His three-year visit coincided with the turbulent period when revolution broke out in Nepal and Tibet was conquered by Red China. In this account of his travels he describes his experiences and gives much new and fascinating information about the people he was living among. He met lamas and explorers, princes and adventurers, saints and ministers. He visited Bhutan, which has been penetrated by only a dozen Europeans in the 12 centuries of its history... He witnessed the extraordinary trance of an "oracle priest"' the mystical marathon run b the Yogis every 12 years; and a royal Sikkimese wedding, at which the weather-makers produced torrents of rain by mistake..."
