆上四处张望。街上人车拥挤。汽车、出租车、牛车、TUTU车、人力三轮车、摩托车,全部后扎堆在一起,行人却自在地穿行其中。“原来在印度被奉为神的牛也会拉车啊!”在尼泊尔看惯了到处闲着的牛,以致于我对拉车的牛也会大惊小怪。当然,在后来的行程中,我每天都会在街头看见各种闲逛的牛。但在杰伊瑟尔梅尔和一位司机的聊天中,也终于明白,印度的牛虽然罩着一层神圣的光环,但实际上却连温饱这最基本的生活需求也达不到。 远处突然传来一阵敲锣打鼓的声音,我们把脖子伸得老长,循声望去,一辆打扮花哨、车头插着旗子、车顶坐满人的汽车向我们这个方向慢慢驶来。是有什么庆祝活动吗?我们也跟着锣鼓声兴奋起来,可惜,车驶到靠近我们的一个三叉路口,一转弯,便在我们的视线中消失了。“快点出去玩吧!”此时的我们,早已按捺不住内心的兴奋,想要赶快融入那无比嘈杂混乱,却又让人激动万分的花花世界。简单吃完这顿早午餐,我俩便把行李搬到楼下,准备寄存。前台叫来一位小伙子,让我们跟着他去寄存。于是,我们跟着他,又重新返回到二楼。他掏出钥匙,打开一间房门,把我们的驮包往行李架上一放,问我们房号,然后把房号写在一个上,往驮包上一挂就OK啦。我问他,“你不给我什么凭证吗?那我凭什么来取包?”他说,“取包时,说你的房号就可以了。”这样也可以?我满肚子狐疑。我已经退房了,现在的房间很快就会住进新的客人吧,我也只需报个房号就可以取走行李?不会搞错吗?“No problem!”他回答我。印度人喜欢说No problem,而事实上,我们认为很多不可思议的地方,于他们而言,真的不是什么问。他们有他们的习惯,仅此而已。只是我们不能理解罢了。在后面的行程中,所有酒店寄存行李都用的是这种方式,告诉他你的房号就行,当然他们也一次都没弄错过。 下午1330时分的德里街头,阳光灼烈,热浪袭人。sofoia 用帽子和口罩把自己包裹得严严实实。而此时的蟋蟀头,在T恤外还套了一件摄影背心,一副摄影人的准行头。当然,这件摄影背心,他在印度也只穿过这一天。因为,印度的高温与烈日,把蟋蟀头的专业形象彻底打败。 酒店距离新德里火车站仅500米,因Main Bazar上TUTU车较少,不利于讲价,我们准备步行到火车站再找TUTU车。火车站门口TUTU车的确很多,但就像商量好了一样,众口一辞,去红堡的车费一律Rs.100/辆,根本没有讨价还价的余地。于是,我们要了两辆TUTU车,一前一后向红堡奔去。在印度坐TUTU车,实在是一个惊险刺激又好玩的游戏,尤其是在车辆拥挤的路上,又或者在狭窄的小巷。每个司机似乎都车技了得,左冲右突,灵巧无比。车与车之间经常擦肩而过,最近的距离似乎只有0.1,车速却丝毫不会减慢,也没有什么交通事故发生。司机总是悠然自得,只有我们这些乘客才会一惊一乍。因路上交通堵塞,大概花了近半小时,我们才抵达红堡。下车时,司机示意我们,我们得走前面的地道,才能穿行到路的右边。因为在印度,车辆是靠道路左侧行驶。地道阴暗,味道难闻。有乞讨的小孩坐在墙角,也有流浪的人躺成一排。眼之所及,只觉凄凉,不禁让我想起电影《贫民窟中的百万富翁》中的场景。快步走出地道,重新回到杂乱的街面,我不禁深深地呼了一口气。阳光灿烂的感觉,实在比阴暗阴沉要好太多。转个弯,沙岩筑成的红堡便出现在了我们面前。到了红堡,先迫不及待地来一张到此一游照。虽然红堡是德里的重要景点之一,但对于将要去拉贾斯坦邦的人,往往都会直接忽略掉这个城堡。因为,在历史悠久的拉贾斯坦,散布着众多迷人的宫殿与古堡,一路走去,直到你审美疲劳。如此一来,德里的红堡,相较之下,似乎就逊色许多,以致于大多数人都直接把它cancel掉。我之所以想去红堡,只因为它是由沙· 贾汉所建。这个因建造了泰姬陵而名垂千秋的国王,因酷爱艺术与建筑,在他统治期间,一些极好的莫卧尔艺术和建筑的精品被创造了出来。在泰姬陵动工后的第七年,1638年,沙· 贾汉开始修建红堡,历时十年完工。([]
