What will we turn to when we go to Ganrinpoche to turn the mountain?

After watching the movie Gon Rinpoche three years ago, I set up a flag: I want to take a trip to Gon Rinpoche Mountain. From then on, I began to pay attention to Gon Rinpoche's strategy of turning mountains, and secretly gasped: Gon Rinpoche's turning mountains is too difficult.

The first challenge of climbing a mountain is high altitude. The starting point of turning the mountain is Tarqin Town, with an altitude of 4,675 meters, and the highest point is Lashankou, Zhuo Ma, with an average altitude of more than 5,000 meters. In Lashankou, Zhuo Ma, the oxygen content in the air is less than 50% of that in the plain, which is a challenge to the physical and psychological limits.

The second challenge of climbing the mountain is long-distance mountain hiking. The whole journey is about 54 kilometers, more than Malasson. It is a challenge to the limit of human body to travel long distances in plateau mountains.

In order to adapt to the high altitude as soon as possible, the three of us arrived at Lhasa Gongga Airport non-stop, directly passing through Shigatse (3,700 meters above sea level), Everest Base Camp (5,200 meters above sea level) and Zhongba County (4,772 meters above sea level), and it took four days to reach Tarqin (4,675 meters above sea level) to adapt to the high altitude. This is a painful process.

In order to adapt to long-distance hiking, I started targeted long-distance hiking and mountaineering training three months before departure. These trainings have brought about the improvement of physical fitness and are of great help to adapt to the plateau environment as soon as possible.

For millions of years, during the intense uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Qi Bo, Ren Gang was affected by faults in the east-west, northwest and northeast directions, forming a mountain range similar to a horizontal triangle, that is, the famous pyramid structure, which is unique among many snow peaks in Tibet. Wanfu Street facing the sun is like a ladder to the sky.

The mountain is not high, and Gangrinboqi is 6656 meters above sea level. Its unique pyramid structure has been recognized as the center of the world by Tibetan Yongzhong Bonism (the most primitive religion in Tibet), Tibetan Buddhism, Jainism in ancient India and Hinduism. Gangrinboqi is a sacred mountain recognized by the world, and its reputation exceeds the highest Mount Everest in the world, which is my exclusive.

Mysticists believe that Gangrinpoche is the central point connecting supernatural regions in the world, such as the pyramids of Egypt and the Bermuda Triangle. It is also said that Gangrinboqi's energy field is particularly strong, and one day in Gangrinboqi is equivalent to one month in the outside world, on the grounds that people's nails and hair will grow very fast here, which is quite a fairy tale of a day in the mountains and a century on earth.

There are many strategies about Gang Rinpoche's mountain climbing on the Internet. The general consensus is that a person who can run a marathon at a normal speed can basically run the outer race in one day, which takes about ten hours, if altitude sickness is not serious. Many young Tibetans can reach this level.

A two-day classic tour is usually recommended. About a day in advance, I spent the night in Tarchin. Depart from Tarqin on the first morning, walk to Zhire Temple about 20 kilometers, and spend the night in Zhire Temple or a nearby homestay. The next morning, I set out from Zhire Temple, crossed the Zhuomala Pass at an altitude of 5,665 meters, and returned to Tarqin, with a distance of about 34 kilometers. The next day's journey was long and difficult, and it was the most testing moment. This trip can be used for tourists who usually insist on regular exercise and have good physical fitness and are not serious, as well as some Tibetan elderly people.

The epic journey is to kowtow for a long time, kowtow for a long time in three steps, and measure the whole journey with your body. This is the most respected trip, and it will take about 15~ 16 days. They usually have specialized logistics support personnel. Near these kowtowers, we can find simple tents for the night.

Our Tibetan driver Lausanne has climbed the mountain for the fourth time. He recommended to me the usual two-day trip over the mountains for Tibetans: starting from Zhongba county or other places on the first day, usually arriving in Tarqin at noon or afternoon. Put the car away and start it. With their feet, they can reach the heat prevention temple at night. The next day, we started from Zhire Temple before dawn, crossed Lashan Pass in Zhuo Ma, returned to Tarqin in the afternoon, picked up the car, and stayed in a nearby county. They think that the accommodation in Tarqin is not as good as that in the nearby county, and the consumption is relatively high. Of course, I know about Tibetan feet, which are only suitable for looking up. Their itinerary is not suitable for copying.

I went to Tarqin during the National Day holiday this year. The town is crowded with passengers. Finally, we only found a bed in a guest house run by Tibetans. Tibetan homestays have a common feature: short quilts and tall students will suffer more. The midnight temperature in Tarqin in October was below zero, and this short quilt kept me awake all night.

The greatest advantage of living in Tarchin is that you can see the towering Gon B?rge Ring in the street. Look at the red morning light shining directly on the holy mountain, which is the legendary Rizhao Jinshan. God let us see this miracle, which indicates that we will have good luck today. This sunny golden mountain makes everyone full of energy.

Passing through the prayer flags square, I saw Tibetans who turned to the mountains in droves for pilgrimage. The problem of worrying about getting lost naturally does not exist, so you can't go wrong along the direction of people flow. The Tibetans who turned to the mountains came from all parts of Tibet and Tibetan areas in Yunnan, Sichuan and Qinghai provinces. We, the tourists who cross the mountains and mountains, are obviously a minority, and naturally become the targets of Tibetans who cross the mountains and mountains for help. I feel that I have participated in their pilgrimage.

The feet of Tibetans are too fast. Along the way, men, women and children talked to me for a few days and left. I feel that this is clearly a new race between the tortoise and the hare. They are awake and diligent rabbits, and I am a persistent tortoise.

It is commendable that most of the post stations on the way up the mountain have been transformed and the facilities are good. The post stations are all Tibetan, with chairs and beds (for overnight use), hot water and instant noodles, and some also provide fried rice with eggs. In particular, the hot fried rice with eggs is really fragrant to mountain climbers and is the gospel of supplementing energy. The only thing to vomit is that although the price of butter tea in the station is not expensive, the butter is obviously less than that in the town, leaving almost only the taste of tea.

The afternoon sun is very fierce, and it reflects white light on the stone road that turns the mountain, which is a bit dazzling. Gon Rinpoche has been standing majestically on my right hand, as if urging me not to be lazy. I quickened my pace. Depart at eight o'clock in the morning and walk to about four thirty in the afternoon. I really walked to the Ganrinpoche Hotel opposite the Rere Temple-faster than expected. This hour is a bit awkward. If we continue to cross Lashankou and go to the next campsite in Zhuo Ma, it is obviously impossible to walk the most difficult mountain road 14 km in the dark, so we have to rest on the spot. The altitude here is 5080 meters. I live on the second floor of the hotel, and my asthma is obvious when I go up and down the stairs.

We set off at eight o'clock the next morning. I heard that some tourists can't stand the torture of high altitude and are ready to retreat. I stayed up all night because of the high altitude, but I didn't want to leave a way out for myself.

There is a 4-kilometer stone road from Zhire Temple to Tianzang Terrace. The slope is obviously increased, and the number of times I stop and rest is also obviously increased. The new problem I encountered was that the bicycle hood I was wearing was too thin to stop the mountain wind that was too fierce and cold in the morning. The cold wind blew straight into my nostrils, making my nose stuffy and I had to use my mouth to help me breathe. My throat is also very cold and very painful. Look back at the Tibetans around them. They either wear thick cotton masks or thick cloth masks to protect their noses from the cold. Obviously they are all old drivers.

About an hour and a half later, I walked to the celestial burial platform. I found a campsite here, which is not shown on the online raiders map, and it is obviously newly built. I think this is the best camping spot on the first day of the trip, whether it is time distribution or physical distribution.

Gangrinboqi celestial burial platform is the highest in the world. This is the closest place to the sky. For Tibetans, going to Gangrinboqi to turn to the mountains is not only their path of practice, but also their dream destination. Like grandpa Yang Pei who died in the movie Gangrinpoche, he was very happy. Near the celestial burial platform, there are many old photos, clothes and objects, which are the relics of deceased relatives and friends brought by the Tibetans in Zhuanshan. Leaving these items here can help them ascend to heaven quickly.

After the celestial burial platform, I will face the steepest 4 kilometers in front of the mountain pass and the highest 4 kilometers above sea level. Here, I violated an important principle: fill the kettle at every supply point.

The altitude is getting higher and higher, and it is more and more difficult to breathe. I stop to have a rest every ten steps. Many passing Tibetans asked me if I needed help and oxygen, but I declined. When I struggled to climb a big step, a Tibetan silently held out strong hands behind me and lifted me up.

From here, there are some interesting scenic spots in Gangrinboqi, so that people who turn to the mountains can relax. Every kilometer or so, there are different brands, such as "read good words and say evil", "honor parents" and "swear to avoid evil".

For example, "seeing good words and evil deeds" is a small gap between several big stones. If you can get through, you are a good man. Strong people should try carefully, otherwise the consequences will make you unclear.

The point of filial piety is a small hole behind a stone, which needs to be touched at one time. For filial piety, it is quite difficult to insert the index finger into the hole. Although I am watching it with the mentality of eating melons, Tibetans are very pious in doing it.

After walking for three hours, I finally climbed the Zhuomala Pass at an altitude of 5660 meters. Before climbing the mountain, I imagined a hundred ways to celebrate that I climbed the mountain pass. However, when I actually climbed Lashankou in Zhuo Ma, I just subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, because I knew there was still a long way to go.

At the mountain pass, I hung the prayer flag from the back of the foot of the mountain, wishing myself and my relatives and friends peace and good luck, and wishing the world a better peace.

Some people say that leaving personal belongings at the mountain pass means saying goodbye to the past and welcoming a new life. In order to protect the environment, I left some hair at the mountain pass.

At the mountain pass, two Tibetan sisters insisted on giving me a piece of oil. This is the best oil cake I have ever eaten.

The time points to noon 12: 30, and the sun is shining. Starting from the mountain pass, there are still 26 kilometers to go, so we should continue on our way. Then I sadly found that the kettle was empty. The fruit I grow can only be eaten by myself. I went down the mountain in the hot sun without drinking water.

An hour and a half later, I arrived at the first campsite in Houshan. I am very thirsty. The good news is that in Houshan, in the middle of every fixed supply point on the original map, a Tibetan teahouse has been opened in recent years to rest. But in any case, from now on, no matter where I go, I will fill the kettle.

The scenery of the back mountain is extremely monotonous, and the journey of the back mountain is extremely long. But in the process of climbing the mountain, I realized my undivided attention. No matter how difficult the road is, we should take every step in a down-to-earth manner.

When we passed the Zuzu Temple, the sun was about to set. I met two girls I met in Dingding: one is from Shanghai and the other is from Fujian. It's very cold.

It's getting dark This is a cliff road by the river. On the way, I only heard the sound of water rushing under the extremely dark mountain road on the left. I took out my headlights. Two girls walked slowly in front of the headlight irradiation area, chatting about shooting the starry sky on the celestial burial platform last night. Another girl chased me like the wind, accosted them and wanted to move forward together.

Another hour passed and the road became more dangerous and difficult. Everyone began to disagree on the way forward. The girl chasing the wind began to ask my route, looking at my mobile phone map and the direction of the compass. I didn't know until now that I "picked up" three girls whose mobile phones and flashlights were dead. It was the light of my headlights that brought everyone together. This is three bold girls crossing the mountains alone.

It's already ten o'clock in the evening when I get back to town. One girl said that I was sent by heaven to save them, and another girl said that we had forged a "lifelong friendship" along the way, and the girl who chased the wind had disappeared without a trace. After a cold mountain breeze all day, my throat was almost hoarse. Only the old genius knows how I persisted in walking the whole course.

In the process of turning mountains, I randomly asked the people who turned mountains a question: "What is the reason why everyone went to Gangrenboqi to turn mountains?"

"Be sure to pray for your family, pray for the world, and don't fight."

"I am happy for all beings in the world."

"I made a lot of mistakes while driving and killed a lot of bugs."

"Eat more now and eat less in the next life."

"We are climbing mountains, not hiking."

"Go back and talk to your son, it's awesome!"

……

Some experiences and lessons:

1, most of the online mountain climbing strategies are aimed at autumn, winter and summer. In June 5438+10, the temperature in Gangrenboqi was low and the mountain wind was strong in the morning and evening. Wear a thick cotton mask or wind shield (Tarqin Town has it). Because the nose didn't have enough cold protection equipment, I got serious sinusitis after turning to the mountain. This is another story.

2. According to the two-day hiking trip and the latest construction of the campsite, the best overnight campsite on the first day should be moved from the traditional summer temple to the celestial burial platform. On the first day, I was physically fit, so I could travel more and arrive at the campsite before dark. A more appropriate time can reduce the burden of the next day.

3. It is best to book a hotel with better conditions in advance for the accommodation in Tarqin, so as to have better rest conditions before and after climbing the mountain.
