Road trip to Tibet , Day 9---Hell?

Last night ,we discuss something for a long time, from dinner discuss to mid-night .

What we discussing ? If you focus on my post before , you should know I am join a small group to Tibet , normally , the schedule was set up , should not allow to change.

But during these days, we develop a friendship with each other from strangers, and our leader said he want to go to Medog(墨脱)---the only one city didn't connect traffic way in China.

We also ever heard about this place ,and we all forward it . Why ? Cause we always see it in some hiking post , the hiking road to Medog is dangerous .

First , there always have mud-rock flow, second ,the hiking road is in the ancient forest , there is many leech anywhere, when it touch you , it will fasten on you and suck your blood ! So scare !!!(I don't want to put the leech's photo here , because they are so horrible, if you are interest ,please search on website.)

So we though , if our leader want to drive to there , we must follow , then we don't need to walk through the leech forest ! And if we won't go this time , maybe we won't go forever.

Our leader is under a travel company , he can't decide to change the schedule by his will ,so we persuade him for a long time ! In these days ,we never so united like today.

In order to avoid our leader change his mind , we wake up early in the morning ,the hotel under a strong fog .

Medog with a special weather , we drive from Bome(波密) to Medog, it will go through a tunnel, before the tunnel ,the weather can be snowing, but once pass the tunnel , you can find a tropical rain forest !

Below video is which we took before through the tunnel , the mountains are Himalayas.

And once go through the tunnel , the view like below , a forest with strong fog.

On these road , is difficult to find a resident house, and we found one and stop here for a rest .

They sell the ganoderma like selling the vegetable . as I know ,the ganodermas are very expensive , they have so many store .

The road to Medog is very dangerous, if raining ,there maybe cause med-rock flow, even not raining, the road also dangerous. It have another name called "the death road ". please see below video.

Although the road is dangerous, but because that , Medog keep it's ancient forest , we can take some good shot during the trip .

We arrive a small village , which far away from any other village, we just can stay here for lunch , otherwise , maybe we just can have dinner direct when arrive Medog.

There houses in special style , and the village under strong fog.

Their life are very peace, some of them have a small shop , selling their vegetable or some fruit ,or other food, they don't care does anyone will buy it , they just do anything they want to do .

There have many banana trees, the tours like to buy some banana here , said tasty .

Drive for around 7 hours ?I forgot , I just remember a long time , but not a long distance ,we finally arrive Medog.

In my previous imagine , no traffic road connect Medog , that should be means Medog is an ancient town, keep an old life style , but when arrive ,found that there just like the normal town.

Although that , I still enjoy the process for drive through "the death road" , we finish a gold in my list .

Below picture is somewhere in Medog, the mountain is surrounded by a river , and on top of it , there is a village , how a magical place.

At night , our 5 people live in one room , that seems come back to school time , living in the dormitory.

This is a famous food in Medog , called Chicken stone pot (石锅鸡), it use a stone pot to cook the food, inside of cause with chicken , expect that , also have some medicinal materials.

And we also buy some food for snack, play games, a funny night .
