I travelled throught Tibet in 2005 and visited Jyekundo for a few days. I was searching for rare and unusal birds with some friends. We travelled over the plateau from Xining to Qinghhai Lake, Rubber Mountain, Gong-he, Madoi, Er La Pass, and other places I can’t recall without my notes. Your description of the place is wonderfully accurate. Like nowhere else on Earth. The vast spaces and the huge skies take your breath away.

I also taught English for a few years overseas so I can doubly empathise with you! I wish I were there. I hope you have an amazing time and come back with lots of fantastic memories that will never leave you.

My husband is from Nangchen (Xiangda, 4 hours from Jyekundo,) and I completely understand your difficulty with the language. My Tibetan is a smattering of Lhasa dialect as the exile community mostly speaks, and of the Nangchen my husband teaches me.
I’m looking forward to reading the rest of your posts.
