After first visiting the Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh in 1985, Eduard Fischer returned again and again, seeking to catch a glimpse of the phantom of the Himalayas - the elusive snow leopard. During these visits he became enthralled with the unique culture of this ancient mountain kingdom, one of the oldest enclaves of Buddhism. In this book, Fischer takes us on an exploration of myth, art, science and the sacred space of high mountains.
