Day 9. 17.9.07 Shigatse to Shegar 4050 m., 13,287 ft.

A long day's drive brought us to Shegar with 'The Crystal Fort' high over this old town. It was, of course, destroyed by the chinese in the 60s and thus far there has been little attempt at reconstruction.

Phil & I got most of the way to the top, but discretion made us head down for tea a couple of hundred feet from the top
