Walking the Himalayas by Levison Wood

Following in the footsteps of the great explorers, Walking the Himalayas  is Levison Wood's enthralling account of crossing the Himalayas on foot.

His journey of discovery along the path of the ancient trade route of the Silk Road to the forgotten kingdom of Bhutan led him beyond the safety of the tourist trail. T

here lies the real world of the Himalayas, where ex-paratrooper Levison Wood encountered natural disasters, extremists, nomadic goat herders, shamans (and the Dalai Lama) in his 1,700-mile trek across the roof of the world.
