Download or read book Pedalling to Kailash Cycling Adventures and Misadventures Across the Roof of the World written by Graydon Hazenberg and published by Graydon Hazenberg. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, Graydon Hazenberg, his sisters and their partners set off on a youthful quest. Seduced by the romance of the loftiest peaks on earth and a road claimed to be the world's highest, they pedalled out of Islamabad, Pakistan headed for Tibet's holiest mountain, the pilgrimage site of Mt. Kailash. Had they known how hard it would be on their equipment, their bodies and their willpower, they might have thought twice. Calling themselves the Xtreme Dorks, the five cyclists pedalled, pushed and hiked their way around, over and through the world's highest mountain ranges. For three months they persevered despite a frequent lack of food or anything resembling a real road. They followed in the footsteps of previous pilgrims, explorers and mountaineers, passing through remote valleys and wind-scoured plateaux. Along the way they had the privilege of meeting members of some of the cultures that call the Roof of the World home: the Pakhtuns of the Northwest Frontier; the Kalash people of Chitral; the Baltis living around K2; the longlived Hunzakut; the Kyrgyz, Tajiks and Uighurs of western Xinjiang; and the dokpa nomadic herders inhabiting western Tibet. It was not a straightforward journey. Plagued by frequent equipment failures, recurrent illness, abysmal road conditions and efforts by the Chinese Public Security Bureau to stop them cycling to Tibet, it required real determination to keep the pedals turning in the direction of Kailash. Initial exuberance gradually acquired some of the resolve shown by hardy Tibetan and Hindu pilgrims as the Dorks approached the far-off mountain with glacial slowness. Even once they had reached Kailash and nearby Lake Manasarovar, their troubles were not over, as their onward travel by vehicle towards Lhasa proved every bit as challenging as cycling had been. Graydon Hazenberg has taken the account of this long-ago pilgrimage and brought it to life in the present, interweaving it with stories of the history and culture of the places encountered along the way. The result is a compelling tale that will entertain seasoned adventurers, cycle tourists, history buffs and armchair travellers of all descriptions. As John Keay, the distinguished British writer of numerous books about the Indian subcontinent's history, says of Pedalling to Kailash, "It was a brutal marathon, but it makes for an engrossing read."

Download or read book The High Sierra written by Kim Stanley Robinson and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “sublime” and “radically original” exploration of the Sierra Nevadas, the best mountains on Earth for hiking and camping, from New York Times bestselling novelist Kim Stanley Robinson (Bill McKibben, Gary Snyder). Kim Stanley Robinson first ventured into the Sierra Nevada mountains during the summer of 1973. He returned from that encounter a changed man, awed by a landscape that made him feel as if he were simultaneously strolling through an art museum and scrambling on a jungle gym like an energized child. He has returned to the mountains throughout his life—more than a hundred trips—and has gathered a vast store of knowledge about them. The High Sierra is his lavish celebration of this exceptional place and an exploration of what makes this span of mountains one of the most compelling places on Earth. Over the course of a vivid and dramatic narrative, Robinson describes the geological forces that shaped the Sierras and the history of its exploration, going back to the indigenous peoples who made it home and whose traces can still be found today. He celebrates the people whose ideas and actions protected the High Sierra for future generations. He describes uniquely beautiful hikes and the trails to be avoided. Robinson’s own life-altering events, defining relationships, and unforgettable adventures form the narrative’s spine. And he illuminates the human communion with the wild and with the sublime, including the personal growth that only seems to come from time spent outdoors. The High Sierra is a gorgeous, absorbing immersion in a place, born out of a desire to understand and share one of the greatest rapture-inducing experiences our planet offers. Packed with maps, gear advice, more than 100 breathtaking photos, and much more, it will inspire veteran hikers, casual walkers, and travel readers to prepare for a magnificent adventure.
