Gimalai. Krysha mira - Pelin M.

Michael Palin - the author of many books that became bestsellers, artist, screenwriter, documentary maker, famous traveler. Palin and his colleagues on the Air Force film crew to some extent opened the Himalayas to the world. Travelers have passed the Himalayas from west to east, through six Asian countries, from the Khyber Passage, where the great mountain ranges are born, to Bangladesh, where the Himalayas are coming to naught, turning into dust and sand, carried away by the winds and waters of the Ganges and Brahmaputra in the Bay of Bengal. The Himalayas are not only the "battleground" of the most powerful geological forces, but also the center of human "tectonic" collisions, which show religious and cultural features, national aspirations, traditions and technologies. Michael Palin, a talented and versatile man who called the journey to the Himalayas "wonderful, magical, wonderful," acknowledged that it has amazed him far more than any other journey.
