Kanchenjunga Whispers: Legends and Tales from The Elgin

Enchanting tales and vivid storytelling at its best from the land of Kanchenjunga
Rea Oberoi takes you on an unforgettable adventure through a land of sacred, wish-fulfilling places;
countless legends; supernatural presence; and mysterious myths. Daughter of legendary hotelier—the
late Brij Raj ‘Diamond’ Oberoi, who took the Elgin group of heritage hotels to new heights—Rea
weaves a narrative that immediately transports you to the Himalayas and stirs your wanderlust.
In Kanchenjunga Whispers, discover forest shamans, bodhisattvas, hidden tribes, gods and goddesses
and travel with them to the valley of flowers, the ruins of an ancient kingdom, sacred forests, magical
caverns and mythical monasteries. Venture into the land of the thunderbolt and rolling tea gardens
and join the author as she forages for Himalayan gold and tries to cross over to Shambhala—the
land of enlightened beings.
With hair-raising accounts that unfold as darkness settles over the misty mountains and road
trips that take you to uncharted realms, this collection will also give you a glimpse of the author’s
Himalayan home, where Sansar (the visible world) meets Moksha (the soul).
Join Rea on this fulfilling journey of self-discovery and surround yourself with soaring mountains and
the sweet aroma of the tea gardens.
