Whether relating her 'non-heroic' encounters with yaks, Tibetan mastiffs, snow leopards and earthquakes, or pondering on the vagaries of electricity, development and water supply, or delving into the mysteries of the tika, Buddhist art or the legend of Shangri-La itself, she writes with humour, warmth and understanding about this 'small mountainous country' which is home to such a wealth of peoples, cultures and lifestyles.
