Henry Edmundson will describe these adventures, weaving in the complex story of the region's geography, history, religions, and culture. You will be transported to areas which even today are seldom visited and introduced to the harsh realities of life among the world's highest mountains and the challenges the Himalayan peoples face both politically and environmentally.
