Kham then and now. A photoblog showing how eastern Tibet looked in the 1920s and how the same places and people look now. Based on the explorations of botanist Joseph Rock.

Mules at Gongga Shan monastery, Oct 2013
This guyd had brought a group of Chinese trekkers in on day one. They only stayed a couple of hours and then buggered off back down to Tsemi because of the poor weather - can't say I blame them!
Dr Joseph Rock was an Austrian-American botanist who explored the Tibetan borderlands of Sichuan and Yunnan in the 1920s and 30s. This is about my travels to revisit the places he described in the National Geographic magazine. Any questions? contact me at beijingweek AT gmail
