Journey to the heart of spirituality with Colin Thubron in 'To a Mountain in Tibet.' Thubron embarks on a personal pilgrimage, traversing the rugged landscape of Nepal and the high passes of Tibet, to reach Mount Kailas's sacred slopes. The mountain, untouched by climbers and circled by devout pilgrims of Hindu and Buddhist faiths, unfolds as a source of universal creation myths. Alongside pilgrims and through ancient monasteries, Thubron's trek is laden with reflections on loss and memory following the death of his family's last member. His prose brings landscapes to life and delves into dialogues with reclusive villagers and monks—rekindling connections with his origins in a nexus of psychological exploration and rich travelogue.
