New Budget Guidebook to the Tibetan World
This extraordinary new budget guide to the Tibetan world comes with over 280 tried and tested maps covering the entire region. These will take you on a tour of the Jokhang or the Potala Palace in the sacred city of Lhasa or travel with you as you tackle the ultimate pilgrimage to sacred Mt. Kailash, source of Asia's great rivers. To get a feel of ancient Tibetan culture outside of Tibet, why not journey to the isolated "Dragon Kingdom" of Bhutan or trek to Everest base camp in the Nepalese Himalayas. The Tibetan way of life is also alive and well in the Indian towns of Leh, Dharamsala, Darjeeling, and Gangtok and this book takes you to them all.
