On the Road to Lhasa, Tibet

This video plots the delegates journey from Shangri-La into T1bet, undercover and without permits.

The journey was supposed to take 3 days - what wasn't factored in was numerouse landslides on the mountain roads, multiple breakdowns and a bus full of crazy locals.

Since this video we left Lhasa and headed off-road to Nepal - delivering 17,000 vitamins into rural T1bet on the way. Our next step is India, and at 50 deg F it's experiencing a heat wave :)

all i can tell you is you followed true local sentiment. screw the permits and regulations. its all about having a hell of a time and getting away, all for the joy of being able to say that you were there and did that without any legal trouble. rock on bro.

His Holiness the REAL Panchen Lama was kidnapped in 1995 at the age of 6 along with the rest of his family.

FREE H.H. the REAL Panchen Lama.

Tibetans are subject to arbitrary arrest and detention

Torture still prevails in Chinese prisons and detention centres

Enforced disappearances, where a person is taken into custody and the details of their detention are not disclosed, continue to occur.

The 11-year-old 11th Panchen Lama has been missing since his status was announced in 1995.

Today, it appears the Chinese are using Tibet as a dumping ground for their, and foreign, nuclear waste.

omg, that was awesome! i want to have an adventure like that! forget the strict tours and western hotels, your trip got to the heart of traveling. my favorite memories are always the ones were things went wrong - i got lost, left behind, and/or no one spoke english, etc. btw, 2:51 who wears a bowtie on a bus?? lol love it, great story
