महा घुमक्कड़ राहुल सांकृत्यायन ने हिमालय के तमाम अंचलों को अपनी आँखों से देखकर उनका परिचय लिखने का निश्चय किया था। उसी निश्चय का एक परिणाम है यह अनूठा भ्रमण-वृत्तान्त— ‘किन्नर देश में’। किन्नर देश से उनका आशय हिमाचल के उस रमणीय भू-भाग से है जो तिब्बत की सीमा पर सतलुज की घाटी में लगभग सत्तर मील की लम्बाई और प्रायः उतनी ही चौड़ाई में फैला हुआ है। यहाँ के प्राचीन निवासियों का ही जाति-नाम है किन्नर अथवा किंपुरुष। उन्हें देवयोनि माना जाता था। इस हिसाब से उनका प्रदेश देवलोक हुआ। स्वाभाविक ही उनके बारे में तमाम तरह की किंवदन्तियाँ और धारणाएँ अन्य समाजों में मौजूद रहीं। लेकिन राहुल ने पाया कि ‘जिस देश में कभी देवता रहते थे वहाँ पीछे पिछड़े मनुष्य रहने लगे’। इस पुस्तक में किन्नरों के समाज, संस्कृति, इतिहास, अर्थतंत्र, रीति-रिवाज, रहन-सहन, धर्म, मान्यताएँ, अन्धविश्वास आदि का विवरण दर्ज करते हुए वे उम्मीद जताते हैं कि इन पिछड़े मनुष्यों का देश फिर से देवलोक बन जाएगा। वस्तुतः इस पुस्तक में राहुल ऐसे एक भू-भाग का दर्शन करते हैं जो भारत का हिस्सा होते हुए भी अधिकतर भारतीयों के लिए अजाना या बहुत ही कम जाना हुआ है। कहना न होगा कि इस पुस्तक में साहित्य के सहृदय पाठकों के लिए एक अजाने-अनदेखे समाज और क्षेत्र का दिलचस्प वृत्तान्त है तो इतिहास, संस्कृति और मानवशास्त्र जैसे विषयों के अध्येताओं के लिए भी अत्यन्त महत्त्वपूर्ण जानकारी।

राहुल सांकृत्यायन राहुल सांकृत्यायन का जन्म उत्तर प्रदेश के आजमगढ़ जिले के पन्दहा गाँव में 9 अप्रैल, 1893 को हुआ था। मूर्धन्य और अन्तरराष्ट्रीय ख्यातिप्राप्त विद्वान राहुल सांकृत्यायन साधु, बौद्ध भिक्षु थे, यायावर थे, इतिहासकार और पुरातत्त्ववेत्ता थे, नाटककार और कथाकार थे। वे जुझारू स्वतंत्रता-सेनानी, किसान-नेता, जन-जन के प्रिय नेता भी थे। उन्होंने धर्म, संस्कृति, दर्शन, विज्ञान, समाज, राजनीति, इतिहास, पुरातत्त्व, भाषा-शास्त्र, संस्कृत ग्रंथों की टीकाएँ, अनुवाद और इसके साथ-साथ रचनात्मक लेखन करके हिन्दी को इतना कुछ दिया कि हम सदियों तक उस पर गर्व कर सकते हैं। उन्होंने जीवनियाँ और संस्मरण भी लिखे और अपनी आत्मकथा भी। अनेक दुर्लभ पांडुलिपियों की खोज और संग्रहण के लिए व्यापक भ्रमण भी किया। उनकी प्रमुख कृतियाँ हैं—‘वोल्गा से गंगा’, ‘घुमक्कड़-शास्त्र’, ‘मेरी तिब्बत यात्रा’, ‘मेरी यूरोप यात्रा’, ‘किन्नर देश में’, ‘मध्य एसिया का इतिहास’, ‘मानव समाज’, ‘वैज्ञानिक भौतिकवाद’, ‘दर्शन दिग्दर्शन’, ‘राहुल वाङ्मय’। उन्हें 1958 में ‘मध्य एसिया का इतिहास’ के लिए ‘साहित्य अकादेमी पुरस्कार’ से पुरस्कृत किया गया। भारत सरकार ने 1963 में उन्हें ‘पद्म भूषण’ से अलंकृत किया। 14 अप्रैल, 1963 को उनका निधन हुआ।
