The book is a travelogue with a difference. It is not devoid of practical details concerning items to be carried by the traveller or the manner in which government and non-government agencies can help him. But essentially it is an odyssey of spiritual wanderings intermingled with geography, history, tradition and an enduring sense of faith and belief.
Some of the photographs are truly fetching and are characterized by professional finesse. A highly recommended reading for potential travellers and even for arm-chair pilgrims who will be inspired by its evocatively devotional content.

I had the pleasure of reading this excellent book. The narration is superb, splendid, vivid and frank; it is poetry par excellence.

I just finished reading the book and actually feel I ought to start it all over again. It made a huge impression on me. Both the descriptions of place and the mystical experiences. Absolutely wonderful. I don't suppose I shall ever go there but I shall not forget the author's evocation of it. Not to mention his superb photographs. I am totally entranced, especially by his experiences that includes his strange near death dream.

A great book on the topic. This is a quality book on the topic. It addresses the math behind the number in clear enough language that it can be understood. I use this book regularly in my work.

If you have always wanted to know what travelling in Tibet is like, then this book is for you. Wendy Teasdill takes you with her as she travels from Lhasa to Mount Kailash in western Tibet. Written in an anecdotal form, it takes you on a journey of several hundred kilometers. You will be right along with her when she camps out under the stars, haggles for a ride, fords ice-cold rivers, stares at the mountain in awestruck wonder or enjoys a cup of tibetan tea in a yak-hair tent. A humourous, realistic account of travelling in Tibet, this book is a delight! You will enjoy the journey, whether is a means of re-living your own journey, as it was for me, or whether it one you intend to make or even if you choose to be an arm-chair traveller. Enjoy the trek!
