Publisher's Synopsis
In 2007, a student tried to visit his family hiking up the Himalayas. He was never to be found. Two years later, another student, Karma attempted to visit his parents in the Himalayas; only to find himself lost in the middle of hundreds of deserted mountains, alone, trying to find his way home across the Crystal Mountains... Filled with suspense and mystery, Climbing Beyond Crystal Mountain is a true story about the journey of a lost Himalayan kid. "This book is a fascinating glimpse into an unimaginably remote area of Nepal, its flora and fauna and terrain, the spiritual significance of the Crystal Mountain of the Dragon Roar, and the culture of the resilient people who live there. The author's trip was not merely a harrowing physical journey, but also a spiritual journey on which he rediscovered his true self. He ends with the statement that his home is his soul." -Alexandra
