This is the account of a journey to the dazzling Tibetan plateau of Dolpo in the high Himalayas. It was an arduous, sometimes dangerous, physical endeavour: exertion, blisters, blizzards, endless negotiations with sherpas, quaking cold.But it was also a 'journey of the heart' - amongst the beauty and indifference of the mountains Matthiessen was searching for solace. In 1973 Matthiessen made the 250-mile trek to Dolpo, as part of an expedition to study wild blue sheep.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD MABEY'A beautiful book, and worthy of the mountains he is among' Paul Theroux He was also searching for a glimpse of a snow leopard, a creature so rarely spotted as to be almost mythical.
