This book captures the stunning high peaks and remote mountain ranges of Asia, as well as the living cultures and religious ceremonies in faraway regions of the Great Himalayan Range. The book's compelling color photography transports the viewer to largely inaccessible places of mountain grandeur and still-vibrant religious practice. William and Anne Frej chronicle these rich traditions and practices over 40 years of passionate exploration and 3,000 miles of walking. Not only does this book document the cultures of these mountain people, but also highlights the toll of environmental impacts.
