Can you imagine the privilege of taking along a companion who has been travelling in Tibet over a ten year period - when you are visiting for the first time? This book contains all Buckley's best adventures over those years, a wealth of readable information on all that he sees, and his very well informed observation and explanation. At times he made me laugh out loud (I loved his section on 'how to engage the Chinese in Tibet in a conversation about His Holiness The Dalai Lama; 'Why is it that a billion Chinese are afraid of one man?' 'We are not afraid of him!' 'Then why won't you talk about him?' Brilliant.) And he constantly worked the magic of a travel writer and had me wondering when I could pack. This book should become compulsory reading before any visit to Tibet, Dharamsala, Ladakh, The Himalayas, Mongolia or Bhutan and if, like me, you missed Heartlands before you went, then read it on your return. If only everyone who went to Tibet knew as much as this then maybe the Chinese would leave Tibet alone...

Informative, insightful, humourous and entertaining stories through the areas of Tibetan culture
29. September 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
After interviewing the Dalai lama in 1989 in Dharamsala, Buckley vowed: "I want to see as much as I can of the Tibetan world before the flame is snuffed out, to get cracking before it all disappears. Because according to the Dalai Lama, it's on the brink - and he should know." Buckley relates 13 trips from 1989 to 1999 through the areas of Tibetan culture - Tibet, Ladakh, Dharamsala India, Outer Mongolia, Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim.
The stories are: bicycling the high passes of Ladakh; Dharamsala and a chat with the Dalai Lama; through Mongolia and Amdo; visiting Lhasa; taking landcruiser tours near Lhasa; acting in a Chinese movie about the British invasion in Gyantse; visiting Guge Kingdom in western Tibet; trekking around Mount Kailash; trekking to Upper Mustang in Nepal; teaching young Tibetan refugees English near McLeod in India; a humourous account of a best selling autobiography of a Tibetan Lama from 1956 whose author turned out to be a fake; Bhutan; and Sikkim visiting Darjeeling, Gangtok and Kalimpong to see Kangchenjunga.
Buckley trekked to Lo Manthang in Upper Mustang in October 1995, where he had tea with the King. "The wind has, over the millennia, sculpted the canyon walls into surreal shapes - organ-pipe cliffs, fluted pillars, rock spires. Striking bands of colour appear in the hills: blue, grey, rust and green tones. ... The crystal clear vistas redefine your sense of space. Under piercing blue skies, this awesome display of wilderness resonates right through your bones, a high-altitude tonic."
I enjoyed Buckley's writing style, informative, insightful, humourous and entertaining. Like the Travelers series, this book is a great companion to travel guides before traveling to Tibetan areas.
