Description:
Deep in the heart of the Himalayas, isolated from the outside world by snow for nine months of the year, the ancient kingdom of Zanskar seems light years away from the modern world and its inhabitants. Olivier Follmi and his wife, Danielle, have made numerous trips to Zanskar over the past twenty years, the results of which are eloquently revealed in this volume.
Expand description
Breathtaking photographs and a moving text combine to record the rites and customs of an exceptional people, enriched by traditional wisdom, in a Buddhist land where religion and its observance define a way of life.
Danielle and Olivier Follmi are the founders of HOPE (Himalayan Organization for People and Education), which supports educational projects in the Himalayas. Olivier Follmi published an earlier collection of photographs of the region, entitled Zanskar (1989).
