Tibet and Nepal

A.H. Savage Landor recounts his travel experiences across Tibet and Nepal. The book opens with the author stating why he chose to embark on such an expedition and how he went about recruiting his team. The work is dotted with incidents and challenges that Landor had encountered and thus, this travelogue makes for an interesting and am¬using read, as he has been quite candid in his expressions and descriptions. Also, he makes no effort to hide his own inadequacies, fears, and worries. In addition to narrating his journey, he has also described the local population, their physical features and mentality, culinary habits, customs, games, the villages, flora and fauna, lamas and monasteries, and even dogs. We read of altitude sickness, avalanches, hostilities, and hindrances that he faced from the political entities, and administra-tion, as well as the local populace.
