Nice to hear some details about the area. But you're probably kicking yourself for departing for Aksai Chin before reading this post. You would have saved yourself a lot of time and trouble, by choosing to head off to the replica instead. You could have walked through Aksai Chin in an afternoon without even breaking a sweat. On the other hand, perhaps the hard work of biking through the non-virtual landscape had its benefits, too.

Maybe you can post some placemarks + photos in the Travel forum when you're ready.
