Acclimatization in Nyalam

We left Zhangmu at about 10 after some hassle with our jeep license, because when you are in Tibet everything has a Chinese license...

Small Tibetan roads took us up to the Tibetan high plateau, some sections had a lot of of snow. There were about five meter high snow walls on both sides of the road at one passage. The dug out corridor was not quite dug out for the tibetan trolleys driving through the snow corridor so they kept hitting the snow walls on both sides!

Once in Nyalam we did a bit of hiking and bouldering on some blocks just above the village. We will stay in Nyalam tomorrow and go for a longer acclimatization hike.
