走进野性非洲——2013年7月肯尼亚野生动物游猎记行摄匆匆 小时候,我们从书本上知道了大象、狮子和老虎,我们对这些动物既喜欢又害怕,而去动物园看它们则是我们童年时代共同的梦想。肯尼亚是世界上公认的观赏野生动物的最佳国度。在马赛马拉动物保护区,非洲五兽——非洲象、犀牛、野牛、狮子和猎豹随处可见;在博格利亚湖国家公园,红色的火烈鸟成群结队在蓝天碧水间翱翔;在安布塞利国家公园,海明威笔下的乞立马扎罗雪山映照着满地的如茵绿草。每年的7-9月份,东非大草原上数以百万计的野生动物开始了一年一度的大迁徙,成群结队的角马、斑马和羚羊由南部的坦桑尼亚向邻近的肯尼亚迁徙,场面甚为壮观。 2013年夏天,我们终于踏上这片非洲热土,去肯尼亚看动物大迁徙。从某种意义上讲,这是去圆一个我们儿时的梦。Safari一词源于肯尼亚的地方语言斯瓦西里语,是名词“旅游”的斯瓦西里语发音。19世纪中后期欧洲对非洲的大规模殖民入侵和开发过程中,遍布非洲草原的野生动物成为欧洲人感兴趣的目,以真枪狩猎为内容的非洲旅行成为欧洲人的选择。作为英国殖民地的肯尼亚,是欧洲人狩猎旅行最主要的目的地。于是,对这种旅行的定义借用了当地斯瓦西里语,被称为safari。丹麦女作家伊萨克̶6;迪内森的小说,后来被西德尼•波拉克拍成奥斯卡获奖电影的《走出非洲》,描写的就是那时的场景。随着野生动物保护观念的兴起,携带真枪的狩猎行为被大大限制了,照相机取代了真枪,safari成为特指到东非以观赏拍摄野生动物为目的的旅行的代名词,这个词也进入了英文字典。safari翻译成中文就是狩猎旅行或者游猎。 十来天的safari,从动物不太密集的地区一路旅行到野生动物集中的区域,这是一种非常特别的享受。这很像一曲好的音乐或者一部好的电影,以饶有兴味不紧不慢的序幕引入,逐渐推向高潮,戛然而止,让我们兴奋不已、回味无穷!时间:2013年7月26日——8月6日线路:内罗毕(Nairobi)—马赛马拉(Maasai Mara)—奈瓦沙(Naivasha)—博格利亚(Bogoria)—甜水(Sweet Waters)—桑布鲁(Samburu)—内罗毕(Nairobi)队员:行摄匆匆、游民、相守、阿韦、有足道、天下网拳、岚轩主人、博士,Najia,洁玲,似水年华,葱花,眼镜蛇,夭夭。 游记分三个部分第一部分 图片集锦(第1页)一、动物成群二、大象起舞三、惊艳火烈鸟四、狮王争霸五、猎豹传奇六、长颈鹿漫步七、鸟儿飞翔八、斑马世界九、羚羊精灵十、百兽争春十一、马赛风情十二:儿童世界十三、桑布鲁参观十四:日出日落十五:马叉到底第二部分 详细攻略(第13页)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1837088-13-1.html一、线路设计二、游猎公司的选择三、机票购买四、证办理五、健康黄皮书六、或有风险七、装备建议八、出入境九、肯尼亚简介十、肯尼亚旅游须知第三部分 游猎日记(第20页)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1837088-20-1.htmlD17月26日,深圳——广州——曼谷——内罗毕1.1.第一次碰头会&饯行宴1.2.最快的一次打包1.3.备忘录1.4.机场大巴1.5.团队窗口1.6.功夫不负有心人(第21页)1.7.经停曼谷1.8.飞越印度洋1.9.谷歌地图失灵第一部分 图片集锦图片集锦之一:动物成群图片集锦之二:大象起舞图片集锦之三:惊艳火烈鸟图片集锦之四:狮王争霸图片集锦之五:猎豹传奇图片集锦之六:长颈鹿漫步图片集锦之七:鸟儿飞翔图片集锦之八:斑马世界图片集锦之九:羚羊精灵图片集锦之十:百兽争春图片集锦之十一:马赛风情图片集锦之十二:儿童世界图片集锦之十三:桑布鲁参观图片集锦之十四:日出日落图片集锦之十五:马叉到底第二部分 肯尼亚游猎攻略一、线路设计 刚开始我们的计划是两周17天的游猎时间,景点包括肯尼亚6大国家公园:安博塞利、马赛马拉、纳库鲁湖、博格里亚湖、阿布戴尔和桑布鲁。这个行程的经济团报价都在2500美金以上。为了降低成本,我们去掉了性价比不高的安博塞利、阿布戴尔和纳库鲁湖,增加了相对便宜的甜水自然保护区和纳瓦沙,时间也从17天压缩到11天,费用则从2500美金降低到1600美金。如果还想顺道去登非洲最高峰乞力马扎罗(5892米)的话,那么只需再多花7天时间和1000美金即可。以下是我们最终行程计划:D1:7月26日,广州—内罗毕肯尼亚航空21:35广州起飞,第二天肯尼亚时间6:05到达内罗毕(大约北京时间11点),飞行时间约14小时。住:飞机上吃:XXXD2:7月27日,内罗毕—马赛马拉车程:270公里,约5.5小时,经停东非大裂谷东部观景点。Game Drive:16:00~18:30住:Mara Impala Camp吃:XLDD3:7月28日,马赛马拉全天Game Drive:08:00~16:00,中午在马拉河边西式盒餐。住:Mara Impala Camp吃:BLDD4:7月29日, 马赛马拉全天Game Drive:08:00~16:00,中午在马拉河边西式盒餐,下午去马赛村参观。住:Mara Impala Camp吃:BLDD5:7月30日,马赛马拉—纳瓦沙—纳库鲁车程:340公里,约6小时,Morning Game Drive:06:30~08:30,返回酒店早餐,之后驱车前往纳瓦沙湖,在镇上午餐,下午乘船游纳瓦沙湖(1小时)。游完纳瓦沙湖后前往纳库鲁,从纳瓦沙到纳库鲁,约100公里,1.5小时的车程。住:Geneview Hotel吃:BLDD6:7月31日,纳库鲁—博戈里亚—纳库鲁车程:130公里,约2小时,中途经停赤道。早起5点出发前往博戈里亚湖,到了博戈里亚湖后进入湖区观赏火烈鸟,中午返回纳库鲁,下午纳库鲁镇游玩。住:Geneview Hotel吃:BLDD7:8月1日,纳库鲁—甜水—纳纽基全程:约200公里,约4小时抵达纳纽基,入住Simba’s Hotel,中午甜水保护区(Sweet Water Tend Camp)午餐。纳纽基到甜水大约20分钟车程。Game Drive:16:00~18:30住:Simba’s Hotel吃:BLDD8:8月2日,纳纽基—桑布鲁车程:130公里,约2.5小时。Game Drive:16:00~18:30住:Samburu Sopa Lodge吃:BLDD9:8月3日, 桑布鲁早上一次Game Drive:06:30~08:30,返回酒店早餐,其余时间休息,中午在酒店内午餐,傍晚一次Game Drive:16:00~18:30,中午桑布鲁村参观。 住:Samburu Sopa Lodge吃:BLDD10:8月4日,桑布鲁—内罗毕车程:360公里,约7小时。沿途购物点购物,中午内罗毕午餐,下午内罗毕市内游玩、购物,晚上内罗毕国际机场肯尼亚航空KQ886航班23:35(当地时间)起飞。住:飞机上吃:BXXD11:8与5日,内罗毕—广州19:05到达广州。注:餐食中,B-早餐、L-午餐、D-晚餐、X-自理报价:4人车,每人1660美金,6人车每人1560美金。附:初始17天游猎计划D1:7月26日,广州—内罗毕,住宿:飞机上D2:7月27日,早上6:05到达内罗毕机场。内罗毕—安博塞利,住宿:安博塞利。D3:7月28日,安博塞利,住宿:安博塞利D4:7月29日,安博塞利—内罗毕,住宿:内罗毕D5:7月30日,内罗毕—马赛马拉,住宿:马赛马拉D6:7月31日,马赛马拉,住宿:马赛马拉D7:8月1日,马赛马拉,住宿:马赛马拉D8:8月2日,马赛马拉,住宿:马赛马拉D9:8月3日,马赛马拉—马赛村,住宿:Narok镇D10:8月4日,Narok镇—纳库鲁湖,住宿:纳库鲁湖D11:8月5日,纳库鲁湖—博格里亚湖,住宿:博格里亚湖D12:8月6日,博格里亚湖—阿布戴尔,住宿:阿布戴尔D13:8月7日,阿布戴尔—桑布鲁,住宿:桑布鲁D14:8月8日,桑布鲁,住宿:桑布鲁D15:8月9日,桑布鲁—内罗毕,住宿:内罗毕D16:8月10日,内罗毕一日游,晚上23:35飞机离开。住宿:飞机上D17:8月11日,内罗毕—广州,19:05抵达广州二、游猎公司的选择 经过对网上中国驴友推荐的几家游猎公司和LP上推荐的几家游猎公司的信息进行整理和分析,我们挑选出6家以做经济型游猎为主的公司进行了邮件联系,及时回复的的有以下几家:1、KIBO SLOPES SAFARIS LTDHEAD OFFICE - NGONG RD, BOX 58064, 00200 NRB, KenyaTel+254 - 020-2139981 | 020- 2633217 - Cell+254 - 0-719 381 519Email Expeditions@kiboslopessafaris.com,kibo@nbnet.co.ke,info@kiboslopessafaris.com。 Webwww.KiboSlopesSafaris.Com2、Wildness Discovery Safari Limited(野外发现)联系人:汤麟,电话:000254-713146553,QQ:445943489,邮箱:445943489@qq.com,mr.gracefulkirin@gmail.comddress Rehema house, 3rd Floor Standard Street, P.O.

本人是火车迷,最喜欢西南的纯美自然风光。作品在铁路论坛类论坛发了不少,经一位老朋友介绍来到这里。希望大家都喜欢本人的作品其实美丽的风景并不一定只在各种旅游攻略书籍中,只要自己用心去寻找,西南处处有美景坐着西南的绿皮火车,慢慢的欣赏自然风光就是个不错的选择。 由于西南特殊地形的限制,这里的铁路线大多建于本世纪五、六十年代,线路蜿延前行,无数铁道兵战士为了修建祖国的钢铁大动脉,将自己的青春献给了这里,甚至付出了宝贵的生命。 虽然西南铁路路网稠密,但由于受到地理环境条件的限制。除新修的渝怀、新黔桂线之外,基本上都修建于本世纪五、六十年代。受资金、技术、设备所限。基本上都是单线铁路。经常需要穿越山脉、河流。只能依山蜿蜒前行。这种独特的景观是平原地区的线路所不具备的。 西南地区大致包括四川、重庆、贵州、云南、湘西等地。其中铁路风光最美丽的是成昆、(成都--昆明)川黔(重庆--贵阳)、内六(内江--六盘水) 渝怀(重庆北--怀化)、南昆(南宁--昆明)、贵昆、湘黔(株洲--贵阳)、水柏(六盘水--柏果)、焦柳线南段等线路。 此次出行线路: D1、郑州----昆明(南航航班) D2、昆明----石林(7452次列车硬座,游览石林车站周边) 石林----威舍(普通慢车硬座) D3、威舍----六盘水(6001次列车硬座) D4、六盘水----怀化(K110次列车硬座) D5、怀化----漾头(7272次列车硬座) 暴走漾头--九龙洞缓开站区间10公里,拦车去铜仁 铜仁----怀化(7271次列车硬座) D6、怀化----郑州(K268次列车硬座) D7、郑州----贵阳(1645次列车硬卧) D8、贵阳----重庆(绿皮列车硬卧) D9、重庆----白马(长途客车) 白马----涪陵----重庆(长途客车) 重庆----郑州(南航CZ3480航班)回复 伤心的宾宾 的帖子早早订下到昆明的1.8折特价机票 09年4月初的1天,出发前往新郑国际机场……驶上机场高速,旁边是京港澳高速河南的高速公路非常发达,通车里程全国第一郑州新郑国际机场……地处中原腹地省会郑州,位于我国最繁忙的京广航路的中部,又在沿海地区和西部地区结合部分,因此是我国重要的干线机场及空中交通枢纽。它位于郑州市东南方向,距郑州市区直线距离15公里,距新郑市区直线距离15公里。 于1997年8月28日通航的郑州新郑机场是按照国际化准设计的,场道布局合理,设施功能完善,机场飞行区等级为4E级,机场占地面积为25平方公里,跑道长3800米,宽65米,可满足目前世界上最大的b747---400型客机起降。停机坪面积87万平方米,可同时停放18架大型飞机。航行管制系统配备有全固态一/二次雷达,跑道双向仪表着陆系统,双向进近灯光系统,全向信台地空数据链及vhf四/八信道无线共用系统先进装备,保证飞机的正常飞行及夜航和盲降的要求远处还有焦作、晋城的大巴 郑州新郑机场相继开通了省内各省辖市,还有山西晋城的班车。头一次在新郑机场新航站楼乘机,挺新鲜我的航班CZ3439,14:50起飞BS此人,用自己扮演的伟人形象为产品代言中国南方航空公司的波音737--300小型客机, 它将搭载我飞进美丽的大西南 到昆明的航线一直是热门线路。今天的上座率达到了98%蓝天,白云朵朵……餐食不错 牛肉、鱼肉饭二选一,小面包、涪陵榨菜、圣水果、 还有餐巾纸、湿巾、牙。 为旅客想的很周到经过2小时18分钟的飞行,准备降落……昆明当天下雨,下车后坐上52路前往市区。 途中停车“双桥村”,显然是都市村庄。 这里肯定有物美价廉的旅馆,在此下车这里小旅馆,招待所很多。价格从10--50元不等 35元的小准间,还不错 还提供一次性洗漱用品条件还不错,35元挺值晒一下自己所带的物品 自认为该带的都带了,没想到一件非常重要的物品却忘到了家中…… 给我的行程带来了无尽的遗憾!当天晚上先去昆明站买票,这里离火车站不远 当时下雨,昆明站售票厅内买票的旅客很多,但只开了4个窗口 没有警察维持秩序,看得出其中有几个小偷 排队20分钟后买到次日的7452车票 昆明--红果次日早早起床,准备乘公交开往昆明站。 这里位于春城路,位于昆明巫家坝国际机场和火车站的正中间。 交通还是非常方便的31路公交车到了终点站……昆明站 却还要走500多米昆明站的建筑还是非常漂亮的昆明站,或者称南窑火车站 址在云南省昆明市官渡区官渡镇,北京路的南端.同时也是昆明市区的南部,可乘2、3、23、83、等公交车到达。邮政编码650200。建于1997年。离南宁站811公里,,隶属昆明铁路局管辖。现为特等站。客运:办理旅客乘降;行李、包裹托运。货运:办理整车货物发到;不办理整车爆炸品及整车一级氧化剂发这个雕像似乎更应该放在证券营业部…… 已经登上7452次列车…… 旁边是T61次的到达车底,还未回库 昆明站唯一跨局特快……车票…… 如果只为了到红果,完全可以坐8:08始发的6062次。此车途经贵昆,盘西线到达红果。全程261KM 而我所坐的7452将走南昆,经威舍上威红线到达红果。全程376KM 至于原因……只为了运转美丽的石林告别昆明站…… 开始自己的第一段旅程此时与贵昆线平行,一会儿才能驶上南昆线([]
乌孙是公元前二世纪崛起于新疆伊犁河流域的西域古国,鼎盛时期人口达到63万,一度成为西域三十六国最强大的国家,在伊利草原留下了悠久的璀璨历史。东汉末年,乌孙内乱国势羸弱,在鲜卑的攻击下退入葱岭散居,至今天山深处还残留着乌孙古城遗迹。 乌孙向南越过天山沿塔里木河东行直至长安,是乌孙与汉朝使团、商队往来的通道。乌孙(包扎墩)古道与夏特古道相距近200公里,均是连接天山南北的通道,被统称为乌孙古道。 60多年前,一支军队成功连穿了两条古道,1946年,已经控制伊宁地区的三区民族军制订了南北中三线作战计划,南线作战部队于1946年6月从伊犁州特克斯县琼库什台村出发,翻过包扎墩达坂,穿过130公里长的乌孙古道越过天山进击南疆,攻占了拜城和温宿县,在攻打南疆重镇阿克苏失利后,又于10月突破国民党军队在夏特古道的阻击撤回北疆。 我们计划重走60年前的这条行军路线,先从北到南穿越乌孙古道,再从南到北反穿夏特古道回到北疆。 这是一场没能最终完成的旅行,当旅行戛然而止的那一刻心中满是沮丧。无奈和惆怅渐渐淡去,伴随着记忆的回放,那些不断泛起的点点滴滴却总是试图提醒我,这已经是一场完美旅行。 利空出尽是利好 研究路线做好攻略,接下来就是招兵买马,每年的寻伴总是个难,今年也不例外。原计划组建六人队伍,可是折腾了几个月,临到出发前一个月才勉强凑够四个人。 以前每一次旅行都没有超过两人,所以四人的庞大队伍已经让我很是满意,不过,即使是这样低水平的满意也没能持续多久,出发前第9天,一个队员因事要求退出。通常情况少一个人也不打紧,在人数问上我早就习惯了随遇而安,但走这条有些风险的线路,少一个负责技术和安全的核心队员,简直就是釜底抽薪。剩下两位同伴让我心里直打鼓,一个是价真货实的路痴型傻走驴简单,另一个是对线路毫不关心的摄影迷老米(米老鼠)。 简单一门心思痴迷于走路,但从不去关心怎么走,她说看到攻略和地图上的花花碌碌就头晕的厉害,我也就没强逼鸭子上架。 老米忙着研究负重拍片功略也不会去关心徒步攻略,老米这是第二次徒步,第一次负重,为了凑够人数,在我软硬兼施的动员下好不容易才把他给拉入队伍,他原本不是路痴,处于对二十年老友的盲目信任让他自甘堕落成了路痴。 虽然都是两眼一抹黑,路痴甲和路痴乙却具有强烈的革命乐观主义精神,他俩意见高度统一,“队长,怕啥呢,走不通回头是岸。”很干脆的把一大堆烦恼丢给了我。 去年穿越乌孙古道的小蜜蜂特意叮嘱我,三个人过科克苏河上的溜索基本不可能,那些溜索绑在离地近三米高的树干上,人手太少很难把人托举起挂上溜索,除非你能像猴子一样爬树。在那些纠结的日子里,不止一次梦到自己出现了严重的返祖现象。 纠结的日子里利空消息传来,科克苏河上的溜索已经被洪水冲断,线路受阻,于是紧急研究备用路线方案——绕道溜索上游木桥多走两天多翻三个达坂完成穿越。 备用方案还没捂热,更大的利空接踵而至,而且是坏事成双——溜索上游所有的木桥都被洪水冲毁,必经之路科克苏河已经无法逾越+夏特大冰壁断裂,线路有大变动。 这些不能回避又没法证实的坏消息让人头疼,我试图把这些重大利空与甲乙同志分享,两同志沉浸在徒步装备购置和摄影器材添置带来的网购快乐中,显然无暇它顾,不过他们的意见仍然很统一,“队长,别怕,走不通回头另找一条路走就是。”似乎天山里通向南疆的坦途多如牛毛。 我只能心怀侥幸的安慰自己——兴许,利空出尽就该是利好了吧。 反复研究路上可能会遇到的困难,保护措施也独个儿演练了好几次(甲乙同志都很忙,没空参与),心里还是忐忑不安,骨灰级路痴已经指望不上,只能叮嘱自称地理高考98分(20年前还是100分制)的老米认真研究攻略,我想,路上有个人商量总是能壮壮胆。 第二天,老米兴奋的告诉我,“攻略看完了,搞半天才弄明白我们队伍是先走乌孙再走夏特呀!”说完顺便问了一句:“背几个镜头合适些?三脚架带哪种?”直接打消了我拉人壮胆的幻想。 出发前了解到今年还有几支队伍进乌孙,一交流才发现很不对劲,几乎每支队伍都是经过多次拉练层层筛选淘汰才组建起来,对这些队伍来讲,走过墨脱就自称强驴的人连参加拉练的资格都没有,选拔队员的准最低也是特种兵级别。 回头再看我们生拉活拽勉强凑成的队伍,怎么看怎么像草台班子,不过心里还是暗自庆幸,幸亏我们是今年第一支溜进山的穿越队伍,否则在路上遇到特种兵,民兵们多半都不好意思招呼。老米老友第二次徒步第一次负重 八卦城 9月19日清晨8点35分,从乌鲁木齐出发的5815次列车驶进伊宁市火车站,提前联系好的王师傅(王正林13519993637)已经等在火车站门口,坐上车就直奔徒步起点——特克斯县琼库什台村。 特克斯是乌孙古国夏都所在地,现在的特克斯县城始建于1938年,因完全依据后天八卦图建成而得名八卦城。 据特克斯县志记载,南宋嘉定三年,道教全真七子之一的丘处机应成吉思汗的邀请前往西域,在游历天山的途中,发现了特克斯这块“风水龙脉”,丘处机用后天八卦图确定了坎北、离南、震东、兑西的八卦方位,这就是特克斯八卦城雏型的最早传说。 1936年,新疆军阀盛世才的岳父宗秋浚调任伊犁屯垦使兼警备司令,精通易理的宗秋浚也发现了特克斯这块风水宝地,他亲自设计了八卦城图,1938年,特克斯县县长班吉春开始主持修建八卦城。 八卦城堪称《周易》八卦学说与城市规划实践完美结合的经典之作,八卦城以城中心花园为太极“阴阳”两仪,按八卦方位向外辐射八条主街,每条主街长1200米,每隔360米一条环路,一环8条街,二环16条街,三环32条街,四环64条街。这些街道按八卦方位形成了64卦,整个八卦城栩栩如生的演绎了《周易》学说的深奥内涵,简直是建筑史上的奇迹。进山前在特克斯县最后一次进餐,所以这碗大号牛肉面端上来后,我又另添了一份牛肉和一份面条 路痴甲培训路痴乙 从特克斯县出来很快进山,拐进河谷,眼前的水电工地干得热火朝天,面对挖得乱七八糟的道路,王师傅有些傻眼,他说去年来的时候这里的河谷静悄悄。 一辆水泥搅拌车突突的开过来,开车师傅竟然是王师傅的熟人,一阵寒暄后,在他的指点下东绕西绕终于绕上进山的碎石路。 百无聊赖中,简单竟然破天荒的关心起线路来,听到简单漫不经心的随口一问,老米立马来了精神,临时抱佛脚掏出功略开始认真讲解起来。忙着现炒现卖着意卖弄的老米,显然没注意到简单已经听的昏昏欲睡,忍不住嘀咕了一句,“路痴甲培训路痴乙。” 老米讪笑着住了口。 琼库什台村 翻过山口,蕴积已久的乌云终于垮下脸,雨开始下个不停,山谷里浓雾弥漫,能见度极低,王师傅紧握着方向盘,汽车缓慢滑行在泥泞的下山道上,雨雾中我们抵达了徒步起点——琼库什台牧业村。 下车后,开始重新打包收拾,一群哈萨克牧民迅速聚集过来,围着我们指指点点议论个不停,出发前拍合影时,看稀奇的牧民们呼啦一下涌进镜头,毫不客气的把几个穿越主角给生生挤到角落里去。 下午三点半,我们在淅淅沥沥的雨中出发。出发前的合影,牧民成了主角,中间这位大汉颇有点舍我其谁的气势 甲可思摸 雨雾在山谷里快速涌动,山林溪流忽隐忽现,我们沿着湿滑泥泞的马道往山谷深处走去,出发后老米显得很兴奋,拿着相机拍得很起劲,泥泞马道上左右穿插频频按动快门,尽管镜头上已是水珠点点,还是时不时的来个雨中静物特写,队伍走走停停简直就像是幼儿园的春游。 琼库什台村是哈萨克族牧民聚居点,不时有骑马牧民赶着牛羊回村,入秋后天气渐冷,天山深处的达坂已经积雪,牧民开始从深山牧场往村子里撤,牛背马背上驮着大捆大捆的家当。 沿途牧民总是向我们投来好奇的目光,路上临时抱佛脚学了一句哈萨克语的“你好”——甲可思摸,这下终于能派上用场,于是见人就是“甲可思摸”,把迎面而来的牧民挨个“摸”了一遍,尽管“摸”得很认真,老米有时还帮着“摸”,有些牧民甚至连“摸”了好几遍,我们殷勤的劳动却没有收获热情的果实。 大多数牧民骑在高头大马上傲然斜睨,神色冷然,骑马的看不起走路的我能理解,自古以来,骑兵瞧不起步兵本就是一种光荣传统。所以,偶尔有骑兵点点头就会引来我们使劲的“摸”,偶尔有骑兵赏脸回“摸”步兵一下,这一“摸”总是让我很激动。驮着全副家当回村的牧民,这头牛长的有些喜剧,像是戴着白色面具 再来一次? 进山的道路沿着溪流左岸缓慢爬升,穿出树林,雨水更加稠密,茫茫白雾笼罩着山野,哗哗的流水声回荡在山谷。 云雾中行走,我们对风景的期待已经降到最低准,偶尔浓雾倏忽散开,那仿若施舍般显露出来的茵茵草地和山谷木屋,总是引得我和老米手忙脚乱,很没出息的抢着掏相机。 斜坡上马道泥泞湿滑,泥浆被牲口践踏得一团糟,所谓马道,现在看起来就是马走起来很爽,人走起来很不爽的道路。不愿在泥浆里深一脚浅一脚的踩,改走上斜坡草地,不料绿茵草地积满水更加湿滑,暗藏杀机。 没走出多远,支撑脚一滑,身体陡然歪斜,肩上压着70斤的重量,担心受伤不敢硬拧,把相机紧搂在怀里,侧身重重的倒在泥水里,慢慢的爬起身,已成了个泥人。 老米和简单呆呆的看我表演,连忙转头问老米:“拍照了没有?”两人连连摇头,看到我遗憾的表情,老米说,“或者,你再来一次?”斜坡草地,看上去很美,狼狈不堪的从地上爬起来,满脸是泥 邀请来得太早 爬上山坡,道旁木屋里走出一个年轻女子,在雨中径直向我们走来,用生硬的汉语招呼着:“休息不?吃饭不?”反复问了几遍又用手做出扒饭的动作。 走在山谷里,沿途擦身而过的牧民都显得很冷淡,突然走出个年轻女子这么热情的邀请,巨大的反差让我有点受宠若惊。 通常在旅行途中,别说这样热情的邀请没法拒绝,即使是蹭吃蹭喝的机会偶尔乍现,都会让我忙不迭的扑上去。 回头看看老米和简单,他们对年轻女人的热情邀请显得无动于衷,的确,年轻女人的邀请来得太早了些,即使在冰冷的雨水中走路很不爽,可是才走一个多小时就让他们停下来吃喝享乐,老米可能无所谓,简单多半打死也不从。 悻悻婉拒了女人的热情邀请,继续向雨雾弥漫的山谷深处走去,走出很远,还心欠欠的频频回头张望。 路痴定律 雨水无休止的倾泻,内衣已经湿透,气温降得很低,就在卸包吃馕那一小会儿功夫,双手很快就冻僵,连馕饼都拿捏不住。 走到近7点半,道旁又是一座空置的木屋,新疆的天空到9点钟才全黑,拿不准天黑前还能不能遇到木屋,这样的坏天气在泥泞的草地上扎营简直就是一场悲剧。 在木屋里扎营,老米没意见,简单却很不乐意。 简单已经冲到前面很远,被叫回来时满脸的不情愿,她说刚开始兴奋起来,状态正好走的正带劲就叫停当然很不爽。不情不愿的卸下包,简单还舍不得进屋,带着没走满意的无奈表情,独个儿在雨中转悠了几圈又主动提出去河边提水。 简单高高兴兴提着水桶去河边继续过瘾,我和老米燃起篝火,身上的衣服都快烤干,简单还没回来,心中有些惴惴不安,正准备出门找人,简单带着满身水汽闯进来,满脸惊惶地说:“糟糕,迷路了,差点我就回不来了!” 到100米远的地方打水也会迷路?我和老米面面相觑,都有点回不过神来。 细问才弄明白,简单来到坡下的小溪,装满水桶掉头就走,走到一个断崖边才发觉走错了路,既然已经走晕了头,路痴驴肯定弄不明白自己走到了哪里,也弄不明白自己是怎么走到这里来的。呼喊了几声没有回应,简单这下慌了神,提着水桶东奔西跑,却总也走不出山沟,后来糊里糊涂从某个地方钻出来,看到木屋才好不容易摸回来。 “打水后你怎么就没按原路返回呢?”老米觉得不可思议。 “转过身就糊涂了,以为走的就是原路哒,每次都这样,只要我认为方向是正确的,那一定已经弄错了。”简单一脸的无辜,显得很委屈。 老米是第一次领教简单的路痴绝活,很有些后怕,“早知道这样,应该把救生哨给你带在身上,迷路了就吹哨。” “哨子解决不了问,以后简单去打水得给她配个向导。”路痴驴的路痴本色我曾经深刻领教过,已经是有点见惯不惊,不过看到老米对简单的路痴本质认识还不够深刻,忍不住开口提醒他。 经过了这茬,对路痴驴的保护开始形成制度,行进队型严格固定——我开路,老米收队,简单夹在中间。同时明确了三条纪律——绝对不允许简单冲到队伍前面或在队伍后面逗留;行进途中,必须确保简单始终处于我和老米至少一人的视线以内;绝对禁止简单同学的营地活动超过视线范围(嘘嘘除外)。 这才刚出发,简单就给我们来了个下马威,路痴定律随之出炉——只要简单认为是正确的,那一定已经错了。 英俊少年 清晨,雨过天晴,浓雾依然弥漫山谷。 收拾出发已经10点钟,一个哈萨克少年骑马追上我们,超越后却并不远去,就呆在前面三五米的地方慢慢催马前行,英俊少年显得对我们很感兴趣,坐在马背上回转身,眼神直勾勾紧盯着我们。 “甲可思摸。”连摸几遍没有反应,英俊少年马背上回身的姿势仿佛凝固一般,依然是直勾勾的盯着,始终保持在我们前面一点走着,颇有点带路的意味。 其实,沿途的哈萨克牧民虽然冷漠,却总会不由自主流露出对旅游者的浓厚兴趣,虽然长居深山不善交流,脸上总是一副冷漠表情,但身体语言却暴露了他们的内心想法。 通常牧民远远看到我们多半会早早的挺直胸膛,在马背上坐的笔直,经过身边时突然催马加速,快速跑出一段再潇洒的勒马回头张望。 这个英俊少年也不例外,尽管骑在马上就像一尊雕塑,但看得出雕塑对我们的兴趣是相当的浓厚。 死的比活的管用 马道从山坡上切到山谷溪流边,一座木桥横跨溪流,另一条路沿溪流左岸通向山谷深处,“包扎墩,这里?”我指着木桥试探地问少年,少年很快做出回应,使劲的摇着头,再问了一遍,少年还是摇头,还抬手指了指左边的山道。 其实攻略上写的很清楚,过桥是正道,不过,攻略是死的,人是活的。 相信人还是相信攻略,这是个问! 后来回想起来,提出这个问,就已经是脑子被驴踢了的表现。 心里拿不准,指着木桥又问了一遍,少年坚决的摇摇头,催马走上左边山道停下来等我。 少年很执着的等在前面,犹豫了半天跟上少年,爬上草坡,少年脸上绽开了笑容,竟然哼起曲子来,拍着马鞍冲我招招手,示意让我上马。 我回头示意简单,简单很不屑的摇摇头,这下少年兴趣马上发生转移,掉转马头紧随简单身旁行走,眼睛直勾勾的盯着简单,曲子哼的更起劲了。 翻过山坳,浓雾中传出犬吠声声,木屋前几只牧羊犬作势扑咬,一个汉子应声出门喝止。看到我们,汉子显得很激动,手舞足蹈抛出一长串话来,他越激动我心里越拧巴,因为他的汉话太拧巴。 果然,我们走错了路,虽然人是活的攻略是死的,不过这次死的显然比活的更管用。 好不容易逮着个能开口说话的牧人,连忙拉住他询问科克苏河上的溜索。 “不在,没有了。”汉子连连摇头。 “桥?木桥?在不在?” “不在,冲走了!” 汉子的回答让我心里一沉,老米和简单心态很好,“到了河边再说吧。” 汉子叫来一个老汉,指着树林方向,让他带我们抄近路插过去。 光线的诱惑 随着老汉跨过独木桥,翻过山坡,走出树林,眼前豁然开朗,宽阔的斜坡草地一直延向浓雾弥漫的山谷。 告别老汉,顺草坡而下,遮蔽山谷的浓雾仿佛被一只无形的手牵引,大幕般缓缓向上提起,山谷里的草甸、木屋、牛羊从大幕下一点一点显露出来,阳光星星点点洒落草场,沉睡的大地开始苏醒,盎然生机在起伏的山峦间涌动。 由衷的喜悦在心里流淌,我踏露而行,缓步走进慢慢显露的梦幻世界。晨雾的帷幕慢慢拉开,云雾渐渐散去时的光线那么迷人,我和老米像中了魔似地,频频举起相机按下快门。 帷幕吊胃口般走几步就拉开一点点,云雾一点一点的拉开,阳光一点一点的洒落,大脑已经停止了运转被视觉支配着,恍恍惚惚走上几步,就举起相机按下快门,三步一停,五步一顿,一点一点被诱惑着迈动脚步。 这段路程的记忆很模糊,或者当时脑子里本就已经是模糊不清,简直就是一段魔幻的演绎,恍惚中已经不是在行走,似乎化作了一股快乐的溪流,从山坡上缓缓淌进雨后初晴的山谷牧场,就像一个蹩脚的后期剪辑作品,上一个镜头里我还在山坡上面对着茫茫白雾,下一个镜头切过来已经站在仙境般的谷地四处张望。 雾气渐散,阳光一缕一缕穿透云雾,仿佛带着重量般冲坠到山谷草地,草尖上密集的露珠在阳光映射下精灵般熠熠生辉,仙境一样的通透色彩在山谷里流动,清鲜的青草芳香,湿润的泥土气息,伴随着袅袅缥缈的薄雾在草地上飘荡,沁人心脾。 都是迷路惹的祸 几道栅栏挡在面前,牧场上忙碌的妇人走过来指点我们从栅栏低矮处翻进去,刚落地,她的老公从木屋后转出来,热情邀请我们进屋喝茶。扔下背包径直往屋里去,我不敢客气,怕一客气就把机会给客气掉了。 汉子叫卡德拉洪,他一眼瞥见我手里的相机,伸手就把老婆拉到面前,问我:“照相?” 俗话说吃人的嘴软,这样的问话通常也就只是走个过场而已。 卡德拉洪拉着老婆转来转去摆POSE,拍了逆光拍顺光、拍了牧场背景换木屋背景再换牛羊背景,拍完老婆接着拍夫妻照,也是顺光逆光牧场木屋牛羊换着花样来…… 好不容易折腾完,我还惦记着屋子里的热茶,正准备收工往屋里钻,卡德拉洪把手指塞进嘴里打出个响亮的呼哨,一个少年应声从山坡上拍马冲出,黑马少年冲到近前,原来是卡德拉洪二世驾临,于是又是一番排列组合,拍了儿子拍母子,拍了马上拍马下,拍了逆光拍顺光…… 相机装进包之前我环顾四周,忍不住多问了一句:“您,家里还有其他人吗?”卡德拉洪摇摇头把我们迎进木屋。 按规矩进屋之前先洗手,炕桌上很快摆出奶茶、面饼、奶油,卡德拉洪手法熟练的切着熟羊肉。喝着醇香奶茶,嚼着香喷喷的羊肉,清炖羊肉是那样的鲜美,我忍不住说了一句:“都是迷路惹的祸啊!”老米砸吧着嘴连连点头。 山寨版挤奶工,性别优势很明显 天山牧场 不知不觉就在卡德拉洪家里磨蹭了一个多小时,在简单的催促下才不舍作别。 火辣的阳光从湛蓝天空洒落下来,潮湿的草地蒸腾起一团团雾气,紧贴着地面漂浮,像一丛丛白色的火焰在燃烧。 皑皑雪山环绕山谷,峰顶冰雪在阳光下烁烁生辉,绿草如茵铺满大地,牛羊散落在草甸上悠闲的踱步,溪流切开绿草地蜿蜒流淌,潺潺的流水声悦耳动听,天地间透出恬静安详的气息。眼前这一切与脑子里臆想了无数遍的天山牧场竟然分毫不差,一种遥远又熟悉的感觉油然而生,心神安宁,信步缓行,我听得见心脏在舒缓的跳动。 穿行在美丽的山谷,忍不住回头对老米感叹,这一段路大概就是天山牧场的精髓了吧。 灿烂的阳光把坏天气带来的阴郁一扫而光,有了阳光的眷顾,整个山谷焕发出熠熠神彩。阳光也有副作用,自从它出现以后,我们的队伍行走起来就慢的像蜗牛,我和老米走走停停,尽情释放摁下快门的快感。 现在回想起来,似乎从第二天开始,懒散悠游的种子就开始在队伍里萌芽,我和老米首先就已经在阳光、美景面前举手缴械,很默契的把拍照排在了第一位,那些出发前的徒步计划被有意无意的忽略掉。 这些变化很微妙,一门心思追求傻走的简单竟然没有及时感知,也就没有提出抗议,这也无意中助长了我们的歪风邪气。 可怕的是,这些行走中的变化,仅仅只是刚开始。 负重 溪流在山谷流淌,马道穿行溪畔,行走在阳光照耀的青草地,与昨天的雨雾待遇相比,今天简直就是进了天堂。 转过山弯,海拔3660米的包扎墩达坂跃入眼帘,雪山环绕,马道沿着山谷缓慢爬升,走过溪流上的木桥,坡度变陡,队伍开始渐渐拉长。 出发前队伍减少了一个人,负重的压力陡然增加,因为乌孙出山后无法采购的原因,穿越夏特的很多物品不得不全程背负。在乌鲁木齐,背包过秤的结果让我们有点发怵,老米和简单分别是66斤、50斤,背包重量都超过了体重的一半,出发前反复测算的控制重量被大大突破。 虽然每件超重物品都只超了一点点,但汇总起来就很可怕。食品主要由简单采购,按照清单检查时,每种食品的超重理由她都说的很充分——没有小包装、重量估计失误、某样东西特好吃必不可少、某样东西是为某样东西配套必不可少、某样东西是我没考虑到她想到的必不可少……这些理由我统统都能接受,她的一口袋护肤品超计划我也能忍受,她的不锈钢大饭盒纯属多余我咬着牙也忍了,但当她掏出一双沉甸甸的精钢筷子时,直接让我崩溃了,伸手夺过来要扔掉,简单着急的阻拦,“别!这是我家最好的筷子,用很多年了。”后来,每当她掏出这沉甸甸的传家宝吃饭,都会把我给重新刺激一次。 清理半天的结果让我很郁闷,唯一减掉的就是我那把折叠大刀。 组队时对老米的许诺是负重不超过50斤,主要是担心报价太高把他给吓退,毕竟这是他的第一次负重徒步。把人拉进队伍后给他说了实话——不超过55斤,我心里明白这个重量还有不少水分,毕竟我们的公司刚刚组建,业绩压力太大容易把新员工给吓跑。 退出一名队员后报价顺势涨到60斤,通货膨胀的压力在那儿明摆着,所以这次涨价老米很理解。老米这人很重感情,虽然这个重量已经让他心里打鼓晚上睡不安稳,但作为多年老友,他显然不好意思到这个节骨眼上还拆我的吊桥。第一次负重就享受到这样良好的待遇,老米还没出门心里就已经是忐忑不安,在乌鲁木齐称重后更是显得心事重重。 不过两天走下来大伙儿很快从心理和生理上都适应了背负,负重已经不是什么负担。老米只是抱怨背负重量严重影响立片的拍摄操作,这一点我也深受其苦,重压下的右肩右臂频繁抬起,不仅稳定性差,背包带紧勒下还有点呼吸困难,没多久我和老米的右肩就红肿起来,抬手拍立片简直就是煎熬。 心有不甘的扎营 马道在乱石陡坡上延伸,第一次负重爬山老米需要适应节奏,渐渐的落在了后面。 走到下午六点,天气陡变,乌云翻滚着从包扎墩达坂上压下来,天空飘起了雪花,很快雪花变成黄豆大的雹粒噼里啪啦洒下来。 今天的计划是翻过包扎墩达坂扎营,这一路上挥霍了太多时间,按我们的进度估计,爬上达坂正好是天黑时分,下山还需要一两个小时。望着乌云翻滚的达坂,在恶劣的天气里走夜路还是让我有些惴惴不安,不过这么早就停下扎营心里更是不甘,呆望着垭口犹豫不定,回头与追上来的老米商量。 老米毫不犹豫的说安全第一,正好山湾里有个空置的木屋,我顺水推舟安排在木屋里卸包扎营。 这么早就安营扎寨,仍然是老米很高兴,简单很不甘心。在干燥的木屋里烧水做饭,老米满怀憧憬的询问,“我们是不是每天都能住在这样的木屋里?” 午夜,天气好转,如水月光铺满山谷,亮如白昼。 康复治疗 胃病和失眠一直折磨老米多年,体质每况愈下。08年我计划穿越巴丹吉林沙漠,寻伴无果的情况下就开始撺掇老米把他的处男行贡献出来,我的想法一开始就把他给吓着了,头摇的像拨浪鼓。也难怪,从没徒步过,一走就是十多天,而且还是进沙漠,想起来都是灾难,老米死活不从。 无奈之下我借着酒劲就开始给他下猛药,“老米呀,一个男人,这辈子总得做出一两件自己觉得不可能的事情来,当你老了以后可以翻出来在儿子面前炫耀。”这贴药药性太猛,把老米刺激的半宿没睡着,大清早就毅然决然的告诉我,“豁出去了!” 老米壮着胆子到巴丹吉林沙漠里走了11天,顶着狂风暴雨烈日的行走,每天喝着盐碱水,饱一顿饥一顿吃着含沙量很高的饭菜,睡在风吹雨打的帐篷里,老米惊喜地发现困扰多年的胃病和失眠症竟然不治而愈,看到老米从沙漠里回来变得睡觉倍儿香、吃饭倍儿棒、身体倍儿壮、精神头倍儿足,米嫂很是满意。 身体变好后老米消停了两年没再动弹,于是那些老毛病又开始跳出来作怪,身体状况越来越让米嫂感到担心。 今年的天山穿越寻伴依然很困难,无奈中再次打上了老米的主意,在我的反复撺掇和米嫂的坚决支持下,老米终于下定决心再来一次康复治疗。 疗效很神奇,简直就是立竿见影,从走路的第一天开始,老米就变得能吃能睡,晚上躺进睡袋不到半分钟就开始打鼾,失眠症的影子都找不到一点,反倒弄得我在他的鼾声干扰下开始失眠。 旅程还没过半,再次尝到甜头的老米就已经下定决心——以后每年巩固一次疗效。 监护人 温暖的阳光洒进山谷,天气大晴,老米在笔记本上如此记录——第三天,10点30分出发,我们的队伍越来越拖沓。 的确如此,我们的队伍以每天延迟半个小时拔营的速度迅速堕落下去,直到第六天出发时,一看时间竟然已经是中午12点,这才让我们开始悚然警觉。 爬上山坳,宽广的乱石山谷尽头就是包扎墩达坂,达坂上积雪不多,琼库什台村牧民比划的雪深及大腿显然是在吓唬人。 我们没走马道,朝着垭口方向,从谷底径直往上切,草坡爬上去就进入乱石堆,石缝里不时散落着北山羊那硕大的羊角,简单在乱石上轻盈的快速挪动,老米对这样的走法有些不适应,每一步都踩得很稳,渐渐落到后面。 第一天就约定老米收队,负责对简单的保护,如果是平路和下坡路,他的保护做得非常到位,老米做事很是认真严谨,严格贯彻人盯人的对位防守策略,总是寸步不离的把简单跟得很紧,这样严密的保护显得有点矫枉过正,看起来老米似乎不是在担心路痴驴走丢,而是在防止路痴驴一不留神就插翅飞走。 一旦开始爬山老米的保护就变得失控,简单每逢爬山必定会兴奋起来,而且是山势越陡越高兴,海拔越高越兴奋,步子迈得飞快,总是把监护人甩到后面很远,如果是冲垭口,那简直就是出笼的小鸟,不管不顾一个劲往前冲。 对这种一门心思傻走的路痴型特质人群,脱离监护是很危险的举动,于是给她约法三章,爬山时,收队的监护人可以甩,开路的监护人不能超,简单答应的很憋屈,却很守纪律,不越雷池一步。 心理学原理告诉我们,人的思维定势一旦形成,往往就像一个无形的囚笼把自己罩起来,简单就是个典型例子,后来,偶尔因拍照时需要道具让她走到我前面去,她犹豫着看过来的眼神,分明是在怀疑我的提议会不会是个陷阱。 包扎墩达坂 昨天路上来往的牧民还是络绎不绝,到今天却一下子全没了影,空旷的山谷里只有我们仨在孤单的行走。 直到走上达坂下的之字形陡坡,马道上才开始出现积雪和薄冰,马道很好走,严格按照走五十步驻步喘五口气的节奏走路,上升的很快。 快到垭口,横切过一段平路,前方就是垭口,垭口岩石上赫然站着一只黑狗,看到我冒头就作势欲扑狂吠起来,垭口上竟然有劫道的狗?难道新疆的狗都这么霸道?如此牛狗!我对它不由得肃然起敬。 朝着霸占垭口的牛狗就冲了过去,还没等我举起登山杖,黑狗就忙不迭转身奔逃,待我爬上垭口,它已经变成了一个小黑点。 垭口寒风刺骨,放眼望去,碧空如洗,广阔山谷一览无遗,湛蓝的天幕下峰峦叠嶂,雪山屹立连绵不绝,阳光照射在达坂冰川上,反射出耀眼的光芒,我们顶着寒风呆了大半个小时开始下山。在山下又遇到落荒而逃的黑狗,当它消除敌意后,抵近拍照留念 马队的邀请 沿着溪流连下两个陡坡,走进了宽阔草场,草场尽头散落着两座木屋,远远的看到山腰木屋处走出一只马队,很快来到近前。 三男一女一婴五马一声不哼横挡在面前,审视的眼神上下打量,那只收买路钱的黑狗和他们站在一起,有了后台肯定就有底气,黑狗呲牙咧嘴的盯着我。 一声不哼是因为不会说汉话,冷漠是深山里牧民的天性使然,审视是对陌生人好奇。山里的牧民都显得很矜持,不会一见到你就热情起来,他们会仔细观察你的言行,直到决定接受你,不过,即便接受了你,他们看起来仍然很矜持,只能从眼角和嘴角的细微变化看出一点对你的好感来。 老米从后面赶上来把烟递过去,男人们脸上开始有了笑容,抱着孩子的女人开始叽里咕噜的问话。 语言不通,试探着模仿他们拿腔拿调的口气说了几声:“我们,去,科克苏河。”男人们对视一眼,有人点了点头,指了指山下科克苏河的方向,领头的大鼻子汉子拍了拍空马鞍,示意我们可以上马,回头向简单转达了马队的邀请,“不骑,走路更舒服!”简单使劲的摇着头。 马队沿着河谷溪流一溜小跑,在泥泞崎岖的马道上很快走远。午后煮茶休息,这是每天必不可少的内容,通常情况会耽搁一个小时多一点,这一路上的南瓜皮的确有点多三男一女一婴五马挡住去路,别说我不识数,有一匹被挡住了我们试图追着马队走,但两条小溪缠住我们的脚步,马队很快没

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. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for? The pregnant female chirus in migration, probably heading to Heishi Beihu to give birth(
一 2005年我第一次徒步,从哈熊沟到天池,晚上在水磨河边扎营。那时候我还年轻,健若走兽,批鳞带角,行走如风,没帐篷,没睡袋,没防潮垫,一件廉价冲锋衣盖着肚脐眼儿也能凑活一宿。夜里,同帐的驴友呼声震天,我睡不着觉钻出帐篷撒尿,抬头看见满天繁星从远处黑漆漆的雪山后面喷涌而出,在头顶汇聚成河,星光璀璨,如闪烁的原钻,美得让人忘乎所以,尿水洒了一鞋。 早晨,本色大哥指着那座雪山说:那就是博格达峰…… 那时候我对一座冰冷的雪山毫无兴趣。亿万年前,天地玄黄,宇宙洪荒,人类在巨兽横行的冰河时代,仓皇逃离茫茫冰川雪原,在荒芜的冻土和幽深的冰缝前噤若寒蝉,如今退化得没了野蛮的体魄和御寒的皮毛,居然又开始天天梦想着亲近雪山,总让人觉得虚伪可笑。 之后的很多年,我走了很多地方,累了、困了、停下来抬起头,那座雪山总是岿然立在远处,仿佛我故意缠着她,粘着她,一直围着她转。哪怕在城市里,天气好的时候,我堵在外环路上,抬起头,她依然静静的立在天边,对我若即若离,半推半就,搞的我很不淡定。登山界有个说烂的段子,说是有人问登山家希拉里为什么一生登山不止,他说:因为山在那里。这句话很有深意,但是我更喜欢拉条子的版本,他说山确实在那里,但是钱不在那里……。 这两年,我的半月板渐渐开始退化,走碎石路或者下山的时候偶尔的一下刺痛似乎在提醒我,鲜衣怒马,霸气侧漏,纵横江湖的好时光渐渐远去了。夜阑卧听风吹雨的时候,我常常对自己说,是不是该去那座雪山看看了?不管是藏着晦明剑谱还是闯王宝藏,她总该有个让人趋之若鹜的理由罢…… 二 今年端午节,我跟零红蝶穿越恰西-库尔德宁。途中他说,孙老师的博格达后山照片被GTX公司买走了,他很自鸣得意的给那张后来勾引了无数人前往博格达的照片命名为:“三峰并起插云寒”。我告诉他,不管云寒是谁,这个名字都非常之暴力猥亵。对此他很不屑,他说:我拥有的知识岂是你的想象所能及……。于是我识相的闭嘴了,群规第一条:永远不要挑战领队的权威。 坊间记载:零红蝶者,奇人也,脸黑、人瘦,臭屁,喜红衣,好女装,上知天文地理,下懂洗菜煮米,文能识图,武能下厨。携一众疯男癫女,奔走山莽之间,夜宿旷野之下。日行百里不露疲态,帐混数女不越雷池。此君年轻时头顶重发,神似马云,这两年不管脸型还是性格都渐向冯远征的方向一路狂奔去矣。零蝴蝶说,8月博格达五峰连穿,会彻底颠覆你对传统徒步的理解。 于是我不禁又想起孙老师的大作。那张照片上博格达峰在阳光下白雪皑皑,一层薄雾从山脚升起,两个行者眺望远山,画面感十足,宛若幻境。孙老师网名叫米东徒狼,名字狠,但人温和可爱。有次扎营完毕,大家喝了点小酒,就决定歌以助兴。起先孙老师害羞并不愿唱,后来不知道谁唱了首达坂城的姑娘,结果那块硬又平的石头不仅敲开了姑娘的心房,也彻底敲开了孙老师的歌喉,他连唱五首后突然停下来说:小猪,我嗓子马上就要开了……。孙老师跟我说,博格达是要去一次的,哪怕就那么远远的看着她也值得。 不管怎么说,三峰并起插云寒,终于也插得我下定了去博格达的决心。 三 当年傅青主率七剑下天山,拯救天下苍生;练霓裳肝肠寸断,一夜白头独上天山;卓一航,在雪山绝壁苦等优昙花开。武林高手不要脸的地方在于统统无视高反,上天山如上红山,闲庭信步,进退自如。我没有游龙剑也不会凌波微步,临行前还是慎重研究了一下这条纵跃天山的路线:五峰连穿,南起达坂城三个山村,北至白杨河三岔子沟,全程65公里。途径碎石达坂,夜宿登山营地,翻越简单达坂,由于海拔跨度大,草甸、冰川、碎石、河流、雪山、冰湖各种元素一应俱全,好在未来几日显示天气尚佳,穿越难度适中。 我简单评估了一下自己的能力,估计高反应该对我影响不大,但是考虑到膝盖依旧不给力,装备还是谨慎的控制在20kg。除了帐篷、睡袋、防潮垫、冲锋衣裤、抓绒衣裤外,一切从简。提前一天,联系江湖、飞翔、听雨一干吃货共商搭伙做饭之大计,顺带采购了馕、笋子和蘑菇,准备把“将一切线路走成腐败线”的原则贯彻到底。 整装完毕,已是夜半,倒头睡去,梦中又回到那片茫茫雪山,山下练霓裳白发如雪,宛若天仙,她对我说,长相厮守不若相望于江湖,留一点未了之情,彼此相忆吧……,不等我挽留,已飘然离去,消失在雪山之巅。我不禁悲从中来,泪如雨下,高呼:哥唯知徒步,不会登山也!醒来时,枕巾哭湿了一片……。 四 出发当日报有小雨,上车前却一直阳光明媚。夏天、拉条子、老虎,连带天体流两大掌门:南双鱼北不弃,纷纷前来送行,突然感觉如壮士断腕,陡增豪迈之气。和众英雄一一话别后,车一路南行。途径达坂城,江湖采购了些蔬菜和调料,江湖者,笑傲江湖是也,湖哥虽貌似藏民实为回民,次日便是肉孜节,算算江湖已闭关封斋一月有余,任督二脉俱开,体内真气游走,身轻如燕。江湖是有名的强驴,是这次长线的协作,捎带负责照顾两位外地女施主,白天赶路,晚上混帐,不舍昼夜,甚为辛苦。 下午六时许,车至三个山村,众人整装换乘卡车一路向北,小雨终于开始淅淅沥沥的飘下来,车外风大,和尚我被吹得烦躁不堪,挥手猛抽之仍不解恨。柏油路、机耕路都走完,再过几座水泥桥,卡车再无法前行,从这里旅途算正式开始了。第一天行程约5公里,海拔上升400米,算是热身顺带考察体能。零蝴蝶扬言若比他晚至营地20分钟者,斩立决!众驴不敢懈怠,紧随其后,天黑前悉数按时到达2号羊圈扎营。我挑了个上风上水的宝地搭好帐篷,趁着雨还未下大,忙与飞翔、江湖开始做饭。因江湖逢菜必放十三香,大厨资格被弹劾,由飞翔接手。飞翔是恰西就一起走过的大哥,体力虽然不强,但是性格温和,人品一流,厨艺上佳,尤数醋溜菜系堪称一绝。饭毕,风雨渐强,大家各自回帐休息。 夜晚,风雨交加,我扎营时偷懒未绑风绳,地钉扎的也浅,结果半夜大风吹得帐篷左摇右晃,帐内空间瞬间小了一半,我半梦半醒间对形势做了简单分析:一、睁眼看不到天空,说明帐篷还在;二、内帐贴在脸上,想是帐篷八成被吹塌了;三、实在太困,以上两条皆可忽略。遂继续昏昏然睡去矣。 五 次日,风息雨停,帐篷犹在,除了几个挂绳从地钉上脱落之外,还算坚挺。一夜大风之后,空气格外通透,远处的雪山清晰可见。老衲7点半起来开始收整,吃了一碗翔哥煮的奶粉泡馕,昨夜被风雨折磨损耗的功力顿时恢复,丹田一股热浪涌遍全身。9点半准时拔营,沿马道一路上行,今天的行程全程爬升,本来我已经做好了重装爬坡的心理准备,但是真正到背起包,迈开腿的时候,还是觉得有些英雄“气短”,走长线前期的调整和适应很重要,迷失的都市人要走的慢一点,等等自己的灵魂,徒步人则要不时等等自己的肉体,即使灵魂已经飞到了雪山之巅。我放慢速度,调整好步幅,每步都很小,但是不停顿。大约两公里后,我已经超到了零蝴蝶身后。 天山南坡雨水少,草木皆疏,略显荒凉,山里四下静谧,满耳朵都是风声,这是一段相对枯燥的路程,好在雪山就在那里,她让我迈出的每一步都坚定而有目的性。中午在4号羊圈休息,早上一共在山脊上走了8公里。我顺势坐在零蝴蝶旁边休息,他掏出鸡腿和萨其马,然后幽幽的对我说:没有鸡腿的死开,我毫不示弱的掏出牛肉干还以颜色。 搭伙的小伙伴们陆陆续续也到达了休息点,听雨依旧挑选了个大石块立刻躺展,估计是早上的爬升让她不太适应,我看这一路她逢石必躺。听雨是个单纯妹子,体力不算强,但是耐力很好,爱好徒步的女孩都有个共同的特点,就是性格好,这点在听雨身上尤为明显。当初在恰西的泥里蹚了一路,疲惫不堪,走到一个山包,众人指着对面的另外一个山包说,彼处若有人相衬,照相效果必佳,孰愿往?听雨闻言立刻报名,一路狂奔至对面山包,各种瑜伽抛斯摆起……。 听雨妹子热衷于拍跳跃的照片,每次拍之前和尚我都亲自施展轻功示范,但每次照出来的效果仍旧不佳,所以我断言听雨者,不善弹跳。怎料某次我在给听雨拍跳跃照片时,被飞翔抓拍了一张,照片上,这妮子居然高高腾空,姿势甚是轻盈飘逸,方知原来是我不善摄影也,呜呼! 徒步圈的女人分两种,一曰软妹子,一曰女汉子,软妹子全程靠强驴照顾,女汉子全程照顾别人,听雨介于两者之间,勉强算个软汉子吧。但是偶尔的,我神经错乱的那么一刻,会依稀记起赛里木湖边,清晨,第一缕阳光洒在湖畔,听雨站在朝阳下与景色浑然一体,不事雕琢,令人难忘…… 稍事休息,未等听雨把石板趟热,零蝴蝶已经啃罢鸡腿,背包准备出发了。从4号羊圈向左前方走,进入一条布满碎石的山沟,由于海拔的不断上升,草渐渐变得稀少,下午的路线基本就是一条很窄的碎石马道。我左腿膝盖吃不上力,导致右脚脚踝在碎石间很容易扭伤,所以无奈只好再次放慢速度。路线的强度也开始慢慢变大,除了马道渐渐变窄外,爬升也开始了。中途休息,传统穿越租用的马匹从身后超过来,碎石路让他们不堪忍受,马匹可以一直把运行李驮运到登山大本营。 面对眼前爬升200米,角度40度的碎石达坂,这次行程我第一次感觉到了压力。好在经过多年修炼,我已练成了大理延庆太子的绝学“一阳指铁杖神功”,要领是:双杖前探扎地,气聚天府穴,双臂支撑,一步完成。此神功被证明无坡不破,唯一的缺点是速度太慢,没走多久,身后哈密北山羊的几个武林前辈渐渐超过我走在前头。神功未施展几招,抬头发现零蝴蝶居然已经在坡顶俯瞰群驴,一副君临天下之势……。和尚我一想到我堂堂大理皇家御用神功居然不如他零蝴蝶的疯狗式走法,顿时气不打一处来,遂催动内力,手杖扎地犹如捣蒜,一口气爬到坡顶,累的险些一口鲜血喷出,血洒天山……。事后,哈密寒星大哥说,当时我在他身后,犹如狼撵…… 碎石达坂达坂上乃是一道瀑布,冰川融水汇聚于此,奔流直下,甚为壮观。众驴在瀑布顶端休息,我靠在一块巨石上,遥望远方,远处博峰似乎又近了一步…… 七 离开瀑布很快就见到第一个冰湖,8月湖面浮冰已融,湖水寒冷彻骨,湖面不大,但是湖水碧绿,在雄壮雪山的映衬下显得楚楚动人,如果7月前来,这里的湖冰未融,又是另外一番景象。冰湖边有块大石延伸进湖水里,乃是个照相的绝佳地点,众驴纷纷在此留影。此时天色渐阴,湖边风起,让人觉得有些寒意,大家稍作停留便右拐离开冰湖。路程开始变得平缓,但是路况并未有多大好转,依旧是碎石河道,只不过石块更大。如果是丰水年份,河道里是有水和河冰的,今年气温高,冰雪尽融,只剩下一片碎石。冰河的尽头,是一条溪流,今年水小,甚至不用涉水,直接踩在石块上便可过河。 碎石路让我非常崩溃,纵然施展凌波微步也还是感觉小腿发酸,加上登山鞋的鞋带没有系紧,我掐指一算,脚底应该是已经磨出水泡无疑。好在渡河之后,前方的道路一马平川,我继续用狼撵式走法埋头追了两公里,渐渐又回到队伍前列。肩膀酸加脚疼,我开始渐渐有些烦躁起来,翻过一个小山丘,突然发现,博格达峰已经赫然立在眼前……多年前我在西外环路上堵车,远望东南,天片的博格达主峰与浮云连成一体,如海市蜃楼,虚幻缥缈。之后的很多年,一提起缥缈峰灵鹫宫,我脑子里立刻闪现过天边那空中楼阁一般的博峰。我决定,有朝一日,定要直上天山,力克童姥,取了生死符,从此独步江湖…… 如今博峰即在眼前,只是天边流云似铁,雪峰依旧在云端若隐若现,高高在上,丝毫没有因为距离的缩短而放下身段,反而似乎更加遥远威严神秘。我开始有点理解人为什么会在一座雪山面前惊叹、感动、折服、膜拜。人生如梦,白云苍狗,人总要翻过一座属于自己的山峰,你那些曾经的不堪回首、牵肠挂肚、风光荣耀、没落孤寂、生死离别,在他百万年漫长的守望下,犹如沧海一粟,微不足道。似乎翻过山,抛下过往才有勇气再面对漫漫的人生路,因为我知道不论走多远,永远翻不过去的始终是生活。 八 今天夜宿的营地是博格达登山大本营,一块成熟的扎营地,夏季登山协会会在这里训练队员,地势平坦,营地旁有优质的水源,缺点是:遍地碎石,我的帐篷是半自立式的,对于无法扎地钉的露营条件简直是一场噩梦。只好用大石块压住四角固定帐篷,因为无法充分拉伸帐篷空间,双人帐勉强变成了单人帐。江湖当了一天收队,一路基本没怎么休息,体力消耗巨大,几近崩溃,估计有些轻微高反,到营地立好帐篷就钻进去睡了。 我简单考察了一下营地周边环境,营地边上立着白雪小姐的衣冠冢,后面是三个香港山友的墓碑,想想他们魂断博峰,长眠于此,日日望着不远处的雪山峻岭、日升日落,也算不错的归宿吧。营地对面是一个小山包,翻过山包可以看到博格达4、5、1号主峰和山脚下的冰湖,这时候天气已经转阴,山间云山雾罩,三峰不可全见,我坐在湖边的石头上静静等了一个小时,云无散迹,渐渐三峰均隐没于云中。 我走回营地和飞翔一起张罗着做饭,和零红蝶混帐的两个驴友,状况不太好,准备次日和传统穿越的队伍一起从天池下撤。马达把所有吃的悉数贡献出来,飞翔又整了个四菜,大家就在江湖的帐篷里边吃边聊,直至深夜。每次走长线我都很珍惜和众驴友在一起的时光,常有人在群里说这次没机会下次再一起走,我对这种话一般都不太确信,这些年走了好多路,有些朋友相逢一次就再也没见过,浮云一别后,流水十二年,很多东西过了就过了,没有下一次。 帐外突然开始下雨,我们钻出大帐,准备各自休息,眼前的博峰在一片风雨交加的苍茫夜色里显得愈发雄壮…… 九 一夜风雨,白发魔女和天山童姥均未入梦。早起发现帐篷外全是冰碴,又是阳光明媚的一天。朝阳从山间洒向营地,草石皆金,博峰全貌尽显,此时湖面如镜,雪山投影在水中,浮冰闪耀,美不胜收。当年全真教长春子丘处机道长在天山作诗有云:雪岭界天人不到,冰池耀日俗难观,我能看到这雪岭冰池也算不俗了罢。 吃完早餐,跟传统穿越队伍话别之后,众人沿冰湖向南,走上冰川,逐渐向雪山靠近。今天要长距离的冰川行走和翻越雪山,路程强度最大,也最危险。四百多万年前,博格达冰川形成,巨大的冰川推动着山脚下的巨石缓缓移动,犹如流淌着的时光河流,随着冰河时代的结束,全球气温回暖,冰川渐渐消退,留下巨大的绿色岩石。冰川行走的危险在于表面积雪下深不见底的冰裂缝和冰洞,这个季节,冰川上很大一部分积雪已经融化,大的冰缝都暴露出来,危险降低了不少,一早上数公里的行走,居然丝毫没有感觉疲惫。中午,大部队到达简单达坂脚下,在一处有水源的石堆上午餐。 我靠在一块大石头上仰望海拔4160米的简单达坂,看着云从达坂顶上飘过,拖着七彩光晕,不知为何,突然觉得莫名悲伤。当年简单开发五峰连穿路线,越过4160达坂的时候,大概也是意气风发,豪情壮志,如今山未易,人已逝。这两年不管是严冬冬的英逝还是杨春风、饶剑锋的遇难,总让人不禁唏嘘感叹,也惹得争议一片。在这件事上,我总觉得,一个理性的人,只要明白自己追求事情的危险性,能够接受最坏的结果,那么即使倒在追梦的路上也算死得其所,你可以不认同他们的行为,但是必须保持尊重。 十 吃过饭,我简单评估了一下面前4160达坂的难度,坡度陡、爬升高、积雪厚,应该不像它的名字那么简单,外加早上搭伙的小伙伴们说看我有做强驴的潜质,所以把5个气罐全部塞进我的包里这个不利条件,我认为这会儿不是证明自己负重能力的时候,所以果断把两个满罐藏在石头下面,零红蝶说他日后取来私用。减负之后,也许是心理因素,立刻觉得包轻了不少,很快我跟着零又走到了队伍的最前面。但是走到一半,随着坡度的加大,体重大的缺陷也暴露出来,零走在我前面在雪上踩的很浅的脚印,我一踩立刻没至膝盖,我每一步都只能跪着从雪里拔出脚才能迈下一步。身后的“天气”身形小巧轻盈,很快就超在我身前,我侧身一看,她只在雪上留下一串浅浅的脚印,轻功水上漂啊!只恨自己轻功不佳,就这么一步一跪,如朝圣一般,终于爬到了达坂顶端。 眼前无限风光,茫茫冰川向远处延展,右侧是博格达高耸入云的雪峰,天空蓝的发暗,风过身摇,一时间感觉有点轻微的晕厥。那些阴郁的、无奈的、沮丧的、伤感的、愤愤的情绪在这一刻随风而逝。我开始明白人们为什么对一座雪山如此热衷了,当你靠近她的时候,她的纯净、纯洁、纯粹似乎可以净化你的内心…… 也许是有点忘乎所以,下达坂的时候,我掏出防潮垫,准备坐着直接滑下去。这个壮举被零蝴蝶凶狠的制止了。无法控制下滑速度,很可能会掉进冰裂缝或者撞在前方的石头上,纵然我有神功护体刀枪不入,也难免大伤元气,从此退出江湖。 十一队伍在达坂北坡下休息,等后面的队员陆续翻过达坂。喀什来的驴友“飘絮的风”有些高反,翻达坂对他来说是个大考验,飘絮的风背了五六公斤的摄影器材,所以一路很受折磨,但是走在队伍最后的他还是拍下了很多美不胜收的照片,本帖的照片照的好看的均出自他之手,在这顺便感谢飘絮的风。 大概等了一个多小时,队伍再次聚齐。开始漫长的冰川行走,从现在开始,海拔一路下降,这一段冰川的景色异常壮观,博格达2、3、4、1号峰就在身旁,随便停下都可以拍到雪山美景。队伍沿着冰河前行,遇到横切的冰裂缝,冰河便流入冰缝,有的冰缝被冲击成一个冰洞,深不见底,看着慎人。冰川的尽头又是一片乱石路,听雨才走了一小段就扭伤了脚,好在不严重,稍事休息还可以继续。前一天的碎石达坂,让我总结了几条走碎石路的经验:一、多用手杖,二、不要相信任何一块石头,哪怕它看着很大很稳固,三、两只脚同时踩到落脚点了再迈下一步。按照这个方法,虽然还是走的很慢,但是这一段路程我膝盖没有感到不适。 傍晚,在一处地势平坦的冰湖边扎营,远处夕阳斜下,博格达峰被镶上了一层金边。晚饭本来按惯例依旧由飞翔掌勺我打下手,炒了两个菜后,听雨对我和飞翔每个菜都不放辣椒这件事很火大,所以决定亲自下厨。听雨炒菜的风格属于剽悍型,一个菜用三个菜的肉和调料,手法也基本是降龙十八炒加打狗铲法,虽然看似暴力,尝了尝味道居然还不错。这是我们在山里的最后一顿晚餐,大家吃完又聊了很多。聊起了曾经的孟克特、冰川壮美的夏特,繁花开满山谷的环博,细雨绵绵的恰西,风雪漫天的车师……。帐外已是浓浓的夜色,天山上,龙蛇笔走,墨泼南溟…… 十二早起拔营,大家沿着冰湖边一路北行。今天我们就要开始离开博格达峰了,翻过山梁,博峰渐行渐远,我们已经走到了经典的博格达后山,当年孙老师就是在这里拍下了“三峰并起插云寒”的美图。众人也纷纷效仿,只是少了些魔幻的光线和雾气,怎么也没法拍出孙老师那张照片的感觉,好在博峰壮美,随便怎么拍都是美景。 一路下坡。路况也基本是草地和马道,队伍的速度越来越快,中午在绝望坡下的河流边吃完午饭,接下来就是几公里的马路,身后的博峰渐渐隐匿在山间的松林里,前方是无尽的石子路,走得我非常崩溃。我的登山鞋非常不适应在这种道路上行走,所以我放慢速度,和哈密北山羊的几个大哥走在一起,速度和步幅正合适。 远处村落渐现,我知道旅途该结束了,不管你翻过多少山峰,终究还是要面对生活这座高山。这些年我一直问自己,我们为什么活着,是为了活的更长?更富有?走的更远?去更多的地方?我们行走的意义究竟是什么?早些年我看山是山,看水是水,那时候膝盖坚若磐石,大块吃肉大碗喝酒,铁肩担道义,长歌万里行,妄言万水千山走遍。这几年吃了亏,摔了跤,碰了壁,灰头土脸,头破血流,开始变得看山不是山,看水不是水,行走也变得不再单纯,徒步里多了些炫耀、虚荣和自以为是,其实走过多少地方,登过多少山峰并不堪称其为一种资本,不管是腐败、自虐、探险还是玩命,你要寻找的始终还是心里的那片风景,如果不明白这一点,即使走再远也走不出自己的心。可以想象,若干年后我终究会老的再也不能行走,也许膝盖早已置换成了钛合金,以前走过旅程渐渐变成回忆,对此我并不恐慌,因为那时候我也许已经变得宠辱不惊,看山还是山,看水还是水,短锄栽花,长诗佐酒,诗剑年年总忆卿……大合影 最 后 最后说说装备和注意事项,8月博格达山区气温并不算低,所以徒步一般可以穿速干衣裤,遇到风大的山口或者阴天,可以套上冲锋衣御风。考虑到碎石和冰雪路面,全程必须穿高腰登山鞋。有两件事是以前我持怀疑态度,通过这次长线确认的:一是零蝴蝶的长线穿两双袜子的理论,二是零蝴蝶的速干裤外面套冲锋裤的理论,证明都是正确的。 关于睡袋我个人认为10月前上博格达,只要防潮垫给力,G700的羽绒睡袋绰绰有余。 冲锋衣方面我还是坚持我的观点,就是带一件好冲锋衣,就不要带雨披了,虽然群里曾经有高端人士在这个问上跟我有过争论。 最后说说帐篷,博格达五峰连穿除了第一天外,全程营地不适合扎地钉,对于轻量化的半自立帐篷,由于无法用地钉把帐篷完全撑开,所以会损失很多空间,飞溪2在这种环境下只能作为单人帐使用。 负重上,我认为男士控制在20kg以内,女士控制在15kg以内为佳,女汉子视情况而定,至于不离不弃和双鱼这种天体流的负重自然是多多益善。 好了,帖子至此算是完结了,不管你关注与否,走过的路都会成为我们心中的财富,如梦幻、如琥珀,永难忘。 当年万里觅封候,匹马戍梁州。 关河梦断何处,尘暗旧貂裘。 胡未灭,鬓先秋,泪空流。
