The Adventure In Zanskar

In 1983, twenty-one-year-old Amy Edelstein set out on a 500-kilometer journey in Zanskar, India, the highest valley in the world. She walked alone by foot, crossing passes above 16,000 feet, sleeping in caves, meeting high lamas, and exploring a culture that had remained virtually the same for thousands of years. Her book on "Adventure in Zanskar" is an Amazon bestseller. In this episode, we talk with Amy herself on her journey through Zanskar and what she experienced there, and what she has in mind for anyone willing to visit the uniquely beautiful valleys and monasteries of Zanskar.
