After consideration of the factors mentioned last time, and a couple of sessions with Google Maps and Google Earth (one initiated by a friend of mine (thanks Paula)); I decided that Mount Kailash really was not a sensible option to pursue. I have looked at other alternatives, closer in to Xining, that do not require special permits; cost considerably less; and can be paid for on a more convenient schedule. This does look like the way to go. All this will be in Qinghai province.
The other thing I have done is to fix an end point for my trip, in order to be able to book my return airflight using my Airmiles. So my trip will end on the 5th September next year.
So now I have got the beginning and end of my proposed trip sort of arranged, or in the process of being booked. All I have to do now is determine what I want to do on the trip.
