In To a Mountain in Tibet, Colin Thubron reached Kailas on foot along the Karnali River, the highest source of the Ganges. Combing travel book and memoir, Thubron leads the reader into a desperately wild and beautiful landscape, the culture of contemporary Tibet and on a personal pilgrimage in the wake of his mother's death.
Colin Thubron is the author of Among the Russians, Behind the Wall,The Lost Heart of Asia, In Siberia, and the bestselling Shadow of the Silk Road. More information on event
