Product Description

This is an illustrated book on the the Kingdom of Bhutan, tucked in the Himalayas, which has remained a forbidden and almost impenetrable country for over three centuries. The author and photographer were fortunate enough to meet Princess Ashi Cheoki, who treated them as personal guests and granted them entry into the forbidden East. The author describes how the further east they went the deeper was their understanding of the country and its people. Greeted with fascination by the Bhutanese, they were received with hospitality when staying in temples, barns or with village chieftains. They also met the Dalai Lama.

5.0 out of 5 stars Travel vision, 2 Nov 2003

By	J. Howarth "anon" (uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

By chance, I picked up this book inside a huge tent filled with all kinds of literature and just flicked open the first few pages. That's all it took to become totally captivated by this journey into the strange unknown world that seems like fiction. My friends asked, after reading the back, "Is it fiction?", so intriguing and strange are the contents of Katie Hickmans journalistic diaries. This book is worth getting for anyone who has the vaguist interest in other cultures, or for anyone who needs their faith re-establishing in the peculiarity and individuality of humanity.

By	"deathzalwayz" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dreams of The Peaceful Dragon: Journey into Bhutan (Paperback)

i've never been to Bhutan, and my knowledge of it, was very little until I read this book, I found it to be very informative and interesting, giving a real insight in to the country and its culture. really fun and exciting at times. very good, drags on at parts I felt, but generally excellent
