Little Chinese Everywhere2024-07-2021 min

I am riding to the disputed McMahon Line near India. The city I am heading to is called Motuo (Medog) and is one of the most isolated places in China. At the same time it is also the most tropical Tibetan city because of it's low altitude, therefore I am literally riding from winter to summer due to the differences in altitude. Around half of the year the city is not reachable due to the heavy snow blocking the road.Join me on this adventure close to the Indian border.
