The Journey to Amne Machin

The Journey to Amne Machin

S1 E3: Ryan heads north and leaves the mountains behind as he travels deep in to the high altitude grass-lands of China’s northern Qinghai province. His mission is to circumnavigate the enormous Amne Machin Mountain, once misrepresented as the tallest mountain in the world by early explorers. The entire Amne Machin range is an eastern extension of the Kunlun Mountains, a major mountain system of Asia. The Amne Machin Peak has an elevation estimated at 6,282 meters (20,610 ft.). The journey will take Ryan hundreds of kilometres up and over rolling grasslands at nosebleed altitudes in some of the most hostile elements faced on this journey. Over one hundred years ago it was common to see thousands of pilgrims making the holy pilgrimage around this mountain, but these days only a trickle of visitors can be found. This will be one of the most isolating and lonely experiences of this expedition.
