This was bought from the Barnes and Noble bookhouse in Thamel, Kathmandu, after having done an Everest Base Camp trek. It will probably be read on a beach in Thailand.

RELEASE NOTES:

This book was left in the bar downstairs, near the hammocks. I loved the book, and found it very spiritual. Its probably made its way into the library now, but if you do find it, you can keep it until passed on again.

Looks like this book wanted to go back to Nepal. I must have picked it up from The Sanctuary (Thailand) as I was known to layover there. But I took this book to Nepal and on a month-long trek through lower and upper Dolpa, regions of Nepal where Peter Matthiessen pursued a glimpse of the snow leopard himself. I just pulled the book out for a re-read as I'm currently writing about my pilgrimage through the Dolpa, and I found the bookcrossing.com ID number! Not sure if I can set it free as it was witness to such an epic journey. But we'll see....
