Nicholas Roerich was greatly influenced by Eastern culture. He had desired for a long time to travel to the East in order to study the ancient culture firsthand, and in 1923 he set sail for India. He resided for a time in Sikkim (then a kingdom bordering northeast India) while making final plans for an expedition to Central Asia. Roerich wrote of his enchantment with the mountains:  
Nicolás Roerich recibió una gran influencia de la cultura oriental. Había deseado por mucho tiempo viajar a Oriente con el fin de estudiar la antigua cultura personalmente; y en 1923 zarpó hacia la India. Residió por un tiempo en Sikkim (entonces un reino colindante al noreste de la India) mientras hacía los últimos planes de una expedición a Asia Central. Roerich escribió sobre su fascinación con las montañas:  


<blockquote>All teachers journeyed to the mountains. The highest knowledge, the most inspired songs, the most superb sounds and colours are created on the mountains. On the highest mountains there is the Supreme. The high mountains stand as witnesses of the great reality.<ref>Nicholas Roerich, ''Himalayas: Abode of Light'' (Bombay: Nalanda Publications, 1947), p. 21, in Jacqueline Decter, ''Nicholas Roerich: The Life and Art of a Russian Master'' (Rochester, Vt.: Park Street Press, 1989), p. 141.</ref></blockquote>
