Home to mythical kingdoms, wars & expeditions, & strange & magical beasts, the Himalayas have always loomed tall in our imagination.

These mountains, home to Buddhists, Bonpos, Jains, Muslims, Hindus, shamans & animists, to name only a few, are a place of pilgrimage & dreams, revelation & war, massacre & invasion, but also peace & unutterable calm. They are a central hub of the world’s religion, as well as a climber’s challenge & a traveler’s dream.

In an exploration of the region's seismic history, Robert Twigger, author of Red Nile & Angry White Pyjamas, unravels some of these seemingly disparate journeys & the unexpected links between them.

Following a winding path across the Himalayas to its physical end in Nagaland on the Indian-Burmese border, Twigger encounters incredible stories from a unique cast of mountaineers & mystics, pundits & prophets. The result is a sweeping, enthralling & surprising journey through the history of the world's greatest mountain range.
