Summary
In 1931 Joanna Lumley's grandparents undertook a three and a half month journey across the small and secret Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, to honour the King with an award. Joanna retraces their steps to meet the King's descendants and discover… for herself the charm of this forgotten land. Trekking on foot and pony across remote mountain passes and valleys, she visits the rural villages and the towering monasteries. She finds that little has changed since her forebears passed through, and is overwhelmed by the magic and beauty of Bhutan. 1997.
