The Gray Ghost Awaits A four-member team ventures into the heart of the Himalayan wilderness at an elevation of just over 5,000 meters. Their quest: to see the "gray ghost," the elusive and majestic snow leopard. They brave treacherous terrain and bone-chilling cold, learning the difficulty, danger, and reward of "seeing" in this unforgiving landscape. Every precarious step is a test of will. Join traveling teacher Joshua Smalley and his team on a two-week journey into an unforgiving, frozen wilderness. By day, nature's fury threatens their lives. By night, an evil spirit haunts their homestay. These challenges are offset by the warmth of the Ladakhi people--their smiles, delicious food, ancient wisdom, mysterious music, and enduring friendships. Through the ever-present peril and delightful beauty of this adventure, you will discover a world few have ever known. This is a profound journey into self-discovery and the sacrifices required to see true beauty.
