About the book
he looks like a man who will stare danger in the face and soak up a lot of pain without complaint.' The Times Following in the footsteps of the great explorers, this 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. There 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. This is a tale of courage, stamina and the kindness of strangers that will appeal to the adventurer in us all.
