Kailash

Some journeys are made to discover new places. Others are made to rediscover oneself. The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra does both. This book follows one pilgrimage from India through Nepal into Tibet, across the great plateau to the sacred lake of Manasarovar, and around the holy mountain itself. It is a travel companion and a memoir together. It carries the geography and the weather, the towns and the food, the history and the four faiths, and the honest practical detail that a future pilgrim needs. It is written in the hope that it will encourage you to go.
