Tagong – prava zima na 3900 metrih, Kitajska

Tagong ali Lhagang, 3900 metrov nad morjem visoko ležeče mestece, je bil naša prva prava destinacija na poti po Tibetanski planoti. Mestece, polno prahu in v našem času ne prav prijetnega vremena in temperatur, ponuja ogromno stvari, ki za nekaj dni zamotijo še tako razvajenega popotnika. Le prenočišč in hotelov je bolj malo in še tisti so precej preprosti. Naš, ki je bil sicer prav idiličen na prvi pogled, je bil sicer z okni, a stekla okna še niso videla. Prek okna je bilo napeto le blago, ki je le simbolično kljubovalo zunanjim, precej nizkim temperaturam. In če je bilo vreme prva dva dneva še kolikor toliko OK, pa nas je tretji dan po esktremno mrzli noči presenetil še sneg. In ker je bila Ana zaradi vnetih sinusov prikovana v posteljo, je bilo raziskovanje mesteca v domeni le moškega dela ekipe. 🙂

Tagong or Lhagang, 3900 meters above sea level,was our first destination on our journey on the Tibetan plateau. Town, full of dust and in our time with not very pleasant weather and temperatures, offers a lot of things even for spoiled travelers. There are couple of hotels and places where you can eat but they are all very basic. Our small guesthouse was lovely at the first sight, but it had one issue. There were windows but unfortunately without glass – only some linen on them that were primarily just for decoration. And because of that it was freezing in our room at night.  First two days the weather was OK, but on the third we got extremely low temperatures and fresh snow. And because Ana was ill, me and Jaka had to explore this tiny town on our own. 🙂
