About the Book

: This book deals chiefly with the author's adventures during a journey taken in Tibet in 1897 when that country, owing to religious fanaticism, was closed to strangers. For the scientific results of the expedition, for the detailed description of the customs, manners, etc., of the people, the larger work entitled In the Forbidden Land (Harper & Brothers, publishers) by the same author should be consulted. High mountain ranges bound the Tibetan plateau on all sides. The highest is the Himalaya range to the south, the loftiest mountain range on earth. My provisions had been specially prepared for me and were suited to the severe climate and the high elevations I should find myself in. We went through the ancient Gorkha town of Pithoragarh, with its old fort. Several days later, I visited the old Rajah of Askote, one of the finest princes Northern India then possessed. I went to see the Raots, a strange race of savages living secluded from everybody in the forest. In a work called In the Forbidden Land, a detailed description will be found of my experiences with those strange people, and also of our long marches through that beautiful region of the lower Himalayas. About The Author: Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1865–1924) was a multifaceted English individual, known for his pursuits as a painter, explorer, writer, and anthropologist.

At the age of fifteen, Landor embarked on a journey to Paris, where he enrolled at the Academie Julian, under the guidance of Gustave Boulanger and Jules Lefebvre. Subsequently, he embarked on extensive travels across the globe, visiting countries such as America, Japan, and Korea, capturing various landscapes and portraits through his paintings. Upon his return to England, he was honored with an invitation to Balmoral by Queen Victoria, where he shared his adventures and showcased his artwor
