Description
Colin Thubron's journey to Mount Kailas is a story of spiritual quest and personal transformation. After an arduous trek through the high passes of Tibet, he joins Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims in their ritual circumnavigation of the sacred mountain.
The author talks to secluded villagers and monks in their decaying monasteries, sharing stories of exiles and eccentric explorers from the West. Yet Thubron is also walking on a pilgrimage of his own, one that awakens an inner landscape of love and grief following the recent loss of his family.
This poignant and introspective travelogue explores the intersection of nature, spirituality, and human experience in the majestic landscapes of Tibet.
