Tibet 2005 (Kangshung Valley)

My first trip to Tibet. We started in Kathmandu and flew from there to Lhasa. We stayed a few days in Lhasa before we spend some time on the Mila Pass, east of Lhasa. Then we drove to Kharta where we started our 10-day Kangshung trek, which is close to Mount Everest. After that we drove back to Kathmandu over the famous Friendship Highway. A very rewarding but hard trip on which we found a Meconopsis new to science.(now named: Meconopsis tibetica)
