Summary
As souls there are times in our lives where something within us stirs to explore life deeper.
Have you ever had that inner stirring? How about the yearn to travel to a foreign land? Perhaps meet others who are living a life that may seem primitive yet exotic and unique.
My guest today had this inner yearning, set off on a journey and she is here to share with us her explorations through her Adventure in Zanskar.
In 1983, 21 year old Amy Edelstein set out on a 500 kilometer journey in Zanskar, India the highest valley in the world. She walked alone by foot, crossing paths above 16,000 feet, sleeping in caves, meeting high lamas, and exploring a culture that had remained virtually the same for thousands of years- a culture that was about to change irrevocably. Drawn by the seeker's quest for wisdom, what Amy found shaped her life.
