5 out of 5 stars

A beautiful and inspiring photographic river journey. June 23, 1999
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

The Brahmaputra is an extraordinary holy river that flows from two main sources, one in the Indian Himalayas and the other on the Tibetan Plateau. Dramatic landscapes, vastly divergent lifestyles and three major world religions provide the backdrop for Brahmaputra's thousand mile journey to the sea. The book tells the story in lavish photographs and words, of the journey from the sources of the great river to the Bay of Bengal. It is beautiful, inspiring, meditative and makes you long to be there.
