Chengdu-Lhasa 2009 - Harry Jans

Chengdu-Lhasa 2009

One of my best tours ever! In the last week of June and the first two in July. Overland with 8 jeeps, starting in Chengdu and ending in Lhasa! On this tour we saw many different habitats and plants and visited places not seen by many foreigners before. The scenery was awesome, from dry areas to grasslands and high mountains up to 7500m. In this photo album you will see plants never photographed before.
