false 730462 3 Bhutan is a remote kingdom in the Himalayas, isolated from the outside world for three centuries. The western part has been opened to limited tourism, but the eastern part remains closed. Katie Hickman is one of only a handful of foreigners ever to penetrate these eastern lands. Her trip to Bhutan with photographer Tom Owen Edmunds took a year to set up. They journeyed from the capital Thimphu in the west to the easternmost borderlands and the remote mountain-top retreat of the barbarous Bragpa people. They lived as Bhutanese, and met merchants, abbots, wandering priests, lamas, hermits, a reincarnation of the Buddha and a sorceress. Katie Hickman's account contains all the unexpected and humorous aspects of travel, but, above all, it is about the people of Bhutan. 716661 1987 Dreams of the Peaceful Dragon: A Journey Through Bhutan total:5|5:1|4:1|3:3| 5 18 19 1 3 0 false false Thu Jul 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 16:32:35 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 16:41:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 03:16:19 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 03:16:19 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jul 21 11:54:56 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 13:48:41 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 11:54:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 02 13:44:05 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 13:44:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 17 13:39:44 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 13:39:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 10 07:22:21 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 07:22:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 06 08:44:16 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 08:44:16 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Apr 25 09:19:52 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 18:15:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 21 11:40:27 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 11:40:54 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jan 28 14:59:03 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 14:59:03 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 11 10:11:34 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 10:12:40 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Dec 12 19:33:30 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 19:33:34 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Jul 30 14:42:12 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 14:42:12 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jun 28 10:56:20 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 28 10:56:20 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Jan 09 11:51:50 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 11:51:50 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Nov 22 11:34:38 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 22 11:34:42 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Fri Sep 07 03:05:10 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 07 03:05:10 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Aug 03 19:08:20 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 03 19:08:20 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Thu Jul 19 09:52:07 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 19 09:52:07 -0700 2007
