Question

Silk Road Chapter Highlights........................................................

Answer 1

• The author left Ravu with a gifted long-sleeved sheepskin coat accompanied by Daniel and Tsetan. Tsetan said that the journey would be smooth if there was no snow on the way.
• As they passed by the hills, they could see the lonely drokbas looking after their herds.
• As they passed the drokba tents, their guard dogs, which were Tibetan mastiffs, chased their car for some distance.
• Soon the turns became sharper and bumpier as they climbed.
• The sudden and unexpected fall of snow blocked their way a number of times.
• After passing through the top of the pass, they went down to reach the small town of Hor, on the shore of Lake Manasarovar, by late afternoon.
• It was a grim, miserable place without any vegetation; it only had a lot of accumulated rubbish, dust and rocks. Daniel went back to Lhasa from there. They repaired the puncrured tyres and carried on.
• They reached Darchen at 10:30 PM and found a guesthouse to stay in.
• The author had a very troubled night because of the cold. So the next morning, Tsetan took him to consult a doctor at the Darchen Medical College.
• The doctor gave some medicine and that night he was able to sleep well.
• Tsetan left the author in Darchen and went back with the car to Lhasa.
• As the pilgrim season had not started, the author felt lonely. He was looking for someone who could speak or understand English as well as accompany him to do kora.
• Then he met Norbu, a Tibetan who understood English and was there to do kora at Mount Kailash.
• Both of them decided to go together.
