With its 1100 pages and the 250 maps it is the most extensive travel guide about Tibet. It has a excellent descriptions of treks. This is probably the best book to buy for an in-depth look into the culture of Tibet and to get the most of your travel to this wonderful and mysterious country. Victor Chan has covered 42,000 kilometers in Tibet by foot, truck, bus, horse, yak, and coracle. His book includes an introductory course to spoken Tibetan, essays on Tibetan Buddhism and concepts of pilgrimage and art, practical travel information, and itineraries to such destinations as the 7th century burial grounds in the Valley of the Kings at Chougye, and the 11th century Xixiar Pala murals at Dranang, long thought lost to the world. This is the most authorative sourcebook on one of the world's most remote and fascinating destinations.
