About the Book
This fascinating work on the explanation of Tibet, illustrating the sequence of exploration of 'that great wilderness of stony and inhospitable altitudes which lie far beyond Lhasa'. After briefly outlining Tibet's historical and geographical evolution, Holdich records the exploration of Tibet from the mogul exploration of Tibet from Mogul invasion through to the 1903-04 British Expedition led by Younghusband. Although undated, the book was published just after the 1904 expedition.
