 | Journey to the Valley of the Drung by Wade Brackenbury
Wade Brackenbury's wanderlust led him to China, where he climbed mountains and deliberately lost himself in an alien culture. When he met a French photojournalist in a restaurant, he accompanied him on a quest for the Drung people, a dwindling tribe in an obscure valley in Tibet, accessible only when the snow melted for a brief period each year making passage over the mountains possible--and forbidden to foreigners by the Chinese government. It took the two men three years to travel the few hundred miles to the land of the Drung. This is the story of their journey, and what they found at the end of it. AUTHOR: Wade Brackenbury
