Product Description
Tibet is the cultural heart of inner Asia and the highest region on earth. This updated handbook has details of the entire country, including the provinces of Kham and Amdo. It aims to give insight into Tibet and the mountain kingdom of Bhutan, with the access points for travellers from Kathmandu and China. Practical information is included on the five "gateway" cities including Kathmandu. The book is part of an award-winning series of handbooks which are regularly updated. They are designed for all travellers, whatever their age or budget, and are edited by experienced and energetic travellers.
From the Publisher
This is one of our best selling guides. Not surprising as the author is just so knowledgeable. It appears that this skill could be spreading to his family. This new second edition is dedicated to Gyurme's daughter who, at the age of four months, recently accompanied him on an extensive 4,000km expedition through Amdo, Golok and Gyarong!
