Darko Berljak was born in 1950 in Zagreb, where graduated in mountain tourism from the Faculty of Economy. A prominent mountaineer, a practitioner who has climbed hundreds of demanding slopes. A mountaineering instructor, a member of the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service, a teacher and promoter and a writer. His books on Nepal and Tibet, whose titles contain the word sky, deconstruct the truly genre foundation of a travelogue into documentary sequences of living, imaginative images. Nebo puno Himalaje speaks about a journey to Shangri-La, the otherworldly that cannot be conveyed, but can be sensed in the text.
