Tibet, in the days it was the scared citadel of the Lamas, a mysterious kingdom set among the clouds, was a place which opened the “very doors of the soul-the doors of convention which man has built about himself”. This is how Harrison Forman-an adventurer of undaunted courage who ventured alone into this forbidden territory after losing bandits encountered this hitherto unexplored land of exotic secrets, cults rituals and sacred shrines full of fabulous wealth. His breath taking narrative fascinated the reader from the first to the last page, as he tells stories of his journey into this ancient land of gold topped temples which dazzled the eyes and strange rituals that dumb the mind.

There are the Nukhwas (Sorcerers) with mysterious powers to summon the spirits, including divinity, with supernatural powers which takes one beyond the limits of human rationality; the female living Buddha in her dark cave full of bats, who feeds them on her own flesh; the exorcisms, devil dances, female bandit queens and numerous other tales stranger then fiction which challenge the modern readers’ sense of credibility but which nevertheless are nothing less than the author’s own lived in adventures.

A most fascinating tale, inviting the reader to set aside all conventionalities and travel into this bygone era of mysticism and exotic customs of a civilization now lost for ever.
