Description
Levison Wood's epic journey across the Himalayas is a tale of courage and discovery. In Walking the Himalayas, he recounts his 1,700-mile trek along the ancient Silk Road trade route to the forgotten kingdom of Bhutan.
As an ex-paratrooper, Levison Wood faced numerous challenges on his trek, from natural disasters to encounters with nomadic goat herders and shamans. His journey took him beyond the safety of the tourist trail, into the real world of the Himalayas.
This account of his adventure is a testament to the kindness of strangers and the human spirit's capacity for endurance and resilience. A gripping narrative that will appeal to anyone who has ever been drawn to the thrill of exploration.
