TO A MOUNTAIN IN TIBET - COLIN THUBRON



RATING: B-

Even in the Himalayas they have rock pigeons! I enjoyed this relaxing read about a travel experience with several notes on birds. Whilst it mentions a multitude of religions, it is based mainly on the geography and culture of the area and people encountered. It is a trip I might have wanted to do myself, had the situation in Tibet been other than it currently is. (Until Tibet is known again as Tibet, rather than as Chinese stolen property, I will not go there.)

This book should appeal to those who have an interest in pilgrimages, mountains, and Himalayan travel.
