Between Bayi and Bomi

Our political guide was afraid

This truck would not go on the outside, we had too

Near Bomi

On the return to Bayi

My quick escape hike at the Grand canyon of the Yarlung River

The goal of the "10 min" hike: The bridge

Like around Seattle or in Austria

A quick rest for lunch

Cheap beer on sale!

Entering the Yarlung Tsangpo River Valley

Rapeseeds and sand dunes

Going upstream to drier and drier areas

No Comment

We didn't want to stay too long behind that one!

The police checked us out everywhere and made us feel so safe

Careful!

Best to close your eyes
