The Last Tibetan Kingdom, A Journey in Search of Home, author Rose Lane

The Last Tibetan Kingdom, A Journey in Search of Home. Having lost the anchor of home it was as though I needed to fix upon some other unchanging and seemingly permanent thing, otherwise I would sink. When Author Rose Lane's family home is sold, she loses more than bricks and mortar - she loses her last sense of belonging. Born into a family marked by silence and grief, she has always been an outsider. Now, untethered, she turns her gaze to a distant place she's only read about: the medieval walled city of Lo Manthang, high on the windswept Tibetan plateau in Nepal. Reaching it means two weeks on horseback at an altitude of over 3,000 metres - a seeminglyimpossible task for someone who tires after a short walk. But with her husband, a local guide, and a sceptical team around her, Rose sets out to prove that she's stronger than she believes. As she travels through a landscape steeped in history and spiritual mystery, she witnesses a fading world: ancient monasteries crumbling, traditions eroding, climate and politics reshaping lives. Lo Manthang is changing - and so is she. To connect with Rose ... https://roselane.com.au/ https://roselane.com.au/blog https://ajourneytolomanthang.com/2025/07/21/the-last-tibetan-kingdom/ https://www.amazon.com.au/Last-Tibetan-Kingdom-Journey-Search-ebook/dp/B0FMDKLQD2
