In 1922, as the Great Game played on, botanist Frank Kingdon-Ward led a Royal Geographical Society expedition to Tibet's uncharted Tsangpo Gorge. In an age of exploration, the wild, unnavigable Tsangpo River remained one of the last great undiscovered parts of the globe - and there Kingdon-Ward was searching for the mysterious Shangri-La.
Westerners have long been bewitched by Shangri-La. It's been regarded variously as a strategic prize, a geographical puzzle and a hidden Buddhist realm - but always considered unparalleled as a magical evocation of romance and beauty.
Like moths drawn to a flame, other explorers have followed in Kingdon-Ward's footsteps in the hope of unlocking the secrets of this hidden region. And some have paid the ultimate price for their obsession.
Adventure, history and myth combine in this incredible tale of the search for the hidden falls in Tsangpo Gorge that gave rise to the legend of Shangri-La - this is the real story of the Lost Horizon.
