Michael Palin tackles the full length of the Himalaya in this terrific number
one bestseller.

Having risen to the challenge of seas, poles, dhows and deserts, the highest
mountains in the world were a natural target for Michael Palin. In a journey
rarely, if ever, attempted before, in 6 months of hard travelling Palin takes
on the full length of the Himalaya including the Khyber Pass, the hidden
valleys of the Hindu Kush, ancient cities like Peshawar and Lahore, the mighty
peaks of K2, Annapurna and Everest, the gorges of the Yangtze, the tribal
lands of the Indo-Burmese border and the vast Brahmaputra delta in Bangladesh.

Facing altitudes as high as 17,500 feet as well as some of the world's deepest
gorges, Palin also passed through political flashpoints like Pakistan's remote
north-west frontier, terrorist-torn Kashmir and the mountains of Nagaland,
only recently open to visitors.
