Day 27 continued..

 

Now we are approaching this beautiful Alpine Lake:

 

This is simply a shortcut connector from Friendship Highway (318) to Tibet-Xinjiang Highway (219) and this stretch is not part of any highway:

 

Awe Inspiring vista is simply amazing!! :

 

Now you need to do off-roading to reach close to Lake:

Amazing Vista all around:

 

Closer to this alpine lake Pieku Tso:

 

Toyota Landcruiser, the most reliable transport in Tibet Plateau for ages, though I heard in 2014, China is going to ban all these 10 years old Land Cruisers and if they really do that (which we would know close to April) it would create a big mess for all journey to Tibet in 2014 and cost of the trip would be rising :

 

Last glance to Peiku Tso:

 

The Great Himalayan wall:

 

Approaching a small town in Himalayan Kingdom:
