This book was written when the fog of secrecy was cleared by the march of military boots of the English and much was written and analysed about Lahsa. With Lhasa, however, this book has little to do. Its intention is to illustrate, to some extent, the sequence of explorations in that great wilderness of snowy and inhospitable altitudes for beyond Lhasa, and may, it is hoped, serve as a small tribute to the memory of great achievements. It is a compilation of adventure that is much varied and, all sources be it Persian, American, Italian, Indian, French, Swedish and English. Starting with the earliest travels, this book discuss the travels and invasions by various routes of the Mugals, the Jesuits, the native Pundits and other early 20th century explorations.20th century - Twentieth century
