The author of this book is a famous traveler, president of the International Academy of Geosocial Ecology (IAGE) and a full member of the Russian Geographical Society, a professional rescue doctor, participant in extreme expeditions to the “lost worlds” of our planet, dedicated shaman of Altai, Mongolia, Kamchatka and Tropical Africa. He is a member of the secret magical brotherhoods of several continents, visited the Andes and the Himalayas, the Pamirs and Tien Shan, the jungles of South America, Laos and Vietnam, the Gobi Desert, the Kalahari and the Sahara, the Lapland Arctic and Sakhalin. He "trained" in secret knowledge with the Shaolin monks and in the Indian Toda tribe - the mysterious "tribe of the Blue Mountains." And all this colossal and unusual experience was useful to Alexander Redko in his studies of the Himalayas and Tibet: he has been doing them for ten years. Apksander Redko heard the most fantastic legends from the monks and wanderers of Tibet, along the paths and passes of which he traveled about twenty thousand kilometers. And his conclusions can sometimes seem truly incredible.
