Narrates a breathtaking journey into the inner basin of the eastern Nepal Himalayas and the ancient Tibetan villages there. This journey was inspired by historic Tibet-expedition of Pandit Sarat Chandra Das in the nineteenth century. It retraces and reimagines the ancient and modern routes, and maps the socio-cultural spectrum of Indo-Tibetan confluences. The description of traditional pathways to the north-western base camp of Kanchenjunga and the sublime experience at Pangpema give this journey a unique dimension. The dangerous trails, the sublimity of the mountains, the gomphas, the soulful music of life in the remote Himalayas make this a book to be cherished.
