**TOP TEN BESTSELLER** 'I would rather read Colin Thubron than any
other travel writer alive' John Simpson Mount Kailas is the most
sacred of the world's mountains - holy to one fifth of humanity.
Isolated beyond the central Himalayas, its summit has never been
scaled, but for centuries the mountain has been ritually circled by
Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. Colin Thubron joins these pilgrims,
after an arduous trek from Nepal, through the high passes of Tibet,
to the magical lakes beneath the slopes of Kailas itself. He talks
to secluded villagers and to monks in their decaying monasteries;
he tells the stories of exiles and of eccentric explorers from the
West. Yet he is also walking on a pilgrimage of his own. Having
recently witnessed the death of the last of his family, his trek
around the great mountain awakes an inner landscape of love and
grief, restoring precious fragments of his own past.
