The author presents here a fascinating story of adventure and exploration in the secret land of Tibet. It unfolds the tales of its serenity and virgin beauty that fuelled the myth of a Shangri la nestled within the worlds highest mountain ranges and characterized by a simple self sufficient life and glorious religious pageantry. In these pages, all levels of Tibetan society come to life, from lavishly dressed nobility to sheepskin clad nomads, from monks performing ritual dances to peasant ploughing with yaks. The work captures the forbidden land in its time of splendour, a fascinating look at a people who were once almost totally removed from the modern world. Through his engaging style the author lets us share the mystery, humour and inspiration as he offers an intimate view of Tibetan life, art, spiritual practices and sacred places.
