After a twenty-year obsession, Charlie finally experienced Tibet in all its heartbreaking beauty. At the end of the road known as the Friendship Highway, he met Tibetan-born Lobsang who recounts the extraordinary story of how he fled the volatile region over the Himalayas, on foot, as a child in 1989, but was called back to Tibet by love.
Tibet was not just on the horizon, it capped it. Four thousand metres above this city was a country of stone and ice, and, even though it was officially closed, there was still a way in.
A compelling and unforgettable encounter on the roof of the world…
