Out of This World is a breathtaking account of their 300-mile trek from India across the Roof of the World. This first edition is a visual feast, containing over 100 illustrations, including 32 pioneering full-color photographs that captured a civilization largely hidden from the West.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book is particularly noted for its vivid descriptions of Himalayan mountain passes, Tibetan nobility, and an audience with the boy-king Dalai Lama.
