"There is something about Himalayas not possessed by the Alps, something unseen andunknown, a charm that pervades every hour spend among them, a mystery intriguingand disturbing. Confronted by them, a man loses his grip of ordinary things,perceiving himself as immortal, and an entity capable of outdistancing all changes,all decay, all life, and all death."
