About The Book

This is the account of a journey to the dazzling Tibetan plateau of Dolpo in the high Himalayas. In 1973 Matthiessen made the 250-mile trek to Dolpo, as part of an expedition to study wild blue sheep. 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. He was also searching for a glimpse of a snow leopard, a creature so rarely spotted as to be almost mythical.

Editorial Reviews

"A beautiful book, and worthy of the mountains he is among"-- Paul Theroux

"What began as a practical search for the rare snow leopard, revered Buddhist emblem, developed into a quest for the meaning of Being. An enjoyable combination of mountaineering and mysticism"* Observer *

"It's a tale of an inner struggle for calm, and would be an inspiring and sustaining desert island companion"-- Emily Barr

"As much the chronicle of an inner journey as it is the learned recording of an unfamiliar territory...a timeless account" * Independent * "An evocative account of a remote and timeless place and its people" * Sunday Times *
