“Mesmerising” Sunday Times
Niema Ash was one of the first Westerners to enter the forbidden kingdom of Tibet when its borders were briefly opened by the Chinese authorities in 1986.

She encountered people for whom traditional life had been unchanged for generations and found that their humour, spirituality and sheer enthusiasm for life had carried them through years of oppression. In this absorbing personal tale, she relates her own experiences with wit, compassion and sensitivity.
The people, culture and traditions of Tibet remain mysterious to most outsiders. With a foreword by the Dalai Lama, Touching Tibet gives an insight into the heart and soul of this magnificent and enigmatic country.
