Journey Across Tibet: A Young Woman's Trek Across the Rooftop of the World
by Sorrel Wilby

At the age of twenty-five, Sorrel Wilby had already traveled alone on bicycle through Japan, Korea, and China when seized with the idea of taking on an even greater challenge: to walk solo across Tibet. After securing the unexpected cooperation of the Chinese authorities, Wilby embarked on her three-month journey through barren desert plains, across 16,000-foot mountain passes, and into isolated hamlets where no Westerner had ever been seen. With few roads of any significance, following tracks that were often little more than goat trails, Wilby found herself entirely dependent on the help of Tibetan nomads, whose unfailing generosity and kindness amazed and sustained her. From herder to herder, they pointed the way until she reached the next village, regrouped, and recharted her progress. Communicating mainly in the universal language of gesture and goodwill, Wilby found that her trek among these proud people, materially poor but spiritually rich, quickly evolved from a daredevil adventure to a journey of self-discovery and personal revelation.
