周淑慧刚进入总统府映入眼帘的就是满眼的绿色总统府大楼充满热带风情的乌敏岛 到新加坡旅行，如果时间合适，一定要去总统府参观了。到新加坡容易，恰巧遇到总统府开放却很难了。 我在新加坡时，正好遇到就立即赶往参观。 新加坡总统府（Istana），在马来语中是皇宫的之意，迄今已有140年历史，其前身曾经是英殖民期间修建的一座白色三层官邸。戒备森严的新加坡总统府汇集了多种建筑风格，四周有雕刻精美的珠子，极富古典韵味。 从1995年1月2日起，它成为定期向大众开放的自然观赏区（每年4-5次），一般在农历新年、劳动节、新加坡国庆节、马来开斋节、印度圣火节才会开放。进门1新元（相当于人民币约5元），进入礼宾厅2新元。如果运气好的话，有可能见到新加坡总统和总理，甚至可以和他们亲切握手。 入门要安检，很简单，过门之后一眼望去就是高尔夫球场了，走了半天没有看到什么建筑还以为是在植物园。其实总统府所在地之前就是个肉豆蔻种植园，昔日是英国皇室代表的官邸。礼宾厅是总统会见各国宾客的地方，里面展览了各国赠送的银器，珠宝，有超大的象牙，镶宝石的地毯，各种雕像。里面不可以拍照，警卫戒备森严。 去乌敏岛需在樟宜角渡轮码头（ChangiPointFerryTerminal）通过安检（相当于出国了），搭乘约10-15分钟渡船，渡船费用单程2.5新元，上岛免费。 乌敏岛（PulauUbin）是新加坡第三大外岛，乌敏岛位于新加坡本岛东北部，其东面与德光岛相望，北面有柔佛海峡。乌敏岛东西长约8公里，南北宽1.3至1.7公里，地形有如腰果，全岛面积10.2平方公里。乌敏岛的中部是自然次生林。此外，一些橡胶园和椰树林也零星散布在岛的各处。 岛上住的居民不到50人，主要是上了年纪舍而不得离开的老居民。这些居民，喜欢在上午时分到咖啡店叙家常。这里的生活步调，比起过于城市化的本岛，明显慢了许多。乌敏岛的东部是新加坡重要的一个湿地自然保护区：ChekJawa（仄爪哇）。这个面积约100公顷的海边湿地是最后的岩石海滩之一。这里的生态环境相当独特，包括了沙滩、岩滩、海草泻湖、珊瑚碎片、红树林和滨海森林等。 岛上可骑脚踏车或徒步漫游整个岛屿，岛上有很多脚踏车租车店，也可以在此露营，岛上设有度假村，还提供各种水上活动。感受新加坡之一——漫步岛国看狮城 干净清新亦繁华（概述篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2172957-1-1.html感受新加坡之二——休闲小岛走不停 亚洲最南寻风情（圣淘沙篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2172957-1-1.html感受新加坡之三——参天巨树生满园热带风情绿无限（植物园篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2231866-1-1.html感受新加坡之五——海风轻拂鱼尾狮 流光溢彩夜迟迟（滨海湾篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2255988-1-1.html感受新加坡之六——狮城国花胡姬花千姿百态芬芳开（胡姬花篇）https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&;tid=2299743&page=1&extra=#pid58352540感受新加坡之七——小印度里寻缩影甘榜格南回族情（新加坡河等篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2322447-1-1.html 感受新加坡之八——立体交通路纵横街道小区绿充盈（交通和街道篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2326625-1-1.html 感受新加坡之九——狮城春节气息浓牛车水里最喜庆（春节和牛车水篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2330106-1-1.html感受新加坡之十——方式灵活有初院 环境优美好校园（南初篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2344728-1-1.html感受新加坡之十一——享誉全球名高校 环境优雅美校园（南大篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2354269-1-1.html 总统府大门 进入总统府，迎面就是绿色。 茂盛的热带植物 绿草如茵且允许随意踩踏。 在总统府见到巡逻的警车。整个新加坡很难看到警车。 总统府大楼 乘船驶向乌敏岛 乌敏岛码头 乌敏岛上的湖泊 新加坡示意图 总统府和乌敏岛在新加坡的位置 进入总统府前，自觉排队等待进入的人们。 总统府内游人不少 热带参天巨树 树干上也生长着其他植物 这里的草坪很漂亮，可谓芳草萋萋。 盛开的热带花卉 置身总统府院内，仿佛置身绿色和鲜花丛中。 妖艳的热带花卉 总统府大楼有人很多，也许大家都盼着能巧遇总统呢。 花卉的海洋 热带花卉红的艳丽 总统府内的热带花园 巨树苍天 总统府内摆放的很有些历史的大炮 在总统府远眺滨海湾大楼 游人可以再草坪上随意的散步 巨树随处可见 正在自拍的游人([]

白英琴序六年前。我刚开始练习瑜伽，瑜伽馆的一位老师，每年都会去印度呆上一段时间，学习瑜伽。那一次，他准备带学生一同前往。我虽心向往之，但他计划的时间，我完全没有假期，只好作罢。我记得他对大家说，在印度不能乱吃东西，否则很容易拉肚子。一年前。深夜，妹夫从印度打来电话，说妹妹因染上登革热，高烧不退，住进了医院，白细胞和血小板不断减少，医生说，如果血小板继续减少，就需要输血，建议由直系亲属输血。妹妹已是第二次去印度，因妹夫被成都的公司外派到德里，负责印度市场的销售，所以这两年的十一，她都会去印度探望他。前年呆了一月，她安然无恙。怎么这一次，只是因为被蚊子叮咬，就染上了登革热？而事实上，每年9、10月份，都是印度中北部地区登革热高发期，卫生条件的不完善便是重要原因。当时，我对蟋蟀头说，没想到，我会因这种原因去印度。赶紧上网查询如何办理印度证。妹夫说，再等一晚，看这晚我妹的身体状况再作决定。所幸，那一晚妹妹的相关指数开始出现好转，并于三天后顺利出院。但，“明年我们去印度吧”，就这样提上了议程。在S姐的建议下，我们提前大半年就订好了去印度的往返机票。我不是喜欢做功略的人，但想去的地方太多，时间却太少，提前做好计划，便能让旅行变得从容点。尤其是，印度软件业发达，提前四个月便能在网上订火车票，电子票打印出来，就可直接使用，方便程度远甚于中国铁路；印度的许多旅馆都有自己的网站，可网上在线订房，也可通过发邮件的方式预订。当然，在订票订房的过程中，也发生过种种问，种种纠结，和阿三们不断通过邮件进行沟通。但渐渐，我发现这也很有趣，我的印度之行，似乎提前几个月便已开始。我关心行程，蟋蟀头却只关心安全。毕竟，这是一个不可思议的国度。不可思议，并不是我说的，这可是印度旅游局的全球宣传口号：Incredible India不可思议的印度。今年7月30日和31日，接连发生在印度北部的两次大停电事故，使得印度半个国家瘫痪，6亿多人的日常生活受到影响，占印度总人口的一半左右。美联社称：“有史以来最大的停电事故已由印度创造！”同样是7月下旬，印度东北部阿萨姆邦土著与穆斯林移民爆发种族冲突，并酿成大规模流血事件。8月25日，又发生两起新的攻击，使得该邦因骚乱死亡人数累计接近90人，数千人流离失所。因太多人逃离，一度造成该地区的铁路中枢系统瘫痪。所以，蟋蟀头的担心，并非毫无道理。我和他解释，我们去的虽然是印度北部，但主要是在拉贾斯坦邦，和那个发生冲突的地区没有一点关系。至于停电嘛，好吧，我也不知道到时是否会发生，但，如果发生的时候，我们可以身在其中，我觉得这也非常有劲。的确，对于爱冒险的我来说，印度正因为种种不可思议，才充满无限魅力。在游记开始之前，让我们先来唱颂一次OM，shanti shanti shantihi （欧姆，香缇 香缇 香缇 嘿）这是我们每次瑜伽课开始和结束时，都会唱颂的一句话。OM，被瑜伽认为是最古老最神圣的梵音，是万物源头的声音，是内在的声音。而香缇，则意为平和、和谐。这也是我在瓦拉纳西的恒河河祭时听到的唱颂声，在日落时的斋浦尔、焦特浦尔城市上方回响的晚祷声。。。唱颂OM的力量，可为你打开心扉，将内心做一次清理。因为我希望你能暂时抛开关于印度的种种成见与偏见，跟随我的游记来一次印度之旅。以平和的心态，去看待印度的好与不好。毕竟，正因这些神奇，成就了这个不可思议的国度。一、抵达...........................................................P5二、捡了一对夫妇逛红堡.....................................P8三、火车旅行.................................................... P24四、瓦拉纳西，在生命的大剧场里出离 .................P36五、泰姬陵，故事比宫殿更美妙............................P89六、斋浦尔。意想不到的美好...............................P124七、乌代浦尔。有一种浪漫叫相遇.........................P167八、千柱庙。千根石柱万般风情............................P195九、焦特浦尔。寻找日益消失的蓝.........................P206十、杰伊瑟尔梅尔。金色之城的探险之旅................P219十一、德里。起点，也是终点................................P229 这次一反常规，在游记开始前先奉上功略，只因为我想鼓励那些对印度感兴趣的同学，如果喜欢，就上路吧。上路，其实没你想像中那么复杂。证篇办理印度证，最早只能在出发前一个月。只要准备好相应材料，印度证非常容易申请，一般在提交资料后五个工作日内便可领取证。送后，在上海印度证中心的网站上，可在线查询证受理的进度。审核完成，便可去证中心领取护照。在上海办理印度证需准备如下材料：1、证申请表一份。（在线填写https//www.vfs-india.com.cn/shanghai/chinese/tourist_appliCATionform.html，并打印）2、2张近期（50mm

火车篇作为铁轨上的国度，印度是亚洲最早拥有铁路系统的国家，至今已有150多年的铁路历史。铁路总长63200多公里，亚洲第二、世界第三。到印度旅行，不能不坐火车，因为它是最便捷的交通工具。而且，在这个不靠谱的国家，尽管火车晚点现象严重，但还是要比乘飞机靠谱许多。 1、购票网站www.cleartrip.com 非常好用的购票网站，不仅可以订火车票，也可订机票及住宿。 提前四个月就可订票。座位等级分为：AC First Class(1A)/AC2 Tier/ AC3 Tier/AC Chair Car(CC)/Sleeper(SL)/Second sitting(2s)带AC的都是空调车厢，AC1是软卧，分隔成一间间，有房门；AC2与AC3都是空调硬卧，区别在于AC2是两层卧铺，AC3是三层卧铺。 印度有严格的等级制，体现在火车上就是，非该等级的乘客不得随意进入。一般乘坐AC的都是社会阶层比较高的印度人，素质相对较高，车厢比较干净整洁。而乘坐二等座的则是社会地位较低的印度人，车厢内脏乱差，甚至连窗户也没。 印度火车票不贵，与中国相比，便宜很多。天气热的时候去印度，建议还是选空调车厢吧，对自己好一点，没啥不对。当然，如果以体验为名，想和当地印度人挤二等车厢，那你得作好万全的心理准备。但如果是单身女性上路，严重不建议。 2、cleartrip今年的订票新规，账号必须与印度铁路局IRCTC的账号相关联，但IRCTC的账号又必须用印度当地的手机号注册并激活。此新规一度让准备去印度的同学不知所措，但很快便有同学找到相应解决办法，并通过一次次实践加以完善。前人栽树，后人乘凉，详细的账号注册功略请参考此帖：《完全图解印度火车账号注册成功》https//bbs.qyer.com/viewthread.php?tid=635989&extra=page%3D1 3、订火车票是实名制，详细到还需写明性别与年龄。用VISA或者MasterCard的信用卡进行网上支付。订票成功后，打印出来，便可直接使用。火车上列车员会查一次票，出示打印出来的电子票即可。AC First ClassAC2AC3 住宿篇大多时候，都是在火车上睡一宿，第二天早晨到。再加上乘火车可以预先知道出发与到达的时间，所以时间相对比较确定，建议提前预定旅馆，再要求旅馆提供接站服务，既可避免在火车站与tutu司机砍价，在路上被tutu司机忽悠，还可节省车费（我们的六段火车，全是免费接站）以及时间。也许你会问，如果少了这些，是不是少了很多体验？当然不会，因为除了长途坐火车，在一个城市里的交通主要还是tutu，你被他们忽悠以及反忽悠的机会多了去了。一、推荐预定住宿的网站：1、www.booking.com，网页显示可选择中文，而且每个旅馆都有世界各地游客的点评，非常简单好用。2、www.cleartrip.com，印度本地的网站，从网站界面上说，和booking.com一样好用，但全英文的页面，对于中国人来说，肯定不如全中文页面来得清楚。而且有时同一个旅店，在cleartrip上订需预先付费，但booking就不需要，而且在入住日期前几天，还可无条件取消预订。所以此次行程，如果没有旅店的官方网站，我就在booking.com上预定。二、推荐查看旅店评价的网站：www.tripadvisor.in中文版即 到到网此网站只能查询，不能预订，所以从某个角度来说，上面的点评比较中肯。即使是别人游记中推荐的旅馆，建议你还是来此网站上看看大家对该旅馆的评价。虽然个人感受都比较主观，也许一只老鼠就可毁掉你对这家旅馆的所有好印象，也可能会因一个小花园而对它赞不绝口。尽管如此，综合大多数人的点评，你还是可以有个比较全面的了解，以更好做出你的选择。所以，我们此次行程订的七家旅馆，除了最后一家稍微有点不值，其余都非常好。为了方便大家参考，我把预订的七家旅馆逐一作个点评。但需要提醒的是，房间不同、时间不同，房价差异会很大。每年10月下旬至3月，印度较为凉爽，比较适合旅行，房价会比夏季价格偏贵。 1、德里——Hotel Hari Piorko价格： Rs.1650+10%= Rs.1815/晚 住一晚 从机场接机Rs.700预订方式：www.book.com预订点评：位置非常好，位于背包客云集的帕哈甘吉地区，也就是鼎鼎大名的Main Bazaar。距离新德里火车站500米，距离康诺特广场1公里。我通过邮件，预订了酒店的接机服务，对方在邮件里告诉我，到酒店前台付出租车的费用。可到了酒店，工作人员却出尔反尔，明明说好是Rs.700，却要收Rs.800，当然，最后也只收了Rs.700。另外，我们到酒店住下时已是凌晨三点，淋浴只有冷水，没有热水。关于淋浴，我曾特地在邮件里和酒店确认过，因为在tripadvisor上有人点评说，酒店晚上没有热水淋浴。酒店在邮件里保证，一定有热水淋浴的，请我放心。说得那么肯定，结果还是没热水。不过，到了早晨，热水淋浴倒是蛮好的。除了那两点，该酒店各方面都还不错，在tripadvisor上的口碑很好，也是cleartrip推荐的酒店之一。推荐指数：★★★☆☆其余酒店参考：Ginger Hotel（Ginger New Delhi）：距离新德里火车站200米，连锁酒店，类似如家。坐机场快线到火车站，出来后对面就是。https//www.gingerhotels.com/HotelSearchResults/Default.aspx本打算预订这家酒店，但提前几个月，网站就显示新德里店房间全满。据说这只是酒店的营销策略而已，因为新德里店位置较好，大家往往都订这家店，而导致在德里的另一连锁店没有生意，所以一般只会提前一点时间开放预订。我觉得酒店这种想法很奇怪，我们并不会因为你这家店满了，就选择你的另一家店，我完全可以选择相同地段的其他店。印度人的思维模式有时真的很奇怪。 2、瓦拉纳西——Scindhia Guest House价格：Rs.1800 + 12.42% tax = Rs.2025/晚（含早餐）有阳台，有空调，有冰箱 住两晚预订方式：酒店网站https//www.scindhiaguesthouse.com/index.html 在线预订Email：scindhiaguesthouse@yahoo.com点评：酒店就在恒河边，每个房间都面向恒河。因为在焚尸台Scindhia Ghat旁边，所以酒店的名字是Scindhia Guest House。酒店非常干净，地板擦得很亮，和外面的环境相比宛如两个世界。酒店口碑极好，最好提前预订，但很多人都抱怨发了邮件去订房，却没有任何回音，只好放弃。建议直接在酒店网页上在线预订。我当时在网上在线填写预订表格并提交，十七天后，酒店发来邮件，确认我的预订。虽然我对这家酒店强烈推荐，但我写到这里，刚看了一下网站，相同的房间，房价已涨至Rs.3373，房价有效期从2012-10-1至2013-3-31。推荐指数：★★★★★其余酒店参考：Alka Hotel, www.hotelalkavns.com因座落在恒河边，被好些网友称为瓦拉纳西的首选。我发邮件询价，然后看tripadvisor上对该酒店的最新评价都不太好，说房间旧，不干净，服务也不好。酒店回我邮件告诉价格，尽管房价比Scindhia Guest House便宜许多，我还是没有选择这家。房间外的阳台相连我们的房间，有阳台，有空调，有冰箱从阳台上看到的恒河风景 3、阿格拉——Sai Home Stay Bed &; Breakfast价格：Rs.1550/晚（含早餐）住一晚预订方式：www.book.com预订酒店Email：saihomestay@yahoo.com点评：选中这家，只能说是缘分，看tripadvisor上的评价，很多人认为是在印度住过的最好的一家酒店，便让我立即决定选择它。尽管从旅馆的名字来看，似乎只是一家小得不能再小的家庭旅馆。旅馆真的不大，只有几个房间，但房间却挺大，装修很新，很干净。有一个小花园，小得只能放下一张桌子，但在那里吃早餐，却是非常温馨。老板很亲切，很有气质，英语说得非常好，一看就属于印度的中上层人士。他家的菜也做得非常好吃。尤其是餐具，精致漂亮，感觉他是一个很会生活的人。而且这家还是我们此行中最便宜的一家旅馆！推荐指数：★★★★★我们的房间小花园 4、斋普尔——The Umaid bhawan heritage Hotel价格：Rs. 2600/晚（含早餐）有空调，有冰箱 住两晚预订方式：酒店网站https//www.umaidbhawan.com/index.htm 在线预订，需输入信用卡信息作为预定担保，如果在预订时间没有入住该酒店，会被扣掉相应房费。点评：这是我们行程中房价第二贵的一家酒店，因火车晚上 22：20才到斋浦尔，加上晚点因素，估计我们到酒店都快24点了，但也要算一晚的房费，定这么贵的房是否有必要？但酒店网页上的照片实在太漂亮了，美轮美奂的，让我完全失去抵抗力。等我们入住后，我有多庆幸选择了这家酒店！从进房间的一刻开始，我就给房间的每个角落拍照；第二天起床吃早餐，也是从门外的露台茶几，拍到餐厅；晚上又继续拍阳台上的露天餐厅与歌舞表演。拉贾斯坦在建筑和绘画上的艺术风格，在这家酒店得以淋漓尽致地呈现，精致的壁画、装饰，屋顶、屋角细致描绘的花纹，无不透着浓浓的异域气息。免费供应的早餐，并非简单的土司、蛋卷，而是丰盛的自助餐，味道还非常赞。晚餐是在露台上的餐厅，不仅有现场歌舞表演，还有现烤的羊肉，食物味道不错，我俩都爱上了那里一道用茄子做的菜肴。而且，我在这里喝到了来印度后的第一瓶啤酒。要知道，印度的很多餐厅都不供应啤酒的，因为大多数人不吃荤不喝酒不抽烟。推荐指数：★★★★★其余酒店参考：Hotel Pearl Palace, https//hotelpearlpalace.com/LP推荐，网上口碑很好。但我提前四个月预订定，也没订到，酒店回我邮件，说已客满。我很庆幸这家挤满驴友的酒店客满，有时，我比较喜欢能找一些与众不同，但又很有特色的旅馆。 5、乌代浦尔——Hibiscus Guest House 价格：Rs.2000/晚 住两晚预订方式：www.hibiscusinudaipur.com/index.html 发邮件预订酒店Email：hibiscus-udaipur@hotmail.com点评：这家酒店由tripadvisor推荐，网友评价排名第六。距离那家鼎鼎大名的dreamheaven guest house很近，走路5分钟就到。之所以没有选择据说位置超赞的dreamheaven，是因为那家被 LP推荐的酒店，历史实在太长，完全可以想像酒店陈设的老旧。在tripadvisor上果然看到很多这样的评价，让我毅然决定选择一个新旅馆。这家酒店距离湖边仅5分钟，有个雅致的小花园，非常安静。住了整整两天，除了我俩，没看到一个住客，以致于蟋蟀头在第一天就有想换酒店的冲动。我却很喜欢这样的静谧。没住dreamheaven，但可以去那里吃饭啊，据说那里的食物味道很好。但去了dreamheaven后，我非常庆幸自己的选择，dreamheaven实在太老旧了，窄小漆黑的过道，让我感觉随时都有老鼠在这里串来串去。第二天去dreamheaven旁边的一家高级酒店Karohi Haveli上厕所，顺便参观一圈后，更是让我对自己的选择欣喜。Karohi Haveli几层楼高，是家名副其实的酒店，但个人感觉酒店大而冰冷，没有小旅馆那种温暖气息。房间也没有比Hibiscus 更好。Karohi Haveli是一个网友游记中的强烈推荐，她是因为老鼠乱串，房间环境不好，从dreamheaven中逃出来的，于是把Karohi Haveli描绘得如天堂般。我很早就写了邮件想要预订这家旅馆，在邮件中我写了check in的时间，向酒店询价，酒店回我邮件，告诉了我几种房间的房价。价格很高，我又是一轮邮件和他砍价，最后他同意给我一个折扣价，面朝湖的Super DeLUXE ，Rs.3000/晚。尽管房费依然偏贵，但我想，既然在印度最浪漫的城市，住贵一点的酒店无妨。于是马上回邮件，告诉他我就定这间了，请他确认我的预订。没想到，酒店回我，这个价格只在4月-9月有效，不适用于我预订的10月。真是晕倒，我在第一封询价的邮件里就写得很清楚了，我抵达的时间是10月7日！价格不适用于10月，他给我报价干嘛？还这么折腾要了一个折扣价。再问他，那10月的价格何时出来？他回答说不知道。于是，我彻底放弃这家酒店。印度人有时教条得真是不可理喻。推荐指数：★★★★★其他酒店参考：1、dreamheaven guest house：https//www.dreamheaven.co.in/index.html 邮址：info@dreamheaven.co.in2、Karohi Haveli： https//www.karohihaveli.com/tariff.htm 6、焦特浦尔Jodhpur：Jee Ri Haveli 价格：Rs.2000/晚（含早餐） 有空调、有阳台、免费WIFI

点评：酒店位置非常好，屋顶餐厅和阳台上都可以看到梅兰加尔古堡，感觉古堡近在咫尺。酒店老板热情得让你难以招架，亲自领我们进房间，介绍周围景点，赠送地图。他希望蟋蟀头帮他拍点照片放在他的酒店网页上，但他的举动又让我们有点不快。我们临走时，他竟要求我们给他的员工付小费，我们虽没有拒绝，但感觉奇怪。淋浴不好。于我而言，一旦淋浴不好，对该酒店的印象就会大打折扣。如果楼顶阳台上的煤气罐没开，就没有热水。而酒店并不会24小时打开煤气罐，晚上如果没有特别提醒，肯定会关掉。但这一点，我们最初并不知晓，老板领我们进房间时，讲了很多，却没讲这点。只说打开淋浴后几分钟就会有热水。晚上我洗澡时，等了十多分钟，也仅一点温水。等蟋蟀头去洗澡时，已经纯粹是冷水。因夜已深，我不太想再去叫醒酒店人员。但第二天早上，淋浴依然是冷水，出去问老板，他面带笑容地告诉我说，“洗澡前和我们说一下就行了！”无语。我洗澡前还要和你说吗？推荐指数：★★★☆☆我们的房间酒店的露台餐厅房间的阳台

点评：这是我们此行所住的七家酒店中，最贵的一家，但也是最令人失望的一家。可能正应了那句话，期望越大，失望越大。网上介绍，此家酒店距离杰伊瑟尔梅尔古堡只有500米远，精致的哈维利，只有七个房间，每个房间都不一样。哈维利haveli，是拉贾斯坦的传统民居，由石头筑成，装饰华丽，以石雕匠的精工细作为特色。想像中，住在金色的沙漠之城，住在具有异域风情的哈维利里，感觉一点非常美好。此家酒店的确是以石头筑成，有石头雕成的假窗，在桔黄色的灯光映衬下，拍出来的照片也挺美，但仅此而已。房间不大，没有桌子或茶几让蟋蟀头摆弄他的笔记本，让每天都要导照片看照片的他恼火不已。淋浴也不好。如果要洗澡，只能白天，或者晚上22点前。22点后就只有冷水。房间由石头砌成，隔音效果却不好。清晨我们还未醒，工作人员在与我们相隔一个房间的洗手间洗拖帕的声音，真是声声清脆，声声入耳。推荐指数：★☆☆☆☆ 功略写完了。我提供的功略较为简单扼要，只有最基本的证与住行，并没有各种注意事项等细节。那些细节，我更愿意用游记的形式与你分享。我认为，功略应该成为你的拐仗，而非限制；要因为功略，使你的旅行更加从容，而不要因为功略，给自己设定太多条条框框。如果你有完全充足的时间，也许你可以完全无视功略，走到哪儿算哪儿。也许处处有惊喜，但也有可能惊喜变成惊吓。不管怎样，用享受的心情开始旅行吧。游记，正式开始。。。 一、抵达于我而言，很少有提前大半年做旅行计划这件事。印度，是第一次。出发那天是晚上2105，白天上班，我竟开始拉肚子。暗自嘲弄自己，不至于吧，印度还没到了！但庆幸的是，在印度的17天，我没有拉过一次肚子。从上海直飞德里，全程六小时。晚上抵达时，北京时间凌晨340，但印度时间却是 0110。是的，印度与中国有2.5个小时的时差。来到印度的这一刻，时间便又回流了2个半小时。刚走进机场大楼，就有一些同航班的同学驻足，对着这两幅俊男靓女的照片拍个不停。虽不好意思加入其中，但我还是在他们离去后，不能免俗地赶快按了一张。为什么不好意思？因为，这是厕所！先暂时抛开你想像中的脏乱差的印度吧，至少对于初来乍到的我们，呈现在我们眼前的英迪拉·甘地国际机场，干净、明亮、现代，甚至，透着一股禅的气息。在办理出关的地方，一面金色圆盘为底的装饰墙上，有11个手势各异的佛手印，唯一的相同之处是，掌心中都有一朵莲花。手印，是瑜伽修炼时手的姿式。瑜伽认为，手印象征着特殊的愿力，会带来身体与意念的力量。手印分为很多种，不同的手印，对身心有着不同的影响。比如，第一张照片中左数第二个，拇指与中指相连，是能量手印，意即将上天中的能量善加利用，是瑜伽中最常用的手印之一。而莲花，则是印度的国花，与佛教与印度教都有很深的渊源。蟋蟀头正在柜台，等候印度大叔审核证。拍这张照时，我还本能地在想：“这里能拍吗？”毕竟那时距离我们去朝鲜一个月，在朝鲜时，这也不让拍那也不让拍的阴影尚存。要知道，在平壤机场是不允许拍照的！但这里不是朝鲜，这是印度。印度虽贫穷，但却是民主国家。不要说拍机场，连拍军人都可以。 蟋蟀头去行李区域等候行李，为节约时间，我准备去找地方换点印度卢比。所有人的攻略都会提醒你，机场汇率不好，不要多换。不要多换，但也得换一点，不然出去的车费也付不了。距离行李区域不远，有个FoREIgn exchange，尽管有前辈功略提及，机场有四家Exchange Bureau，每家的汇率会稍有不同，但如此夜深，我懒得去做比较了，只想赶快离开机场，去旅馆好好睡一觉。于是径直去这家排队。正在排队，有几个中国人从另一个方向过来，去柜台上的电脑，查看了一下汇率，然后对同伴说：“这里的汇率比之前那家好。”一听这话，我心中暗笑，还真让我撞上了。换汇要护照，汇率USD1=Rs49.1。我换了100美元，拿到手只有Rs4870，不用说，少掉的Rs40就是手续费了。出发前就预订了旅馆，因为住在背包客云集的帕哈甘吉地区，担心像尼泊尔的泰美尔一样如迷宫般难寻，又是深更半夜，便同时预订了接机服务。等我们取了行李，换好钱出来，一个举着写有我名字的纸片的小伙子，已在大厅里等候。按前人的攻略，最好在机场办理一个airtel的手机卡，3G上网非常方便，而且打电话的费用也非常便宜。于是，和小伙子说明，我得先办一个airtel的手机卡。他往右边一指，“在那边。”右边？不对啊，攻略说出来后左走，就有airtel的柜台。“印度人说的话都不可信，”此时，对于初到印度的我来说，前人的攻略对我影响很深。我自顾自地向左边走去，那里的确有一个办理手机卡的柜台，但柜台上面赫然写着：A I R C E L。aircel 与 airtel，仅一个字母之差，怎么回事？我站在门口，仔细端详了半天。“airtel在那边！”这时，接站的小伙子又指着右边对我说。好吧，信他一次。跟着他往右边走，airtel的柜台果然在那儿。其实确切地说，如果眼神好，在出口处往右边一望，就可看到airtel的招牌。好吧，前人的攻略，有时还真的不可信，宁可信一次印度人。此时，正有三个中国人在airtel的柜台上办手机卡，柜台里的阿三正忙着用手机给其中一个男生拍照，另外两个女生等候中。我问阿三还要等多久？我急着走。阿三回我，很快就好。但看他不慌不忙的速度，我真觉得这“很快就好”根本就不可能。接站小伙子又说话了，“回旅馆去办吧，那里也有airtel，费用还比这里便宜。”这一次，我决定马上相信他。我和蟋蟀头跟在小伙子的后面，出了机场，向停车场走去。他没有帮我们拿行李，一个人自顾自地快步走在前面。“他怎么不帮我们拿包呢？”我问蟋蟀头，难道印度人的接站习惯就是，不帮客人拿包？英迪拉·甘地国际机场距离我们要去的帕哈甘吉Paharganj 地区，大约20公里左右。夜色中的德里，一片安静。同夜色一样安静的，还有这个开车的小伙子。不说印度人喜欢搭讪吗？他怎么这么安静？我心中暗自嘀咕。当然，在后面的十多天行程中，经历了印度人的各种搭讪后，我只能说，印度人的确非常喜欢说话，但也总有些人，不是那么喜欢说话。大约半小时后，出租车停在了我们预定的Hotel Hari Piorko。车停下来后，他转过头，向我要车费。车费，旅馆给我的邮件中，不是说明车费Rs.700在旅馆的前台付吗？我和他解释，旅馆的邮件中是这么说明，我也只能到前台去付款，请他和我们一起去前台拿钱。他又嘀嘀咕咕说了一大堆话，不过我一句也没听懂，大意应该还是希望我能直接把钱付给他吧。我问蟋蟀头的意见。他说，既然旅馆和你约定了，在前台付车费，就还是去前台付吧，否则，你现在付给他，旅馆向你要，怎么办？我觉得蟋蟀头说的有道理。于是，我们不管他继续啰嗦，下车拿了行李就走进了旅馆。一个白发白胡子白衫的老头坐在前台，正在给一位准备退房的老外办理手续。一本硕大的登记簿放在他的前面。后来发现，每个旅馆的登记簿都和这个一模一样，像是政府规定的专用旅馆登记簿。在等候老头给老外办退房手续时，我问小伙子，“旅馆付你多少钱接机？”他说，“Rs.550。” 啊，旅馆赚得挺多。看着他可怜巴巴的眼神，我真想马上把钱付给他。好不容易等老头办完退房手续，他向我要车费了，“Rs.800”。“什么？Rs.800？你邮件里不是写好Rs.700吗？“”那就Rs.750。“老头面不改色地回答。”NO。“我准备一点也不让步。不付给他Rs.550，我就很守信用了，他居然还向我要Rs.800 ？可惜我只打印了booking.com的预定单，没有打印我和他的邮件内容。于是，我把自己整理的攻略往他面前一放，指给他看我在他的酒店名称下注明的：”在前台付pick up Rs.700- extra.“ 其实这并非邮件，他居然扫了一眼后，二话不说，马上就认账了。从他信口开河到最后认账，老头脸上的表情始终没有丝毫改变。看来，他玩这一招是玩习惯了。能唬一个就唬一个。其实，在机场坐预付费的taxi，据说是Rs.400多。他报价后，我没还价，是因为想着深更半夜安排接机，挺辛苦的，也没差多少钱，也就算了。没想到他还玩这一招，真让我觉得后悔，真该砍下他的价才对。 check in后，一个小工帮我们提着行李，领我们到了楼上的房间。房间很大，也很干净。那个king size的大床，实际上是由两个单人床拼成。后来我发现，印度好多酒店的大床都是这样拼合而成。沙发、电视、空调，房间里倒是一应俱全。据说德里因为是首都的缘故，酒店的性价比都特别差。所以，在这样热门的地段，这样的房间，这样的房价的确不算贵。对了，当时的汇率 1印度卢比=0.1182人民币元。一般我和蟋蟀头想把价格换算成人民币以作比较时，喜欢直接除以10，比较简单易算。所以，这个房价，差不多就是在北京上海如家的价格。小工去帮我们买矿泉水和打火机。因为在印度，自来水是根本不能饮用的，除非你有印度人的肠胃。不一会儿，小工回来了，把东西递给我们后，和我算钱，“两瓶矿泉水Rs.33/瓶，打火机Rs.40，一共Rs.106。”“你不说打火机只要Rs.20吗？怎么变成Rs.40呢？”我问他。“Rs.20的打火机卖完了，这个Rs.40的打火机比较好看一点。”他对我解释道。好吧，就算他说的是真的吧。我可不想这么晚了，还为这点钱和他斤斤计较。我掏出Rs.150给他，“谢谢，不用找了。”小工告辞而去。准备洗澡，才发现淋浴根本就没有热水，只有冷水。想着我在邮件里和酒店确认深夜是否有热水淋浴，他在回信中可是斩钉截铁地说“Don't worry.” 看来，问了也是白问。印度人的话还真不能信！在机场时，我还因不相信接站小伙的话而自责，现在，我又再次确信，印度人的话的确不能相信。唉，洗个冷水脸睡吧。谁让这是印度呢？！ 二、捡了一对夫妇逛红堡早上起床，淋浴终于有热水了，而且水还挺好。酒店的退房时间是中午12点，等我们起床收拾完毕，已差不多12点了。因下午5点过就要坐火车去瓦拉纳西，所以我们准备先下楼和前台说一下寄存行李的事。从电梯出来，还没走两步，就被一男一女两个中国人叫住，“你们是中国人啊！”一到国外，能遇到中国人，的确会多分亲切。原来这对夫妇来自广东，到德里已经四天了。但这四天哪儿也没去，就在酒店睡觉。还从广东带了一只煲来，给自己煲汤降火。因酒店房间不干净，他们便换到这间酒店，说是比之前那家酒店干净好多。女孩叫sofoia，一个自来熟的女孩，她告诉我说，他们在印度会呆二十天，却没准备功略，问是否可以借我的攻略看看。我把手中的攻略递给她，她翻翻后说道，“这么详细啊，借我copy一下吧。”得知他们也没吃饭，便约他们到楼上餐厅一起吃饭，顺便让他们copy攻略。中午时分，餐厅里一个客人也没。估计住店的人，这个时间都到外面去玩了吧！我们四人找了阳台上一个桌子坐下，他们让服务员帮忙去复印攻略，然后我们点餐说话聊天。在得知我们下午准备去红堡后，这对夫妇打算跟我们同行。于是，在印度的第一天，我们就多了一对旅伴。而且在后面的行程中，又不断遇到新的旅伴。一位修理人员，似乎对坐在餐厅中的我们四人孰视无睹，自顾自地开始用电钻在墙上钻洞。尖利的电钻声吵得我们讲话也听不清。去向餐厅服务人员提出抗议，居然一点效果也没，我们只得被迫坐到阳台上去用餐。一推开那扇通往阳台的门，一股热浪夹杂着各种嘈杂声扑面而来。深夜抵达德里时的宁静印象，瞬间瓦解。鸽子扑愣愣地在阳台上飞来飞去，反倒弄得我们不好靠近，生怕惊到它们。实际上，我们真是过虑了。在印度，没有动物会害怕人。 对于初来乍到的我们，哪里会嫌街上吵闹，只会感到新奇无比，趴在阳台的栏杆上四处张望。街上人车拥挤。汽车、出租车、牛车、TUTU车、人力三轮车、摩托车，全部后扎堆在一起，行人却自在地穿行其中。“原来在印度被奉为神的牛也会拉车啊！”在尼泊尔看惯了到处闲着的牛，以致于我对拉车的牛也会大惊小怪。当然，在后来的行程中，我每天都会在街头看见各种闲逛的牛。但在杰伊瑟尔梅尔和一位司机的聊天中，也终于明白，印度的牛虽然罩着一层神圣的光环，但实际上却连温饱这最基本的生活需求也达不到。 远处突然传来一阵敲锣打鼓的声音，我们把脖子伸得老长，循声望去，一辆打扮花哨、车头插着旗子、车顶坐满人的汽车向我们这个方向慢慢驶来。是有什么庆祝活动吗？我们也跟着锣鼓声兴奋起来，可惜，车驶到靠近我们的一个三叉路口，一转弯，便在我们的视线中消失了。“快点出去玩吧！”此时的我们，早已按捺不住内心的兴奋，想要赶快融入那无比嘈杂混乱，却又让人激动万分的花花世界。简单吃完这顿早午餐，我俩便把行李搬到楼下，准备寄存。前台叫来一位小伙子，让我们跟着他去寄存。于是，我们跟着他，又重新返回到二楼。他掏出钥匙，打开一间房门，把我们的驮包往行李架上一放，问我们房号，然后把房号写在一个上，往驮包上一挂就OK啦。我问他，“你不给我什么凭证吗？那我凭什么来取包？”他说，“取包时，说你的房号就可以了。”这样也可以？我满肚子狐疑。我已经退房了，现在的房间很快就会住进新的客人吧，我也只需报个房号就可以取走行李？不会搞错吗？“No problem！”他回答我。印度人喜欢说No problem，而事实上，我们认为很多不可思议的地方，于他们而言，真的不是什么问。他们有他们的习惯，仅此而已。只是我们不能理解罢了。在后面的行程中，所有酒店寄存行李都用的是这种方式，告诉他你的房号就行，当然他们也一次都没弄错过。 下午1330时分的德里街头，阳光灼烈，热浪袭人。sofoia 用帽子和口罩把自己包裹得严严实实。而此时的蟋蟀头，在T恤外还套了一件摄影背心，一副摄影人的准行头。当然，这件摄影背心，他在印度也只穿过这一天。因为，印度的高温与烈日，把蟋蟀头的专业形象彻底打败。 酒店距离新德里火车站仅500米，因Main Bazar上TUTU车较少，不利于讲价，我们准备步行到火车站再找TUTU车。火车站门口TUTU车的确很多，但就像商量好了一样，众口一辞，去红堡的车费一律Rs.100/辆，根本没有讨价还价的余地。于是，我们要了两辆TUTU车，一前一后向红堡奔去。在印度坐TUTU车，实在是一个惊险刺激又好玩的游戏，尤其是在车辆拥挤的路上，又或者在狭窄的小巷。每个司机似乎都车技了得，左冲右突，灵巧无比。车与车之间经常擦肩而过，最近的距离似乎只有0.1，车速却丝毫不会减慢，也没有什么交通事故发生。司机总是悠然自得，只有我们这些乘客才会一惊一乍。因路上交通堵塞，大概花了近半小时，我们才抵达红堡。下车时，司机示意我们，我们得走前面的地道，才能穿行到路的右边。因为在印度，车辆是靠道路左侧行驶。地道阴暗，味道难闻。有乞讨的小孩坐在墙角，也有流浪的人躺成一排。眼之所及，只觉凄凉，不禁让我想起电影《贫民窟中的百万富翁》中的场景。快步走出地道，重新回到杂乱的街面，我不禁深深地呼了一口气。阳光灿烂的感觉，实在比阴暗阴沉要好太多。转个弯，沙岩筑成的红堡便出现在了我们面前。到了红堡，先迫不及待地来一张到此一游照。虽然红堡是德里的重要景点之一，但对于将要去拉贾斯坦邦的人，往往都会直接忽略掉这个城堡。因为，在历史悠久的拉贾斯坦，散布着众多迷人的宫殿与古堡，一路走去，直到你审美疲劳。如此一来，德里的红堡，相较之下，似乎就逊色许多，以致于大多数人都直接把它cancel掉。我之所以想去红堡，只因为它是由沙· 贾汉所建。这个因建造了泰姬陵而名垂千秋的国王，因酷爱艺术与建筑，在他统治期间，一些极好的莫卧尔艺术和建筑的精品被创造了出来。在泰姬陵动工后的第七年，1638年，沙· 贾汉开始修建红堡，历时十年完工。([]

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分，不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦，希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子，原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co， where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the location of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30)， 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evaluate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared.

韩淑芬小印度的志性建筑——维拉玛卡里雅曼兴都庙甘榜格南的志——苏丹清真寺新加坡河入海口 走到新加坡，要看异域风情，不能不到小印度和甘榜格南两个地方参观。还有新加坡河也独具特色。 小印度，是新加坡印度族群的聚集地，犹如印度的缩影。它位于新加坡河的东岸，坐落在新加坡中南部的实龙岗路，是许多印度人聚集的地方。对于印裔来说，这是他们的双重依托，既有精神层面的，如节日、宗教，也有物质层面的：生活在新加坡的印度人在这儿能够买到一如故土的香料首饰和衣着。在屠妖节（Deepavali），即兴都教光节（Hindu Festival of Lights），小印度被装点成金碧辉煌的神话世界。 一进入小印度，一股浓烈的辣椒气味就会扑面而来。商店里陈列着银器、铜器、具有民族特色的珠宝、茉莉花环和丝制莎丽。无论在庞大的竹脚（Zhu Jiao）中心。还是在小杂货铺中，各种有趣的东西等着您去探索。 甘榜格南以生长在沼泽地周围的树木“gelam”树为名，是新加坡穆斯林的聚居区。每年伊斯兰教先知穆罕默德诞辰都在这里举行街头庆祝活动，来自岛国各地的伊斯兰教徒齐集干达哈街，好像嘉年华会般热闹。游客如果想进入寺庙参观，需穿上长袖上衣和长裤、长裙。 甘榜格南的名字说起来有些拗口。Kampong在马来语中是村子的意思，Glam是Gelam。Gelam是一种木质坚硬的树，当地的人用它的叶子蒸煮后榨油，用它的果子晒干碾碎后制成黑胡椒粉，用它的木头来造船。这种树长满了甘榜格南，Sir StamfordRaffles将其取名为甘榜格南（Kampong Glam）。这里荟萃了许多与回教徒有关的日常生活用品。 新加坡河可谓是新加坡的母亲河，河流贯穿于整个城市的生命之河，总长约3.2公里。虽然不是非常长或非常大的河流，河道的地理位置却非常重要，自古以来就是兵家必争之地，以前来自世界四面八方的移民都是依靠这条河流来维持生计，这里是移民最先迁入和商业最先繁荣的地带，也是老新加坡的经济动脉。感受新加坡之一——漫步岛国看狮城 干净清新亦繁华（概述篇） https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2172957-1-1.html感受新加坡之二——休闲小岛走不停 亚洲最南寻风情（圣淘沙篇）https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2182169&page=1&extra=#pid50347652感受新加坡之三——参天巨树生满园热带风情绿无限（植物园篇）https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2231866&;page=1&extra=#pid53500784感受新加坡之四——绿意充盈总统府世外桃源乌敏岛（总统府和乌敏岛篇）https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2253589&page=1&extra=#pid55203314感受新加坡之五——海风轻拂鱼尾狮 流光溢彩夜迟迟（滨海湾篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2255988-1-1.html感受新加坡之六——狮城国花胡姬花千姿百态芬芳开（胡姬花篇）https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2299743&page=1&extra=#pid58352540感受新加坡之八——立体交通路纵横街道小区绿充盈（交通和街道篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2326625-1-1.html 感受新加坡之九——狮城春节气息浓牛车水里最喜庆（春节和牛车水篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2330106-1-1.html感受新加坡之十——方式灵活有初院 环境优美好校园（南初篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2344728-1-1.html感受新加坡之十一——享誉全球名高校 环境优雅美校园（南大篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2354269-1-1.html 小印度等的位置图 小印度等区域图 小印度的街区 小印度的菜市场 甘榜格南苏丹清真寺前的街道 甘榜格南苏丹清真寺前的人流 高大的南国植物 新加坡河 新加坡河畔 通往小印度的街道 这里印度裔很多 小印度的街道 小印度的商店 聚集的印度裔人很多 维拉玛卡里雅曼兴都庙前几乎都是印度裔人 等待找零工的印度裔青年 庄严的甘榜格南苏丹清真寺 清真寺的街道 信众走向清真寺 肃穆的建筑 新加坡河畔的街道 街道旁的小吃店很多 静静的新加坡河 新加坡河上的桥 新加坡河畔街道上游人很多 各种小吃店玲琅满目 川流不息的人流 大舞台([]

许俊来质感强烈花盛开清丽高贵胡姬花园大门处 在北半球寒风凛冽时，新加坡永远却是夏天的模样，早晨出门会有淡淡凉意，到正午却是艳阳高照。到新加坡旅游，不能不看新加坡的国花---胡姫花。 胡姫花是新加坡的国花，其实就是兰花。东南亚通称兰花为胡姬花。新加坡人则称为“卓锦-万代兰”，因为侨居新加坡的亚美尼亚人卓锦女士在自己花园里培育而成。因花朵清丽端庄、生命力特强，它象征新加坡人的气质和刻苦耐劳、果敢奋斗的精神。 在新加坡观赏胡姬花非国家胡姬园莫属。 国家胡姬园（National Orchid Garden）坐落于新加坡植物园最高的山冈上，占地约四公顷，目前培育了超过2000多个品种的胡姬花。这里的胡姬花以全世界名女人来命名，包括造访新加坡的撒切尔夫人和戴安娜王妃，都可以在胡姬花园内找到同名的兰花品种。 其中最特别的是卓锦万代兰(Vanda Miss Joaquim)，其于1893年由卓锦（Miss Joaquim)在当地意外发现这款原生钟兰花，罕见独特，在1981年4月15日被定为新加坡国花。其花朵长约7厘米，宽约6.5厘米，浅紫红色的花瓣上布有深紫红斑点，中间部分为深玫瑰色，花管呈橙黄色，四季盛开，鲜艳动人，而且在恶劣的条件下，也能含芳吐艳。 园内60000多株色彩绚丽的胡姬花在热带植物的映衬下光彩夺目。缤纷的胡姬花与热带植物交相辉映，蜿蜒园中的台阶小路，领略春天的芬芳和传说中的繁花似锦。 众多的胡姬花，有的淡雅，有的娇艳，但不管怎样，胡姬花在骨子里都透出一种天生的高贵气质。 不管怎样，对于喜欢花草的人来说，漫步国家胡姬园赏花、拍花都是不错的选择。感受新加坡之一——漫步岛国看狮城 干净清新亦繁华（概述篇） https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2172957-1-1.html感受新加坡之二——休闲小岛走不停 亚洲最南寻风情（圣淘沙篇）https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2182169&page=1&;extra=#pid50347652感受新加坡之三——参天巨树生满园热带风情绿无限（植物园篇）https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&;tid=2231866&page=1&extra=#pid53500784感受新加坡之四——绿意充盈总统府世外桃源乌敏岛（总统府和乌敏岛篇）https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2253589&page=1&extra=#pid55203314感受新加坡之五——海风轻拂鱼尾狮 流光溢彩夜迟迟（滨海湾篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2255988-1-1.html感受新加坡之七——小印度里寻缩影甘榜格南回族情（新加坡河等篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2322447-1-1.html 感受新加坡之八——立体交通路纵横街道小区绿充盈（交通和街道篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2326625-1-1.html 感受新加坡之九——狮城春节气息浓牛车水里最喜庆（春节和牛车水篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2330106-1-1.html感受新加坡之十——方式灵活有初院 环境优美好校园（南初篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2344728-1-1.html感受新加坡之十一——享誉全球名高校 环境优雅美校园（南大篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2354269-1-1.html 新加坡胡姬花园在新加坡地图上的位置 园内的流水景观 花开艳丽 黄的温暖 蓝白相间 红的似火 低头迎客 艳丽无比 红红火火 室内的胡姬花 园区分布平面图 紫色是最多见的胡姬花之一 白色胡姬花也很多见 花开满园 黄色是最多见的胡姬花之一 园内处处花盛开 艳丽之花初初见 园内处处花盛开 黄的耀眼 阳光下的花儿 质感很强的胡姬花 花开朵朵 花色满园 满园花色 耀眼的花蕊 花开朵朵 独放花枝 热带风情浓郁的花草 花开满园关不住([]

王嘉琪从印度回来快两个月，直到现在我都无法用言语来准确的形容我对印度的感觉在国人眼里，印度与中国是那样的近，国土相连仅一山之隔然而，印度又是那样的遥远，由于两国之间缺少沟通和交流，我们对印度的认识仅仅局限在泰姬陵与恒河上印度这个古老神秘的东方大国，是个充满矛盾、一切都那么浓烈的神奇世界它历史悠久、民族混杂、文化纷呈、宗教众多，风光旖旎，人们热情内向……它人口众多、基础设施落后、卫生状况糟糕、贫富差距巨大、交通混乱不堪……你能在这里找到最好的东西，你也能在这里找到最坏的印度在每一个和它有过交集的人的生命里是不同的如果有人告诉你印度是多么多么地差劲，你要相信他；如果有人告诉你印度是多么多么地美好，你也要相信他现代与古代、奢华与贫穷、纵欲与禁欲、草率与效率、温和与粗暴、城市与村落，民主与种姓……印度的一切一切，是如此的不可思议印度的旅游宣传语是“Incredible

很多时候，话到嘴边，却无力组织语言，就用照片的方式展现，那是瞬间无法用语言表达清楚的故事。有的时候，突然间因为某一件事、某一个人、某一个场景而感动，很想写出很多话，拿出来和朋友们分享。所以我和Amy（8264ID：斯里兰卡小妞）用文字和照片记录着北印旅行的一些点滴，更多的是表达我们俩个人在印度的感受。关于印度，不能简单用好与坏来表达，可能只有你真正站到那片土地，才能得到一个自己想要的答案。正如应该作家V.S.奈保尔所说“印度是不能被评判的,印度只能以印度的方式被体验”----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------第一部分：攻略1、关于行程2、关于印度证3、关于印度交通4、关于印度吃住5、关于货币及汇率6、关于印度消费水平和购物7、关于印度人和印度旅行注意事项第二部分：游记1、加尔各答，一切都是未知2、瓦拉纳西，地狱还是天堂3、德里，来去匆匆4、阿姆利则，锡克教的共产主义5、阿格拉，没落的辉煌6、泰姬陵，闪耀着的一滴爱的眼泪7、斋普尔，粉红色的回忆8、焦特布尔，寻找属于我的那片蓝9、乌代普尔,印度独一无二的浪漫10、再回德里，再会印度阿格拉，泰姬陵阿姆利则，金庙日出斋普尔，琥珀堡https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1546176-pid-25386809.html 关于行程当决定前往印度的那一刻起，到最后购买印度火车票止，我都在纠结印度的行程和每天安排。看着近300万平方公里的印度地图，除了起始的加尔各答，一切都是未知。看了很多关于印度的游记和攻略，鉴于印度的各种不靠谱和不确定因素，保险起见，我把目定在北印，选择一条最成熟、最传统的旅行路线。加尔各答（Kolkata）、德里（Delhi），一个起点，一个终点，必须要去。瓦拉纳西（VaranASI），阿格拉（Agra），一个印度教圣城，一个泰姬陵所在地，这两个城市也不能错过。剩下的就在拉贾斯坦的四色城、锡克教圣城的阿姆利则（Amritsar）、性都克久拉霍（Khajuraho）、佛教圣地菩提迦耶（Bodh Gaya）和库什那伽（Kushinagar）、喜马拉雅脚下的大吉岭（Darjeeling）中选择。因为行程只有短短16天，印度交通又不是很便捷，最后根据城市特点、历史意义和我的个人喜好选择了四色城中的粉城斋普尔（Jaipur）、蓝城焦特布尔（Jodhpur）、白城乌代普尔（Udaipur）和印巴边界的阿姆利则。行程中间紧两头松，尽量选择夜班火车，留出更多时间感悟印度。日程安排9.30

关于印度证曾经印度证给我的感觉是要求多、拒率高、证有效期短。第一时间我想到通过淘宝代，后来对比了一下所需材料和印度证中心要求并无差别，不像通过中介代东南亚国家，可以省去存款证明、工作证明等等各种繁琐材料。既然材料都要准备，那不如自己跑一趟送，即安全又省钱。根据印度证中心规定，所有申请人必须根据领区划分到对应的印度证申请中心申请证。上海、浙江、江苏的申请人必须到上海的印度证申请中心递交证，广东、福建、广西、海南、湖南、四川和云南各省的申请人必须到广州的印度证申请中心递交证，其它不在上述各省的申请人必须到北京的印度证申请中心递交证。不过如果你户籍在广东，在天津工作，你是可以到北京印度证中心递交证申请的。我是在北京印度证中心申请的证，所以我掌握的方法适用于北京，其他地区只能参考，具体请到印度证中心网站（https//www.vfs-india.com.cn）查询。具体的流程是：1、在印度证中心网站在线填写申请表格并提交。2、提交申请表并保存打印表格，然后按照证中心所要求的材料一并带到证中心提交申请，可以委托他人递交。3、受理后五个工作日凭护照号和姓名可以查询状态。4、护照状态正常并显示返还证中心后便可以前往证中心领取，也可以在递交资料办理证时选择邮寄的方式或者委托他人领取。所需材料（个人旅游证）1、在线申请表（在线递交后打印一份，贴上照片并名）2、护照复印件（信息页和名页）3、正确的证费用（349元旅游证费用+165元证中心服务费用）4、1张5cmX5cm白底正面照（北京证中心只要一张）5、银行10000元三个月冻结期的存款证明原件6、往返机票订单复印件7、申请人公司或学校信函原件（英文，要求打印在包含完整邮政地址、电话和传真的抬头纸上，加盖公章及负责人亲笔名）8、身份证正反面复印件9、行程安排（需本人亲自名，多人一起办理，可以用同一份行程单，但必须都要亲笔名）这里详细说几点：1、在线填写申请，证中心网站有填表指南，按照要求一步步填写非常简单，不过在最后提交前，确认好是否有错误，提交后是无法修改，只能重新填写。2、关于存款冻结证明到银行一问便知。不用多存钱，也不用长时间冻结，只要冻结期覆盖申请的旅行时间即可。3、申请人公司信函需要包括申请人姓名、护照号码、工作年限、职位信息、年收入及准假声明，打印在含公司LOGO及完整邮政地址、电话和传真的抬头纸上，加盖公章并由负责人亲笔名。4、我只按照要求提供了简单的行程安排，并未提供酒店预订单及印度火车票订单等。个人觉得按照官方要求提交材料即可，额外材料证中心是不收取的。5、我是出发前一个月提交的申请，北京证中心的也建议提前一个月提交，以防证官只给一个月有效期的证（看穷游上有朋友就这样悲剧过）。6、证中心电话很好打入，如有任何问直接电话过去咨询好了，态度马马虎虎。 关于印度的交通在印度旅行多日之后，我发现最大的挑战不是到达一个地方，而是怎样到达。我没有选择飞机，一是机场距离市区远，太过浪费时间，二是在不靠谱的印度，飞机的安全性我不得不慎重考虑。我也很少选择长途大巴，印度的路况之差，超载之严重，长时间的走走停停，总叫我心生绝望。所以我更多选择还是火车。火车印度国土面积大，城市间距离远，交通设施落后，对于旅行时间有限的旅行者，夜班火车成为既安全又节约时间的交通工具。我都是在国内通过ClearTrip网站提前半个多月预订的火车票，然后把电子订单存在手机里直接上车。我没有冒险去火车站排队购买，后来我觉得这个决定非常正确。先不说临时能不能买到合适车票，就是看到车站人山人海场景，就会叫你不知所措。在印度火车站，你随时都能感受到中国春运式的拥挤。如果你行程固定，你就提前在国内预定好车票吧，哪怕临时改变行程，退票费也不高，按照我经验，临时购买始发长途车票还是比较难的。关于ClearTrip订票，网上有很详细的订票攻略。整体感觉ClearTrip还是比较好用的，我除了一次支付失败外，其余全都一次成功。在做行程规划时，通过ClearTrip实时查询火车的班次、余票状况也对行程的计划有很大帮助。关于印度火车等级，网上也有很详细的介绍说明。除了Delhi到Amritsar外，我全程都是乘坐的AC3且都是上铺（upper）。一般来说，我还是建议选择AC3，性价比最高。AC3车厢封闭带有空调，并且提供床单和毛毯，既不怕过冷过热也不怕吵，便于晚上休息。据我观察，SLEEP以下等级车厢大都敞开窗户，夜间风和噪音都会很大。关于铺别，个人觉得能选择上铺（upper）尽量选择上铺。中铺（Middle）和下铺（Lower）都面临着同样问----不方便提早休息。白天中铺是收起来的，而下铺坐满了人。后来我发现靠近过道的边铺也是一个非常好的选择。边铺分为上铺（Side Lower）与下铺（Side Upper）两个铺位，拉上帘子成为一个独立的私密空间，既可以躺着看窗外的风景，也可以靠在隔断上看书。以前我看有评论说边铺不适合170cm以上的人，我试了一下，175CM以下的人躺下没有问，如果以后再去印度，我会选择边铺。提醒一点，尽量不要预订车厢头尾靠近车门的上铺，那里是空调的出风口，风很大很冷，而且脚下没有挡板，当脚伸出床外很容易被开关的车门碰到。关于火车的卫生状况，我觉得完全可以接受，火车上提供的床单和枕头套都是新洗干净的，乘坐AC3的印度乘客卫生意识也比较强，每天清晨都有乘务员来清扫车厢，所以我感觉至少不比国内硬卧车厢卫生状况差。曾经有朋友提到印度火车上老鼠、蟑螂到处跑，除了在去Jodpur的火车上看到一不明物体乱窜，在其他火车上没有看到任何老鼠和蟑螂，也没有蚊子，可能和乘务员喷洒杀虫剂有关。关于火车上饮食，我感觉参差不齐，大多时候是比较难吃的。印度火车上会有乘务员兜售各种饮料、水、茶、冰淇淋、素三明治及咖喱饭，但是质量因不同的列车公司而不同。晚餐是要提前预定的，有乘务员过来询问，一般8点之后开始提供，饭菜基本上都是两种咖喱（有的列车提供一荤一素，有的只提供素食），两张Naan和一份米饭。如果你错过的话，就只能忍饥挨饿了。我建议背包里最好放一些应急食品，以防万一，我在从Jaipur到Jodpur的火车上就不提供晚餐。关于行李寄存和防盗。很多人都对印度火车的盗窃现象描绘得很严重，其实一般来说，贵重物品放在身边，大件行李锁在铺下就没有问了，印度乘客也都是这么做的。火车站就有人兜售铁链和锁头，但是那个太重了，建议出发前在国内买那种小的线型密码锁就可以，整体来说AC3车厢安全状况还是值得信任的。车站CloakRoom提供寄存行李服务，每件行李10卢比一天。首先要填写一个寄存单，提供车票和护照，且每件行李必须要上锁，经工作人员核对后，便可以寄存。寄存行李也是一件考验你耐心的时候，除了工作人员每天有固定休息时间外，你还会经常会遇到一下子寄存十几件行李的乘客。关于火车站设施。火车站除了提供行李寄存服务，一般还都会提供不同等级的Waiting Room，而且还有女性专用的Lady's Waiting Room，进入休息室休息需要提供相等级的车票。休息室里有卫生巾，大的车站还提供Shower Room。虽然都是冷水淋浴，但是在炎热的印度，能冲个澡就已经很奢侈了。火车站大厅会有电子告示牌，提供各车次站台信息，站台也相应的有电子指示牌提供到站车次和车厢信息，不过最好还是和同站台的印度乘客确认一下。关于火车晚点，在印度我乘坐的6趟火车没有一次准点到站，大都晚点15分钟到半个小时，看来晚点是一个普遍现象，所以建议朋友们去印度旅行不宜把时间安排的过于紧凑，至少预留1小时的机动时间。印度火车到站是不报站名的，火车站扬声器里也都是印度语，所以以免坐过站，最好提前和同车的印度乘客打好招呼提醒你下车，我发现每一个印度乘客都能神奇的认出每一个车站。最后不得不提印度的“动车”，也就是日间行驶在各大城市之间的快车。它只提供空调座椅，并提供餐饮服务，所有费用包含着车票里。我在从德里到阿姆利则6个小时的火车上，乘务员在不停的提供饮品、小吃、甜点、正餐及冰淇淋，很遗憾当天我因为喝了过多的冰水而拉肚子，被Amy称作印度最好的咖喱饭和冰淇淋我都没有吃到，后悔后悔。汽车作为火车的补充，我在印度分别乘坐了几次汽车。长途客车一般来说长途客车分为官方和私人运营两种，两种都是可靠和值得信赖的。官方运营的车辆需要在各个城市的汽车站或者指定的售票处和网站购票，私人运营的购票则比较随意，多数旅店和旅行社都代售，比较方便。印度大多数长途客车都是没有空调的，车况尚可，但大多情况下都会超载。印度有一种比较特别的客车，就是坐铺和卧铺混合型的，底下是坐位，头顶是卧铺。拉贾斯坦邦运营着一些豪华的空调旅游大巴，车型主要是沃尔沃和奔驰，干净舒适，只是票价略贵，和火车卧铺接近。可以找旅行社通过网络预订，也可以自己到售票处购票。我在印度乘坐了两次长途客车，一次是从阿格拉前往斋普尔，还有一次是从焦特布尔到乌代普尔。去斋普尔是那种豪华大巴，舒适速度快，中间只靠站一次，方便乘客上厕所和吃饭。去乌代普尔则是普通的长途客车，虽然没有空调，但是开着车窗并不热，车内还算干净，不过该车几乎每个小城市都要停靠好久，路上浪费非常多的时间。短途客车一般连接大城市和周边地区，多数情况下在汽车站滚动发车，上车买票。有时你会发现他们的票价很随意，前后不一，不过你不用担心，一般差价也就是几卢比。汽车上基本都是印度文，上车前一定要确认好目的地。车型一般是中巴或者小巴，非常拥挤，超载严重。我从阿格拉去西格里乘坐了两次短途客车，座椅不是很舒服，车内也乱糟糟的，汽车走走停停，开的非常慢。公交车在印度的大城市有比较发达的公交系统，不过我也只是在斋普尔往返琥珀堡乘坐了两次，其余时候因为不了解如何乘坐，基本都是选择乘坐TUTU车。在德里、斋普尔有比较现代的公交车，有的还有空调，这些应该都是国营的公交车。同样还有很多小巴和中巴的私人公交车，这些车座位很少，腾出更大空间为了能装更多的乘客。出租车在印度机场和火车站外都会有预付费出租车，价格固定，虽然价格略高，但是免去和出租车司机讨价还价。先和柜台说明你要去的地址，工作人员便会报价，觉得没问就先付费，然后工作人员会给你一张收据，在外面便会有司机等候，中途不要将收据给司机，只有到了目的地才能给收据司机，收据是司机去得报酬的唯一凭证。印度的大街小巷里面穿梭着无数的TUTU车，这也是南亚、东南亚很多国家常见的市区活动代步工具。这些TUTU看似无法无天横冲直撞着，但是绝大多数情况下，还是比较安全的（除了让人崩溃的瓦拉纳西，那里随时都可能发生交通事故）。乘坐TUTU车之前先要确认好价格，一般情况下TUTU司机都会把价格开得很高，有时甚至会高的离谱，和这些TUTU司机砍价是最叫人崩溃的事情之一。除了确认好价格外，一定要说清楚去的地方地址，不到目的一般不要先付费，遇到黑心司机会见机投机取巧的。很多TUTU司机在你上车后不厌其烦推销旅店和纪念品店，他们都是为了拿回扣，如果不赶时间，去看看无妨，一般情况下还是要坚持不去。印度还有大量的人力三轮车，价格比TUTU车便宜，车夫都是一些年纪较大或者更贫苦的印度人，经常会被TUTU司机嘲笑。乘坐人力三轮车时候，我觉得不要把价格压得太低，或者给一些消费，这些卖体力的车夫是印度最底层的劳动者，非常辛苦。地铁德里和加尔各答都有地铁，乘坐很方便，乘坐方式和国内无异，对于交通混乱的印度，地铁绝对是一个便捷、便宜、快速的选择。不过，印度地铁站我感觉随时都像我们的早高峰，人山人海，非常拥挤，如果遇到素质低一些的印度人，推推搡搡，很使人恼火。印度地铁一般都有专门的女士车厢，偶尔你会在里面看到一些游客或者西方面孔男性乘客在里面。 关于印度吃住吃印度的脏是出了名的，所以很多人担心印度食品的安全状况，再加上印度除了咖喱就是咖喱的传闻，对于爱吃的中国人来说，印度无疑是吃货的地狱，其实并不是这样。在印度半个多月，我和Amy没有因为吃造成腹泻，偶尔尝试了两次路边摊和当地人的小餐馆，我们都没有太大问，当然一般情况下我们首选还是看上去比较干净的餐馆。应该说，只要略加注意，不要刚到印度就去尝试马路摊点，应该不会有太大问。关于印度饮食的种类，印度和中国一样，国土面积大、民族多、信仰多，加上长时间的殖民历史，致使印度食物种类非常多，在印度菜单上我们除了看到印度本地特色的Thalis、Dosa、Butter Chicken、Biryani的食物，还能看到大量的Chinese Food、Korea Food、Isreal Food，并且同一种食物在不同城市做法、味道都差距很大。在印度可能使我不大习惯印度的饮食，一是宗教原因，大多餐馆只经营素食，而是印度饭菜口味比较重。在印度，80%以上都是印度教徒，加上严格吃素的佛教徒和耆那教徒，印度有半数以上的人素食主义者，毫不夸张的说，印度是素食王国。在很多城市，我根本无法找到任何经营肉食的餐馆，甚至一些西餐厅为了适应印度人饮食习惯会提供素汉堡和素披萨。印度大多地方天气比较热，为了增强食欲，他们的饭菜的口味都比较重，游客不太容易接受。住印度每个大城市几乎都有一个背包客聚集的地方，像位于新德里火车站对面的Main Bazzar、加尔各答的萨德街、瓦拉纳西的迷宫小巷、乌代普尔的皮丘拉湖周围等等，在这些地方高中低档住宿一应俱全，非常容易寻找。印度大多客栈房间提供电扇，少数房间提供制冷扇和空调，我感觉在拉贾斯坦、德里这些现对干燥的城市，电扇可以完全满足要求，而加尔各答、瓦拉纳西则显得潮湿闷热，最好还是选择有空调的房间。印度还有很多客栈不提供热水洗浴，只有冷水淋浴，就算有的客栈有电热水器，但因为年久失修，大都工作不正常，入住时一定要检查仔细。关于住宿预订，一般旅行我是不喜欢提前预定的，因为我觉得预订价格高而且没有办法看到房间实际情况。不过在印度的经历，我感觉，印度大多数客栈预订与实际谈价价格差别很小，因为很多客栈都是老板雇人经营，价格固定，店员没有办法给你什么优惠。热门客栈房间还是很紧张的，几乎每天都住满，还是提前预订好。 关于货币及汇率印度货币是卢比，经观察可以支持几乎所有大国货币兑换，不过对比下来美元应该还是最合算的。印度支持私人货币兑换，你可以在所有游客集中的区域找到货币兑换店，有时候一些商店和珠宝店兼做货币兑换生意，他们给出的汇率要高于银行，所以不用非找银行兑换。不过很多私人兑换店只收面值为50和100的美元。注意，兑换货币时候，一定要问清有没有手续费、税费等，以免奸商钻空子。虽然按照兑换店老板所说汇率一直下跌，但是按照我的感觉，加尔各答的汇率最高，德里次之，最不划算的是阿格拉和阿姆利则，德里Main Bazzar内一家比较大的连锁兑换店给的人民币兑换汇率最高。加尔各答 1美元：53卢比（机场给的汇率是1美元：49多，还要收取手续费）瓦拉纳西 1美元：51.5卢比德里 1美元：51.8卢比（临回国时候，汇率为1美元：52卢比）阿姆利则 1美元：51卢比阿格拉 1美元：51卢比斋普尔 1美元：51.5卢比焦特布尔 1美元：51.5卢布一般情况下，一个城市正式的货币兑换店间给的汇率几乎一样，砍价基本上都没有用。 关于印度消费水平和购物作为一个大国，印度物价极其便宜，可能因为印度并不算是一个旅游大国，商店、餐馆面对的更多是本国消费者，所以所有价格转换成人民币你都会觉得便宜的要死，我在德里就眼看到两个西方女孩一人抱买了五六条毛毯带走。印度很多商品也都是全国统一定价，价格就直接印在包装上，不用担心被黑心摊贩所要高价。在印度没有超市，但你随时都能找到各种市场，这里既经营老百姓日常生活所需的油盐酱醋茶，又经营各种衣服、鞋帽、日用品，在印度购物你不会觉得太困难。对于喜欢手工艺品和异域风情服饰的人来说印度绝对是购物天堂，这里充满印度特色的各种商品加上便宜的价格令人无法抗拒。其实除了德里、阿格拉和拉贾斯坦，我却很少看到旅游纪念品商店，那些经营本地特色商品的商店主要面对的是本地人，所以老板开价一般都不高。对于各城市商品价格，我感觉差距不是很大，尤其是常见的印度服饰、鞋、大理石雕刻、木雕等，不过各城市还有有一些自己独特的东西，譬如阿格拉的大理石刻、焦特布尔的木雕和香料、乌代普尔的细密画和皮具等。 关于印度人及印度旅行注意事项很多人说印度人比较坏，尤其是对中国人不友善，经过半个多月的北印旅行，我感觉其实也不是这样的。大多数印度人给人感觉不容易接近，他们一般面无表情的注视着游客，当你冲他们微笑，他们也木然的盯着你，给人一种很凶的感觉，其实经过接触你会发现他们只是羞涩和好奇，不苟言笑，不像尼泊尔和兰卡人那么热情，但是当你有事真的向他们求救，他们会非常乐意帮忙。几次乘车时，我和印度人聊天，他们对中国也毫无敌意，对中国或多或少都有所了解，并且很多人都很有自知之明，认为中国远比印度发达。可能这就是一个民主国家，老百姓可以通过各种媒介了解外面的世界。对于印度的注意事项，LP上作为重点用很大篇幅来介绍印度旅行会遇到的骗局，只要你充分做了攻略，这些老旧的骗局已经完全赶不上世界的发展，只要稍加注意便可以避免。唯一叫人感到最麻烦的就是和每个城市的TUTU司机打交道，他们会利用一切机会来投机取巧，从中获得一点小利，哪怕你给他的价格已经很高了。对于应付TUTU司机我也没有很好的方法，人生地不熟，总能叫他们得到机会，记住一点就好了，一切费用上车前全部谈好，不到目的地坚决不付钱。其它方面，饮食上要注意，尽量不要食用路边食物，饮水尽量喝瓶装水，印度天气炎热，注意防晒和补水，不要去招惹印度的流浪狗，注意防盗等等就好了。对于打疫苗我感觉全凭自己需要，打了安心，不打也没有问，并不像报道的那样这里有着各种传染病。 总体来说，印度远没有大家想象的那么差，虽然它很贫穷、它很落后、它脏乱差，但是这些和印度所带给你的各种心灵震撼比完全是微不足道的。瓦拉纳西，恒河晨浴焦特布尔，梅兰加尔下的那片蓝乌代普尔，城市宫殿与皮丘拉湖 阿格拉，夕阳下的阿格拉堡加尔各答，维多利亚宫德里，红堡加尔各答，一切都是未知在决定去印度旅行那一刻起，我就不断地否定自己，是不是这个决定做的过于草率和盲目这种不安心情有点像我第一次背包旅行，一切都是那么的不确定尽管读了大量的攻略、做了最详细的计划、甚至订好了每一段的车票“不可思议的印度”俨然变成“按部就班的印度”但是我的心里还是忐忑不安，不敢畅想这接下来几个未知的日子当飞机缓缓降落的那刻起，我的心才开始兴奋起来-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2012.9.30Kolkata到达加尔各答已经是晚上12点飞机上广播着当地的天气，34度的气温和80%的湿度，叫从中国北方来的我咋舌加尔各答国际机场并不大，设施简单，不过服务到位，停机坪到入境大厅也就百米距离，却有摆渡车接送外籍人入境窗口排队的只有我们十几个中国游客，看样子来印度，尤其是加尔各答的中国人非常少办理手续很简单，没有遇到曾经网上提到过的刁难、索贿等现象，只是办事人员严肃表情的叫你畏惧顺利入关拿到托运行李后就去兑换卢比机场只有两个货币兑换窗口，汇率一样，且都要收取手续费我只换了30美元，保证当晚的坐车和住宿，机场给的汇率太低了预订加尔各答住宿时候咨询机场接站需要700Rs，和房费差不多，后来放弃这个想法在很多攻略里提到印度的机场、车站都有正规的预付费出租车（Pre-Pay Taxi），安全且明码价找到预付费出租车柜台，服务人员告诉我们，到Royd街只要230Rs远远低于网上说的400Rs，刚刚那种挨宰的感觉立刻抛之脑后，欣然接受打印出来的票面上有你要去的目的地和出租车车牌号切记不到目的地，不要把车票给出租车司机，这是他们回来拿钱的唯一凭证，LP上有讲各种乘车骗局出了机场大门，就有大量出租车司机蜂拥上来，争问着我要去哪里给他们看了眼手里的车票，他们指着远处的亭子便散开了那个亭子是预付费出租车管理亭，里面没有电灯，黑漆漆一片服务员拿过车票，借着路灯光亮做了记录，叫我们在亭外等着不一会一辆出租车开过来当我确认上车后，一个黑瘦的服务员问我要10美金做小费，我摇摇头说没有他又要100Rs说是车费，我拿着票说已经付过了，他才很不情愿的放弃出了机场，出租车在路上飞驰窗外建筑低矮破旧、灯光昏暗，汽车在坑挖的道路上无序的穿来穿去景色和加德满都何等的相似车开了半个多小时，还没有一丁点大城市的感觉没有见到高楼大厦、也没有见到宽阔的道路汽车在狭窄的巷子里穿梭，两边都是凌乱不堪的房子偶尔能看到有人横七竖八的睡在街边只是灯光亮了许多经过数次打听总算到了我预定的Sunflower Guest House下车后先看到三个同机的中国朋友，她们正无助的转来转去原来客栈大门已关，这里也没有前台，只有一个服务员睡在电梯边，但她们呼唤了半天，服务员没有半点醒意思不得已，Amy推醒那个服务员，询问他在哪里Check in，我们预定了房间服务员指指电梯，然后又好似睡去我们几个人无奈的自己开了电梯门，发现这个古董电梯我们根本不会用足足一分钟后，那个服务员，总算睡眼惺忪的进来了，话也不说，开始操作电梯到了顶层，服务员叩开一间房门，叫醒地上睡着的另外两个服务员就这样，在闷热的房间里，花了1个小时，总算是完成check in，印度人做事太磨蹭了不过我们还是幸运的另一队朋友预订信息却找不到，不过好在还有空房，所以朋友们如果去印度预定酒店，一定要在出发前确认好，印度人做事有时太不靠谱加尔各答住宿较贵，我们订的是比较便宜的房间，房间狭小，窗户也是朝着楼梯间，不过还算干净现在已经都北京时间凌晨5点了，我足足24小时没有合眼，洗了个澡很快睡去不知道怎么一个天明迎接我们 2012.10.1Kolkata可能旅途劳累，一觉睡到闹表响收拾好行李退房，把大包寄存开始了加尔各答简短的一天行程出发前查攻略发现来加尔各答旅行的人很少就算来到加尔各答也是短暂的中转对加尔各答的描述基本都是没有意思所以我计划只在这里停留一天，然后乘晚上火车前往瓦拉纳西不过人算不如天算今天我本计划去维多利亚纪念馆、印度博物馆，但是没想到周一这两个地方全都闭馆最后我和Amy决定先前往维多利亚纪念馆看看，哪怕只看看外表曾经有人这样描述印度----印度肮脏、混乱、贫穷的场景让他一刻也不愿意停留出了客栈大门，我却感觉眼前的景色反而很亲切炙热的太阳、穿梭的TUTU、五颜六色的建筑、肤色黝黑的行人、甚至空气中的气息，都像极兰卡Royd街没有给我任何肮脏、混乱的感觉，反而觉得很悠闲当我们拐出Royd街，加尔各答变成另一个模样，嘈杂、繁忙、混乱街道交织纵横，拿着地图也很难分辨路的方向我和Amy沿着Park St边问边往维多利亚纪念馆方向走路两边巍然耸立着的古老宏伟的英式殖民建筑，路上行人行色匆匆 加尔各答，印度最大的城市，现西孟加拉邦的首府，一个拥有1500万人口的大城市加尔各答曾作为英国殖民时期印度首府，一直是英国在印度统治的中心，拥有300多年的历史不过，现在这座城市里稍微端庄一点的建筑物均是英国人的遗产，当年的总督府、法院、中央银行，以及志性的维多利亚纪念馆等等这条通往维多利亚纪念馆的大路叫做尼赫鲁大街公路一侧非常繁华，银行、酒店、商场、饭店比比皆是公路另一侧栅栏里就是麦丹广场，但栅栏外却是大片的垃圾场麦丹广场（Maidan）被人们称为“加尔各答之肺”它是由一块巨大的草坪组成的巨大广场，整个广场树木葱茏，鸟语花香很多当地人来这里散步、野餐或乘凉，还有很多孩子在这里骑马、打板球整个环境宁静和谐，这一切的确与先前所耳闻的印度脏乱差情景有着很大的反差穿过麦丹广场就能看到马路对面的一栋白色建筑这就是维多利亚纪念馆（Victoria Memorial）当我看到它第一眼时就被那这座建筑惊呆了整座白色宫殿矗立在绿草地上，仿佛一艘荡漾在碧波上的白船，高资典雅不过很不走运，我到的当天正值维多利亚纪念馆的休息日，只能参观外围公园即使这样，整座建筑也叫外人唏嘘不已维多利亚纪念馆始建于1901年融合了文艺复兴时期和伊斯兰风格，并融汇了英国、意大利和印度的建筑及雕刻技艺的白色宫殿是加尔各答最美丽的建筑物维多利亚纪念馆的建造目的是为了庆祝维多利亚女王结婚60周年这座见证爱情的建筑如今成为印度青年男女约会的圣地纪念馆前绿草茵茵、碧波荡漾，游客悠闲地漫步湖边清洁的水泥小路上整个维多利亚纪念馆真是美不胜收站在维多利亚纪念馆湖边，可远眺加尔各答市区的高楼整个环境宁静和谐，远离了印度城市的喧嚣和肮脏出了维多利亚纪念馆，已经时至中午加尔各答地处热带，本就潮湿闷热，加上中午太阳炙烤体力透支的我和Amy没有了继续往前走的兴致匆匆看了一眼圣保罗大教堂，便往萨德街走攻略上说萨德街距维多利亚纪念馆只有步行二十分钟的距离我们以印度博物馆为坐，边打听边走，其实就是沿原路返回可是这次我觉得路途好远，麦丹广场好大在烈日下狂走半个小时，总算找到印度博物馆周一，和维多利亚纪念馆一样关门休息据称这里是印度藏品最丰富的纪念馆，没有能进去参观非常遗憾印度，真是放着的钱也不赚印度博物馆外是一片嘈杂的市场主要经营的本地服装、鞋帽、日用品如同天津的大胡同、北京的动物园、上海的七浦路等等过了印度博物馆很快就找到了萨德街这条街两侧如同两个世界一侧是学校、咖啡馆、旅店和小商店，另一侧却是贫民窟这些印度最底层的老百姓在墙根屋檐下搭一块塑料布，地上摆着破旧的锅碗，墙上挂着几个塑料袋他们就在污水横流的街边埋锅煮饭，而空气中弥漫着一股腥臊恶臭的气息这就是他们的栖身之地，有点惨不忍睹萨德街路口处的黄包车我来萨德街的目的就是为了换钱和吃饭不过这次又偏离了目看着岔路口远处的繁华，我离开萨德街，进入了一片非常大市场这里从高科技的数码产品到服装、化妆品、工艺品、食品应有尽有街道中间则被小吃摊、小商贩摆的各种摊位所占据不过这里却找不到想找的货币兑换店和像样的餐馆离开这片嘈杂的市场返回萨德街这条东西方向的小街才是背包客聚集地街内布满了各式各样的旅馆、餐馆、网吧、及外汇兑换店在这里可以看到行行色色的各国的游客问了几家货币兑换店汇率都是一样，想还价也都遭到拒绝这就是国情的差异，同样是私人的货币兑换，却都是固定汇率换完钱后就是解决午餐初来乍到，还真不敢尝试印度街边的食物最后找到一家非常干净的小饭店点了在兰卡常吃的鸡肉炒饭和很多人攻略里推荐的印度黄油鸡美美午餐一顿餐后我和Amy计划前往泰戈尔故居和胡戈里河我们来到尼赫鲁大街，发现大量的游行队伍高举着镰刀斧头旗帜，我们陷入了红色的海洋加尔各答是印度共产主义的强大基地印度**控制的左翼阵线在西孟加拉邦连续执政达30年，是世界上执政时间最长的民主选举的**政府下到Esplande地铁站完全叫人窒息售票窗口排满了人，这和中国早晚高峰无异而且整个地铁站没有空调和电扇，闷热无比商量后，我们决定放弃前往其它地方，只在萨德街附近闲逛，好好休息，晚上还要坐一宿火车这一大片区域就是加尔各达著名的New Market，已经有150年的历史是加尔各答最繁华的商业区New Market周围都是各种古老雄伟的殖民建筑下午的市场更加热闹随着人流漫步其间，不由得感叹，加尔各达真是个充满生活气息的城市 就这样走走停停在New Market周围耗了整整一下午时间几乎走遍每一条街道市场是有各种各样出售民族服饰和纪念品的摊点明码价，非常便宜因为这些都不是为游客准备的晚饭后，我们返回客栈取行李因害怕路上耽搁，晚上8点的火车，不到6点我们就出发了出了门就开始空难重重拦下路边的TUTU车，司机一听去火车站，直接摇头不去不得已，我们又步行到Park St看着飞驰的出租车，我们根本打不到，或者说不知道怎么打车路两边高高的栏杆围着，伸手招呼出租车，出租车司机根本就看不到不得已我们背着大包在Park St两侧窜来窜去，如热锅上的蚂蚁最后总算强行拦下一辆出租车出租车离开繁华的Park St，沿着麦丹广场往北开驶过宏伟的维多利亚宫和威廉古堡后，道路变的极其拥堵，而且毫无秩序汽车走走停停，经过近一个小时的爬行，终于看到了灯火通明的大桥我本计划白天来胡各里河上参观豪拉大桥和加尔各答城的如今在夜幕下的河两岸显得异常安静，只有星星点点一些灯光倒影到是豪拉大桥上灯火辉煌，车火马龙、热闹非凡过了大桥,那座宏伟的红色建筑便是豪拉火车站这里更是难以名状的拥挤，出租车把站前广场和进站口挤得水泄不通经过一翻奋战，终于进了车站大厅站在来回涌动的滚滚人流中，我再一次感到窒息这里的人已经不能用多来形容放眼望去，视力能及的地方都是人，唯一的一点空隙也都有人在穿梭印度火车站是不需要检票便可以进入的，也不需要安检，更没有什么车站工作人员一般情况下都是自己去电子提示牌看火车停靠站台在这种场景下，我有些不知所措哪里有问讯处？哪里有休息室？哪里有电子提示牌？我的眼里只剩下人好在时间尚早，我和Amy边打听边找站台后来总算找到几个军人问清了我们所乘火车的站台我和Amy坐在站台一角，看着穿梭不息的人群，不由得恐惧我们从来就没有见过这么多人哪怕中国春运和这里比也是小巫见大巫可这却是印度火车站的常态回想起这短短一天的加尔各答之行，心中感触还是蛮深的很多人把加尔各答比作上海同样是位于一条大河的入海口，临江望海，鱼米之乡，却在帝国主义的炮舰胁迫下开放通商作为曾经王朝的首都，经济、文化、交通的中心这里拥有许多哥特式建筑、巴洛克建筑、罗曼式建筑、东方式和伊斯兰建筑这里诞生了不少世界知名的诗人、思想家印度有五位诺贝尔获奖者来自加尔各答但是随着社会的发展逐渐沉沦，并成为印度的一个缩影巍然耸立的欧式建筑、富丽堂皇的酒店商铺与狭窄昏暗的街道、数不清的贫民窟交织在一起1500万的人口已经成为这个城市的负担我们留给加尔各答的时间太短了，多少有些遗憾在加尔各答有很多事情可以去做，而不像很多攻略中提到的“毫无看头”离开加尔各答的时刻终于要到了我随着熙熙攘攘的人流，匆忙窜上火车，恐怕错过一样我的下一个目的地----瓦拉纳西那里是最脏乱差的印度那里还是最精彩的印度 瓦拉纳西，地狱还是天堂如果你问我去印度旅行一定不要错过哪里，我会告诉你瓦拉纳西如果你问我印度哪个城市最有特点，我会告诉你瓦拉纳西如果你问我对印度哪个城市印象深刻，我还会告诉你瓦拉纳西对于所有来印度旅行的旅行者来说瓦拉纳西似乎永远是一个让人纠结又恨又爱的地方这里是浓缩的印度在这里你能发现印度最糟糕的一面在这里你还会发现印度最精彩的一面--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2012.10.2Varanasi早上不到八点我就在嘈杂的火车上醒来一路上火车晃荡的厉害，我睡睡醒醒，但整体来说睡的不错坐在铺位上望着窗外印度不像中国，大片的荒地，几乎看不到人活动的痕迹火车不出意料的晚点了当火车穿过恒河，我知道瓦拉纳西就在眼前了加尔各答火车站人山人海的场面，回想起来我还心有余悸对于瓦拉纳西做好了充足的心理准备瓦拉纳西是出了名的脏乱城市那些令人畏惧的关于记录恒河的图片和纪录片几乎都是在瓦拉纳西拍的十点多我挤下火车火车站候车大厅地上同样躺满了人，与加尔各答何等的相似这样的场景让我一分钟都不想停留匆匆离开火车站出了车站，很快就我们就被一TUTU司机缠上，不停的告诉我他是司机，可以推荐便宜的旅馆我一边摆着手说着谢谢不需要，一边往预付费出租车站走TUTU司机貌似看出我的心思，一边给我指路，一边告诉我他也是预付费车站的出租车司机看着车站排着长长的队伍，我有些犹豫，就和那个TUTU司机商量到老城的价格最终60Rs成交，这个价格略高于攻略中的价格，还算合理TUTU司机把我们带到他的TUTU车上，问我有没有Guide Book我把手中的LP给他，他一边翻着书一边问我是不是韩国人我就顺口说是啊，TUTU司机立刻用韩语问我好，我也学着用韩语回答着这时TUTU司机翻开瓦拉纳西的地图，告诉我Assi Ghat附近有多么多么好多么多么便宜酒店，而且那里有很多韩国人由于那里离我想去的老城很远，我拒绝了，并要求到老城的Ganga Fuji Guest House司机说那里路很窄，TUTU进不去，然后继续和我说他要带我去的酒店有多么多么好我对迷宫小巷早有耳闻，TUTU车进不去，但是那里住宿集中，离Main Ghat也近，我依然坚持到老城的Ganga Fuji最后司机不太情愿的同意了其实我并没有预订瓦拉纳西的住宿选择Ganga Fuji是网上推荐并且说那里是迷宫小巷的地性建筑，当地人都知道我和Amy准备到了那再找合适住宿TUTU车冲出车站天气很热，加上气候干燥，整个城市笼罩在灰尘之中瓦拉纳西的路不算宽，遍地垃圾自行车、汽车、摩托车、人力三轮车随意在路上行驶着，车速非常快这里的交通可以用无序来形容我们的TUTU车画着之子在车流中穿梭TUTU司机用印度英语和我聊着天我几乎听不懂，Amy给我翻译着TUTU司机说很多和我们一样来瓦拉纳西的旅行者，都说自己是韩国人但是经过交流发现这些人根本不是韩国人，因为他们说的话根本不像韩语这些旅行者要么是日本人，要么是中国人，要么是来自台湾我偷偷把中文的攻略盖上，小声和Amy说，咱们俩说话后面要加上“思密达”吧后面发生了惊险的一幕司机一边和我们聊着天，一边开着TUTU车，车速飞快这时前面一辆小汽车突然刹车，TUTU司机一看要追尾，立刻向右一拐与此同时后面窜上来一辆摩托车，直接撞在我们的TUTU上摩托司机站起来，怒目而视，嚷嚷起来只见TUTU司机指着前面的小汽车，也大吼起来，好像是说前面汽车急刹车我也没办法，只能躲他，撞到你你认倒霉吧看样子可能要打起来就在我惊魂未定的时候，TUTU司机一踩油门离开肇事地点然后TUTU司机回过头和我继续聊着先前话，仿佛没有发生任何事情这就是印度混乱的交通，这就是不可思议的印度TUTU司机把我们拉倒加油站，说要加油然后找我要60Rs，说他早晨没有挣到钱，叫我先付了车费，然后一个劲的说No problem，会把我们送到，叫我放心我感觉这个司机很热情，而且我也不能太不信任别人，我就替他付了油钱后面TUTU司机一样边开车边给我们介绍着瓦拉纳西，告诉我们每一个地方的特点，依然很热情TUTU车开了很久，却不见任何城市热闹的场景，反而越走越荒凉不久TUTU车拐进一条小巷，然后停下来，告诉我下车，里面开不进去了我以为这就是迷宫小巷，连忙道谢TUTU司机叫我们跟着他，说他带我们去Ganga Fuji我和Amy将信将疑的跟着TUTU司机把我们带进到一个居民楼下，说这里就是Ganga Fuji，然后边招呼我们边和客栈老板用印地语交流着我们站在门口发现这里没有任何牌子Amy机警的问客栈老板这是Ganga Fuji吗？老板含糊的说是然后客栈老板问我们住什么样的房间，我们说先看看房间情况再决定老板带我们上楼看房间，Amy和我还是很疑惑，这么有名的客栈不可能没有牌匾啊这家客栈房间倒是宽敞、干净，有的房间还可以眺望到恒河，空调间750Rs不过我和Amy还是非常怀疑这个客栈的身份，决定再看看离开时，Amy和老板要名片，老板说已经发完了出了门，Amy到隔壁问这家客栈名字，邻居也说不清楚我们确信这是假冒的Ganga Fuji，决定自己找TUTU司机看我们要离开就一直纠缠着我们当我们打听路，他会用印地语和对方说着什么，好像阻止对方给我们指路当我们决定往小巷的某一侧走的时候，他总是说路不对，然后指引我们往相反的方向走最后把我逼的忍无可忍，大吼着把他赶走这就是来到印度厚我们遇到的第一件不愉快的事情因为我提前付了钱，这个TUTU司机就没有把我们带到我们要去的老城，而是把我们带到了能收取回扣的客栈这里位置非常偏远，应该在Assi Ghat附近，正常情况下很少有游客到这边的打发走了TUTU司机，我和Amy边打听边往沿着恒河往城里走这时候已经时至中午，潮湿闷热的瓦拉纳西很快叫我们两人都感到虚脱最后在一条小巷找到了网上推荐过的OM Guest House（阿木之家）和久美子（kumiko Guest House）我们先到OM，这里房间虽然很简陋，也没有空调和热水淋浴，但是体力透支使我们不想在背着大包去其它地方，决定就住在这里OM不知道是不是韩国人经营的旅店，这里住满了韩国游客而隔壁的久美子却是日本旅行者的聚集地舒舒服服的冲了个冷水澡，饥热交迫使我们顾不得去什么恒河，随便到门口一家餐馆填饱肚子饭后，我们沿着小巷主路去逛恒河和迷宫小巷在印度，印度教信徒终生怀有4大乐趣----住瓦拉纳西、结交圣人、饮恒河水、敬仰湿婆神其中有三个都要在瓦拉纳西实现瓦拉纳西因为独特的地理位置成为了印度教徒眼中唯一的圣城,享有“印度之光”的称号瓦拉纳西原名贝拿勒斯（Benares），相传6000年前由婆罗门教和印度教主神之一的湿婆神所建早在公元前4至6世纪，这里已是印度的学术中心，并在此诞生了印度另一古老的宗教耆那教公元前5世纪，释迦牟尼在瓦拉纳西西北10公里处的鹿野苑首次公开讲经传教公元7世纪，唐僧玄奘到此游历朝圣，并写下著作《大唐西域记》美国作家马克·吐温当年来这里讲学时，幽默地称这座城市“比历史古老，比传统古老，甚至比传说还要古老。它看起来比所有这一切加起来还要老上两倍多”。由此可见，瓦拉纳西不仅在印度、甚至在全世界上来讲，都是一座沉淀了丰厚历史与文化的名城不过我对瓦拉纳西的第一印象却是肮脏、拥挤、狭窄、杂乱无章街道两旁的建筑像快要倒塌一样，压得人喘不过气来小巷阴森恐怖，地上遍布牛粪、狗屎、垃圾，腥臭扑鼻神牛、野狗还有猴子会随时出现在你面前，阻挡你前行的方向摩托车、自行车却在不足2米宽拥挤的小巷内飞奔着男人毫不避讳外人就在街边蹲着小便可以说瓦拉纳西比你能想象的最脏乱的情景还要脏乱上两倍对于眼前的现状，我几乎丧失了继续待下去的兴趣，希望快点离开瓦拉纳西相对我的恐慌，Amy却欣然接受了眼前的一切她说这混乱、肮脏、无序的环境，充满了生活的气息，与这个城市的神圣与信仰形成了鲜明的对比对于瓦拉纳西的混乱，我几乎没有去拍，或者说那时那景我几乎不知道如何去拍照几经辛苦终于来到恒河边上阴沉沉的天气下，恒河显得异常浑浊，岸边的淤泥里沉积着所有能想象到的腐烂物河里有人在畅快的沐浴祷告，野牛和野狗在河边淤泥里找着食物，僧人在河边打坐冥思，河中偶尔有船只飘过纵然我做了充分心理准备，对于眼前的场面怎么也不能和神圣挂钩离开热闹的Dasaswamedh Ghat，返回迷宫小巷，去寻找金庙、著名的Blue Lassi和Scindhia Ghat瓦拉那西最著名的印度教寺庙金庙坐落迷宫小巷中，附近有大量警察和士兵把守因为供奉的是湿婆神，这里人气极其旺盛，每天都有大量信徒排队进入进入参观是不允许携带背包、相机、手机等物品，搜查极其严格看到长长的队伍，我们再次选择放弃过了金庙往前就是著名的Blue Lassi，LP上极力推荐，各国游客慕名而来这家蓝色的开凿在墙上的小店，出售不同口味的Lassi，纯手工制作，很有特点，是我在印度吃的最好吃的Lassi由于攻略中错误，我误以为Scindihia Ghat是焚尸河阶经过不停打听找到Scindihia Ghat，这里只有大量沐浴的人群看焚尸场面，应该说是来瓦拉纳西必做的事情之一印度教徒坚信凡在恒河死亡火化并把骨灰撒入恒河，可免受轮回之苦，直接升入天堂所以很多觉得即将死亡的老人会来到瓦拉纳西等待死亡而焚尸台每天也约有200多具尸体在此焚化，一天24小时都不停歇真正的焚尸河阶叫做Manikarnika Ghat，在Scindihia Ghat边当我们到达Scindihia不久天空便飘起小雨我们不得不放弃去Manikarnika的计划离开Scindihia，返回客栈休息，等着晚上恒河夜祭到瓦拉纳西必须要做的第二件事就是观看恒河夜祭每天晚上七点在恒河边的Dasaswamedh Ghat都要举行拜祭河神的仪式印度教徒以此感恩于恒河所赐予的一切，以示对恒河的崇敬这个流传千年的祭典沿袭每天都在这里上演，风雨不改我们到的较晚，台阶上、祭台前后、河边的船上已经都坐满了信众与游人Dasaswamedh Ghat回荡着悠扬的颂歌声整个夜祭过程是祭司用整齐、徐缓、不断重复的动作，并和着悠扬的吟唱仪式上共五种法器，每换一种法器，致敬程序基本相同，礼敬仪式都分别朝东南西北各做一遍祭司都必须是年轻纯正婆罗门氏，通过吟唱、舞蹈等表演，让人体会到宗教仪式的魔力([]
