Few are those who do not have childhood memories attached to comic books.
Tintin in Tibet and Jo and Zette (the valley of the cobras), both drawn by Hergé, are 2 albums that have transported my imagination for a long time to the land of eternal snows.
The trips of Vincent Munier and the Larrey brothers in search of the snow leopard have subsequently whetted my appetite for wide open spaces.
After an unsuccessful trip to Russia before the COVID (and the war that followed) I had given up hope of seeing this mythical animal. When my friend Sumantha Ghosh, director of the company Rural Traveller, proposed me to go, I jumped on the opportunity!
Here is the result of an extraordinary stay. Thanks to all those who helped me (Lara, Sonham (1 and 2), Tensing, Torgé,...)
