For centuries, the myth of a hidden paradise, a "beyul" or sacred sanctuary, persisted deep within Tibet's Tsangpo Gorge, protected by a colossal, legendary waterfall. After early 20th-century expeditions dismissed it as a myth, adventurer and Buddhist scholar Ian Baker embarked on a daring quest. Facing treacherous terrain and formidable natural obstacles, Baker and his team ultimately reached the gorge's depths, making global news with their discovery of a 108-foot waterfall, validating ancient prophecies and the elusive grail of explorers.
