*कहानी:*
लेखक और उसका दोस्त डेनियल तिब्बत के रास्ते कैलाश पर्वत जाना चाहते हैं। वह ल्हासा से शुरू करते हैं। वह एक ड्राइवर त्सेतन के साथ जीप में जाते हैं।
रास्ता बहुत खतरनाक है, ऊँचे पहाड़, ठंड, बर्फ। वे रास्ते में कई मठ (monastery) देखते हैं।
सिल्क रोड पुराना रास्ता है जो चीन को भारत और यूरोप से जोड़ता था, रेशम का व्यापार होता था। इसी रास्ते पर लेखक जा रहा है।
वे तिब्बत के पठार पर जाते हैं, बहुत ऊँचाई है, सांस लेना मुश्किल, सिर दर्द, ठंड।
रास्ते में वे एक झील मान सरोवर देखते हैं, बहुत पवित्र झील। हिंदू, बौद्ध सभी के लिए पवित्र।
फिर वे कैलाश पर्वत देखते हैं - बहुत सुंदर, बर्फ से ढका, शिव का घर माना जाता है।
रास्ते में कई तीर्थयात्री मिलते हैं जो कैलाश की परिक्रमा (kora) कर रहे हैं।
लेखक को बहुत कठिनाई होती है - ठंड, ऊँचाई, बीमारी, पर वह यात्रा पूरी करता है।
अंत में वह कैलाश पर्वत के दर्शन करता है और समझता है कि यह यात्रा सिर्फ शारीरिक नहीं, आध्यात्मिक भी है।
कहानी सिखाती है कि सिल्क रोड सिर्फ व्यापार का रास्ता नहीं, संस्कृति, धर्म का भी रास्ता है।
