Crossing Tibet: 20 Epilogue

Episode 20: Epilogue My own fascination for this story, as an alpinist and nature enthusiast, is the love for being outside. My observation in Tibet was that Tibetans of all types seem to have a nomadic streak in them and are never happier than when moving, on pony back or on foot through an unpeopled countryside in close communion with untamed nature. Rapid travel would be no travel, as far as this quality of experience is concerned. Here again, one sees how a certain kind of life helps to foster the habit of inward recollection as well as that sense of kinship with animals, birds, and trees which is so deeply rooted in the Tibetan soul.
