Andy Lowe to talk about Mount Kailash

The next Thousand Stars Lecture Series will feature Dr. Andy Lowe who will speak to us about his recent trip to the Kailash Mountain in western Tibet. Mount Kailash, known in Tibetan as "Kang Rinpoche," or the Precious Snow Mountain, is one of the most spiritually potent places in the world, and is the source of three of Asia's greatest rivers--the Indus, the Ganges and the Brahmaputra. Andy will also talk with us about how to prepare for a trip to the mountain and how to manage the effects of trekking in high altitude.

The talk will take place on Sunday, 3 February 2008 from 13:30 to 15:30 hours at the Thousand Stars House, 695, Soi 11, Ladprao Road, near Carrefour Ladprao.

For more information please read Andy's own account on the trip.
