Michael Palin | Himalaya

This product is second hand.
  • Himalaya by Michael Palin is a vivid account of an extraordinary six-month journey along the full length of the world's greatest mountain range. After tackling seas, poles and deserts, Palin turns to the Himalayas, travelling through a remarkable succession of landscapes and cultures. His route takes him through the Khyber Pass and the hidden valleys of the Hindu Kush, into ancient cities such as Peshawar and Lahore, and towards the spectacular regions dominated by K2, Annapurna and Everest.

    Reaching altitudes of around 17,500 feet, Palin encounters some of the world's deepest gorges and travels through politically sensitive regions as well as remote communities rarely encountered by outsiders. From Pakistan and Nepal to Tibet, Bhutan and the Brahmaputra delta in Bangladesh, his journey combines spectacular geography with an engaging portrait of the people who inhabit these extraordinary landscapes. Illustrated with photography by Basil Pao, Himalaya combines adventure, cultural observation and Palin's characteristic humour and curiosity to create an absorbing piece of modern travel writing.
