Footprint Tibet Handbook with Bhutan
by Gyurme Dorje

From the Footprint Handbooks series.

Roof of the world, bastion of Mahayana Buddhism and custodian of a sophisticated literary heritage which proudly rivals those of India and China, the land-locked Tibetan Plateau is as vast as Western Europe yet sparsely populated. Its rivers, however, sustain billions inhabiting the neighbouring South and East Asian plains. Modern Tibet has many attractions for visitors, despite, and perhaps on account of, its status as an occupied country. The mountainous terrain of the plateau presents the ultimate challenge for climbers, trekkers and adventurers. The power places and monasteries, sanctified by centuries of consummate meditation, inspire Buddhist pilgrims from all corners of the earth. The courage, resolve and robust humour of the Tibetan people, determined to maintain their traditions in the face of alien cultural values imposed upon them against their will, command the respect and concern of an impotent international community who bear witness to their dilemma.

Special Features: Foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
