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:  
Nicholas Roerich foi altamente influenciado pela cultura oriental. Durante muito tempo, acalentou o desejo de viajar ao Oriente para estudar, in loco, a cultura antiga e, em 1923, foi para a Índia. Enquanto finalizava os planos para empreender uma expedição à Ásia Central, morou por um tempo em Sikkim, à época um reino fronteiriço no noroeste da Índia. Sobre o encantamento que as montanhas despertavam nele, Roerich escreveu:  


<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>
