В Тибете существуют предания о Стране Бессмертия — потаённой долине, скрытой на склонах горы Канченджанга. Эта долина существует в иной реальности, где нет смерти, болезней и страданий, — но при этом она расположена в нашем мире и не нужно умирать, чтобы попасть туда. В начале 1960-х годов харизматичный лама Тулшук Лингпа вместе с тремястами последователей отправился на поиски потаённой долины. Это увлекательный рассказ о его экспедиции. Томас К.
