 A wonderful introduction to the
splendor of the range
of classic Himalayan culture, people and landscape.
Driving through the Tibetan plateau you see the
lushness of the foothills as well as the austerity of
the high altitude desert. Vast open skies frame
dramatic massifs of ice and stone against brown shot
through with occasional green barley and blue water.
There are temples and palace squares with art rich and
varied beyond all imagination, and monasteries where
the air, redolent with the odours of butter lamps and
juniper incense, carries through the wind centuries of
tradition. The fluttering prayer flags everywhere are
the most obvious expression of the spirituality and
faith that permeates every aspect of the lives of
Tibetan Buddhists. In Nepal, the cosmopolitan history
of the Newars of Kathmandu Valley comes alive in the
sophisticated palace squares.
