Features: Before the rainy season arrived, I followed the renowned horseback mail route and entered Muli, a sacred site in Tibetan, meaning the residence of the goddess Padma Lhamo. Entering Muli was more like an adventure and a search than a mere tour. It was an ancient, mystical, and alluring sacred land. The American-Austrian scientist Joseph Rock entered it three times, calling that piece of land a hidden paradise in the world, unknown to anyone. The British writer Hilton, based on Rock's travelogue, created the world-famous novel "Lost Horizon," where Shangri-La in the book resembles the mountains and waters of Muli.
