From yesterday 1509m,we started the climb,one hill after another at a very slow speed of 4-5 kmh,then a bit of short flat,then up again to a max 2633m.The weather is getting cooler and cooler abt 15-18c .There are many wooden stalls selling honney and horse milk in recycling plastic bottles. There is no towns or even village,what you can find are
yurts and tents scattered along the roadsides. So another nite of camping,there is plenty of water from the rivers and finding a good campsite with green grass & river is not a problem. Tonite will be a very cold nite and tomorrow the climb will continues...
