The Tsangpo Gorge in southeastern Tibet, sacred to the Buddhists and the inspiration for Shangri-La, has lured explorers and adventurers since its discovery. As a river-running challenge, it is more difficult than any stretch of white water ever attempted. The finest expedition paddlers on earth have tried. Several have died. All have failed. Until now.

In January 2002 a team of seven kayakers launched a meticulously planned assault on the gorge. Accompanying them was author Peter Heller. A world-class kayaker in his own right, Heller has logged countless river miles and several major first descents. He joined the Tsangpo expedition as a member of the ground support team and official expedition journalist, and was also granted the exclusive opportunity to write the book about the descent. Filled with history, white-knuckle drama, and mutiny in one of the world's most remote locations.
