| Title: A Stranger in Tibet: The Adventures of a Zen Monk |
| Author: Scott Berry |
| Edition Year: 1990 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Travel and Treks |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: On 4 July 1900, a young Japanese monk named Kawaguchi Ekai crossed the border from Nepal to Tibet. Already the first of his race to enter that isolated, mysterious country, he went on to become the first outsider to reach the forbidden city of Lhasa. Though he had mastered the Tibetan language and was able to travel in disguise, this unlikely and highly idiosyncratic explorer was otherwise woefully ill-equipped, yet somehow he overcame robbery, starvation, freezing conditions, illness and an appalling sense of direction. By the end of his remarkable journey he had gained a reputation as a doctor, studied at the ancient university of Sera and met the Dalai Lama himself, while keeping his identity secret for over a year. |

| Title: Hindu-Koh: Wanderings and Wild Sport on and Beyond the Himalayas |
| Author: Donald Macintyre |
| Edition Year: 1993 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Travel and Treks |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: The subject of Himalayan travel and sports is now so old a story, that an attempt to create further interest in it is an almost hopeless undertaking, especially for one who has been more accustomed to handling the mountain-staff than the pen. But old though it be, the field it embraces is so vast, that it may still afford scope for variety even should it lack originality. The following pages, however, are in nowise embellished with a vein of romance, which, whilst perhaps rendering a narrative of this kind more attractive to the general reader, is apt to give a fanciful and overdrawn picture of the reality. |

The Taj Mahal is a difficult building to comprehend. It is the only substantial monument to a woman who was not also a ruler anywhere in the world. It was erected to honour a woman we scarcely know, in part of the world where women were and are still subservient. |

| Title: Inside the Treasure House : A Time in Tibet |
| Author: Catrion Bass |
| Edition Year: 1990 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Travel and Treks |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Tibet is still Shangri-La to many Europeans, and even in Chinese its literal meaning is The Treasure House. But modern Tibet is a harsh place. Harsh not only for Tibetans, for the Chinese as well. For thirty years the world was barred from this remote land. When in 1985 the authorities began dismantling the barricades, Catriona Bass was one of the first of a handful of westerners to live and work there. She took part in the religious festivals banned for many years. She was there when, for the first time, the Jokhang Temple echoed with the call of the conch as two thousand monks gathered for the ceremonies of Monlam. But even more revealing was her experience of daily life. |
