In 1932, long before travelling in Central Asia became fashionable, Ella Maillart travelled to Russian Turkestan, bordered by China, Tibet, Pakistan, & Afghanistan. Her dream was to see the mountains that lay on the fringes of China & the Takla Makan desert. She travelled like a nomad
- slowly, by camel & on foot. Setting out from Moscow, she crossed Kyrgyzstan as far as the Tien Shan range (the Celestial Mountains). She climbed the 5, 000 metre-high Sari Tor on makeshift skis, explored the legendary cities of Tashkent, Samark&, Khiva & Bukhara, travelled down the Amu Daria river & crossed, solo, the freezing & hostile wastes of the Kizil Kum, the Desert of Red Sands.
