The author travels to Nepal with a scientist friend who is seeking the rare snow leopard, and this book is a memoir of that journey. More about the spiritual journey than the itinerary, combining adventure, relationships and Buddhism in one classic book. Won the National Book Award. I've not read it in years, but remember it as powerful and insightful.
