Summary Bruce Parry treks into the high Himalayan mountains of Bhutan to live with the isolated Layap people, devout Buddhists and yak herders, cut off from the outside world for half the year by deep snow. This is a spiritual journey for Bruce and the local astrologer tells him his best-case scenario is to be reincarnated as a monkey - if he makes 10,000 yak-butter candles to atone for his sins so far
