Walking to the Mountain: A Pilgrimage to Tibet's Holy Mount Kailash

Rating:
Summary: A taste of Tibet
Review: 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!
