A synonym for paradise, Shangri-La is one of the most powerful myths of our time, albeit a young one, having made its debut in the 1933 novel,Lost Horizon. This guide – the first on the market – encompasses parts of southwest China, Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, Sikkim and Ladakh, effectively forming a concise guide to the most remote areas of the region with an exploration into the ancient Tibetan Buddhist civilization. Appealing to the adventure traveler or armchair reader who simply wishes to browse and dream, this guide promises to lead them into the glorious reality and breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas.
