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 FÜllmi 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. 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.
