In To a Mountain in Tibet Colin Thubron undertakes a very personal and reflective journey to the sacred Mount Kailas, joining Buddhist and Hindu pilgrims on an arduous trek from Nepal, through the high passes of Tibet, to the magical lakes beneath the holy slopes of the mountain.

Thubron’s sympathetic intuition and the force of his descriptions are in evidence as he talks to secluded villagers and to monks in their decaying monasteries, telling stories of exiles and eccentric Western explorers. Yet there is another dimension to the author’s pilgrimage. Thubron recently witnessed the death of the last of his family and his experience awakes an inner landscape of solitude, love and grief that helps restore precious fragments of his own origins.
