Product Description
Book Description
With a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, this is the only guide to cover the whole of Tibet, including the eastern provinces of Kham and Amdo. It has been written by a leading Tibetan expert.
From the Publisher
This is one of our best selling guides. Not surprising as the author is just so knowledgeable. It appears that this skill could be spreading to his family. This new second edition is dedicated to Gyurme's daughter who, at the age of four months, recently accompanied him on an extensive 4,000km expedition through Amdo, Golok and Gyarong!
