Description

About The Book: In this book, Lieutenant Colonel Laurence Austine Waddell reflects on his experiences in Central Tibet. He describes his fascination with the land, its people, and the mysteries surrounding it. After visiting Burma, he was stationed in Darjeeling, where he encountered Tibetans and learned about their culture. He became determined to unlock the secrets of Tibet and its religion, undertaking language study and collecting information. Waddell embarked on journeys along the Tibetan frontier, gathering knowledge about the region's tribes, geography, and natural history. Despite a failed attempt to reach Lhasa in 1892, he eventually achieved his dream. This book includes his personal photographs and unique insights into Tibetan culture, myths, and customs, aided by his prior preparation.
