This is a book about an inner journey, not an adventure in a conventional sense, but a journey of discovery nonetheless, told against a background of the sublime beauty of the Himalayas and of the gentle people who inhabit the foothills of Nepal. (Sir Chris Bonington CBE, one of the world's leading mountaineers) With disarming honesty, Angela Locke has captured the rollercoaster of emotions that is a first visit to Nepal, the fears and fascination; for her the beginning of a journey of enlightenment, and a new mission. (Stephen Goodwin, Editor:The Alpine Journal)
