What an exciting journey! My brother-in-Law's wife's jeep fell into one of those ravines on one of their trips to Tibet. Took hours to get them up to the road and then to hospital.

It's not a journey for the faint hearted but must be exciting.

wah.... they are real lucky that they survive! to drive in this road, the driver must be very very very careful, that is y we employed a driver instead of driving on our own, then we can concentrate on photos taking, cant do both at the same time.
