Opis
Appointed as the Political Officer in administrative charge of Sikkim and later of Bhutan, by the British Indian government, White's account covers his official activities, interactions with people from diverse backgrounds – both maharajas and common folk – and his explorations, making this book a fascinating read.
White's expeditions on both glacial and non-existent road tracks, through snowstorm and blizzard, witnessing avalanches, crossing wobbly cane bridges, and to the Tatshang Monastery in Paro -- more famous as the Tiger’s Nest – are invigorating and thrilling. White has also given detailed and rich descriptions of monasteries, forts, castles and hamlets; the people and their life; and political events like the Delhi Durbar.
The slightly damaged copy.
