About the book
Tales of the Turquoise is put together from day-to-day notes of events taken
during a twenty day pilgrimage of many of the major temples,. shrines and
sacred mountains of the Dolpo region of north-west Nepal. The author's companion,
Karma, a nomad from Western Tibet, revealed himself to be an excellent story
teller with a sense of humour. The journey was punctuated by Karma's stories
which rapidly became an indispensible part ?of the day's itinerary, stories
which responded to the author's eagerness to know more about those aspects
of the Tibetan culture which are not revealed in more casual contacts. |
