Caravan to Tibet
Audible Audiobook
– Unabridged
In the last years of the nineteenth century, a caravan of traders sets off from the high hills of Kumaon, India, for Tibet. They traverse dangerous passes and brave blinding snowstorms, in order to carry on their traditional trade in the Tibetan markets. Among them is fourteen-year-old Debu’s father.
Many days later, when the caravan returns, Debu is heartbroken to learn that his father was lost in one of the treacherous passes. Somehow he cannot believe it, and when a Tibetan trader turns up in the local market wearing an amulet remarkably similar to his father’s, he is convinced that his father is alive, somewhere in Tibet. Debu joins the next caravan to Tibet to look for his father, little knowing he is setting out on the most perilous, yet most exciting journey of his life.
The adventures follow thick and fast—a forced stay in a monastery with a young lama who takes a fancy to him; his capture by a band of bandits led by the cruel, mysterious Nangbo gifted with magical powers; a stay in the goldfields of Thok Jalong; and finally ending with a heart-pounding, breathtaking horse race.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific adventure story for children
Verified PurchaseCaravan to Tibet is a page-turner that effortlessly combines several themes and genres - adventure, mystery and coming-of-age. The story begins with the brave Debu embarking on a mission to search for someone dear to him. He runs into several challenges on the way - dangerous men, mountain passes, capture and more...
As a children's book, I rate this a 5/5 because it has the perfect blend of history, adventure and character development. The writing is breezy and educational at the same time. I enjoyed learning about the geography, the food, the attire, while rooting for Debu in his tireless and dangerous efforts to find a loved one.
I would have thoroughly enjoyed reading this in my childhood too. Books like this create a sense of wonder at places one has not seen and are much needed to preserve the memory of times and places perhaps long-forgotten.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great adventure in a magical backdrop
Verified PurchaseLucid and captivating story with interesting twists. Happy ending at last. This kind of books should be translated in many language and I am interested to translate the book into Bengali, if writer and publisher permit that.
