Description

Erika Fatland's ambitious travelogue takes readers on a vivid and dizzying expedition through the Himalayas, spanning over 2,000 kilometres across Pakistan, India, Bhutan, Nepal, and China. As she weaves together the politics, geography, astrology, theology, and ecology of this vast region, she introduces us to the people she meets, with a particular focus on the women, and explores the most volatile human conflicts of our times.

Through her unique gift for listening and storytelling, Fatland skillfully navigates the complex landscapes and dramatic histories of this region, where modernity and tradition collide, and great powers fight for influence. With its rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and ancient beliefs, this book is a fascinating exploration of the human experience.
