Map

Here's a pretty sketchy map.
Day 1: Lhasa to just Left of the "G" of Gonkar... that's halfway up the Khumba La.

Day 2: From just left of the "G" of Gonkar to almost Nangartse, kinda halfway along the arm of the Scorpion Lake, Yamdrok Tso.

Day 3: To Nangartse

Day 4: Attempted to ride all the way to Gyantse, but didn't get there. Got 2/3rds of the way there and camped near the ruins/dam/explosive roadworks.

Day 5: From there to Gyantse.

Day 6: Gyantse to Shigatse... 100km time trial!

And that's where we are today (Day 7, rest day). The rest of the plan is:

Days 8-9: Shigatse to Lhatse, with a pass (Lagpa La 4500m) in between about 2/3rds of the way.

Days 10-11: Over the Gyatso La pass (hellish - 5200m) to turn-off to Everest Base Camp near Shekar Dz.

Days 12-13: Up to Rongphu (monastery) which is about 8km from Everest Base Camp. ?Stay the night at EBC.

Days 14-15: Make our way to Dingri, with 2 options.

Days 16-20: From Dingri to Kathmandu, down a massive hill.

That's the rough plan.

We're getting out of here... this internet cafe has too many smokers. Yewk.

Tim's talking about Google Earthing it... I haven't tried myself but I will when I get home!
