Discovery on the Kathmandu Trail is the story of a young man's adventures through Europe and Asia in search of peace and enlightenment. Restless and dissatisfied in the spiritual bankruptcy of the opulent West, the author embarks on a journey to the oriental lands of mythical serenity and illumination, while attempting to stifle metaphysical anguish with the help of hallucinogenic drugs. Through numerous episodes across sixteen countries, his tale is a modern pilgrimage --a chronicle of one traveler's growing awareness of the providential hand of Him who guides all true seekers to the Great Discovery.
