In Tibet there are legends about the Land of Immortality—a hidden valley concealed on the slopes of Mount Kanchendzonga. This valley exists in another reality, where there is no death, illness, or suffering—yet it is located in our world, and you don’t need to die in order to get there. In the early 1960s, the charismatic lama Tulshuk Lingpa set out with three hundred followers on a search for the secret valley. This is an engrossing account of his expedition. Thomas K. Shore spent years on careful research to tell the incredible and thrilling story of Tulshuk Lingpa’s life. The author spoke with participants of that expedition, traveled through the Himalayas, studied the culture and everyday life of the people living there, delved into their mythology, and tried to understand the intricate web of beliefs held by the indigenous inhabitants of Tibet.
