Kailash: Impression and Expressions

Kailash and Manasarovar or KangRinpoche and Mapam Tso, as they are respectively and respectfully known in Tibet, have been known to Indian traders for several centuries. Why do people go to Manasarovar? Historians and geologists go for research. Botanists and onithologists go for documentation. The youth go for adventre. The religious go on pilgrimage. The objects may differ but the common thread is that each person goes to find time for himself where he can listen to himself, motivate and transform himself. The present study is about authors trekking experiences in the KailashManasarovar region along the LhasaKarakoram highway in Tibets Ali Province. It is an adventure documentation written for an advanced amateur trekker. Thirtyeight beautiful colour photographs enhance the value of this comprehensive work.
