Explorer, Tibet scholar and author Ian Baker talks about his life's work, experiencing the fabled 'hidden lands' of Tibet, which are considered by Tibetans to be the most sacred places on earth. One such place, Pemako (aka Land of the Lotuses), is the subject of his book, 'The Heart of the World', which not only "recounts one of the most captivating stories of exploration and discovery in recent memory... to one of the wildest and most inaccessible places on earth, (but is) a meditation on our place in nature, (and) a pilgrimage to the heart of the Tibetan Buddhist faith." Ian reveals what the ultimate goal is of reaching such a secret land and describes how vital these places are to future of our world. ?Ian Baker?s journeys into one of the least explored regions of Tibet will inspire others not only to venture into unknown lands on a geographical level, but also to discover the inner realms within which our own deepest nature lies hidden? His Holiness the Dalai Lama
