Shangri La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. Hilton describes Shangri La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. Shangri La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise, and particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the novel Lost Horizon, the people who live at Shangri La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly aging in appearance.
