Travelers' Tales Tibet is a collection of riveting tales from one of the most controversial and fascinating regions of the earth. Travel with world-renowned writers to this mythic land and enjoy a feast cooked by blowtorch on a high mountain pass, witness an ancient sky burial, rebuild an ancient monastery, make the pilgrimage to Mt. Kailash, work as an extra on a Chinese movie set, and visit the eternal home of the Dalai Lama, the Potala Palace. Travelers' Tales Tibet draws an unforgettable portrait of a magical country, its stunning culture, and unforgettable people.
This book presents many true stories of visits to Tibet. Some are funny, some are cautionary, and some are inspiring. They cover many aspects of the countryside including ancient rituals, pilgrimages, searching for the clouded leopard, and, of course, the Dalai Lama. This isn't a political book. I don't think there needs to be two sides to the story..it consists of many stories-all different. It's a great read and nothing more is needed.
