The author spent over 5 years journeying across the Himalayas tracking down those who were part of this extraordinary expedition in the early 1960s and gathering their stories. Meet a few of them: Geshipa Geshipa, the former rainmaker for the King of Bhutan, is perhaps the happiest man I’ve ever met. Combining the innocence of a child with the wisdom of a sage, his belief is so direct that it is infectious. It was in his presence, more than in anyone else’s, that I felt the lived reality of possibility that the quest for Beyul represents. Lama Tashi Lama Tashi was in his thirties at that time and powerfully built. He was the one to break the trail through the snow. He still lives at Tulshuk Lingpa's monastery high in Lahaul, in the Indian Himalayas. “I am very happy that you have come,” he said. “May we meet again!” Yeshe Yeshe was 18 at the time. She had the special ability to look into the melong, the magic mirror, a disk of polished metal, and see in its distorted forms images and visions of the way ahead. She was also Tulshuk Lingpa's consort and was with him during the ascent. Her love for him has clearly not faded over the years. Wangyal Bodh Wangyal Bodh was one of Tulshuk Lingpa's closest disciples. One day he went alone with Tulshuk Lingpa into a glaciated side valley surrounded by high snowy peaks. It was there he smelt the wild flowers wafting down from the frozen heights and knew they were nearing the gate to the Hidden Land. Lama Tulshuk Lingpa, shortly before he made the ascent. The book is richly illustrated with over 60 photographs and maps, both contemporary and historical, of the people and places in the story.
