Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had planned to escape from India during the war, but the war suddenly began, and I was taken prisoner. I was then transferred to another camp. With the help of like-minded companions, I collected compasses, money, and maps. #2 We were transferred to another camp in India, and this time we were transported by rail to the biggest POW camp in India. The conditions at the camp changed completely, and we had the Himalayas right in front of us. We thought about escaping over the passes to Tibet. #3 I had originally intended to escape alone, so that I wouldn’t have to consider a companion. But one day, my friend Rolf Magener told me that an Italian general had the same intentions as myself. We quickly joined forces on the basis that I would be responsible for all the planning, and he for the money and equipment. #4 I was often sent out to gather information for the escape plan, and I learned how to climb over the camp’s outer fence and into Marchese’s wing. I cut the wires, and we escaped into the jungle.

Book Description
This new, thoroughly updated edition of Bradt's Tibet encompasses the wider region of ethnic Tibet with more detailed coverage of the Amdo and Kham regions than is found in other guides. It also includes essential information on new border openings and is particularly strong on map data, which is extremely difficult to find in Tibet itself, including new theme maps covering a range of topics, from Tibetan regions to the Three Parallel Rivers UN World Heritage Sites, sacred landscapes, permafrost and major river sources. Bradt's Tibet benefits from years of consistent research. Michael Buckley has been visiting and researching Tibet for more than 30 years and has a raft of books to his name. Thanks to his knowledge and expertise, Bradt's Tibet offers a more extensive language appendix than is found in other guidebooks, plus essential guidelines on cultural etiquette (including a special section on hand gestures to use), local customs and travelling with minimum impact on Tibet's culture and environment. There is also an appendix on fauna and an extensive list of recommended further resources, including books, music, films and even virtual reality Exploring ethnic Tibet independently is a challenge. The 'land of snows' possesses the world's highest peaks (including Everest) and its deepest gorges as well as some of the wildest and roughest road routes in high Asia. Bradt's Tibet provides all the practical information you need to explore ethnic Tibet independently, whether motoring, mountain-biking or trekking. Tibet has always fascinated travellers and armchair travellers because it is so difficult to access due to its remoteness and extreme altitude. Now, under Chinese rule, Tibet is a sensitive destination for Westerners. Visitors needs all the information that they can lay their hands on-and this guidebook provides plenty. With flight routes and rail access to Tibet expanding, and new border crossings opening, Michael Buckley and Bradt's Tibet provide all of the information you need to make the most of a trip.
