''Tibet and Nepal'' is a travelogue written by Arnold Henry Savage Landor, first published in 1905. The book details the author’s journey through Tibet and Nepal in the early 20th century, during a time when these regions were largely inaccessible to Western travelers. Landor provides a vivid account of his experiences, including encounters with local people, descriptions of the landscape, and observations about the culture and customs of the people he meets. The book is illustrated with numerous photographs taken by Landor himself, which provide a unique glimpse into the daily life of the people of Tibet and Nepal at the turn of the century. The author’s passion for exploration and adventure is evident throughout the book, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in travel, history, or cultural anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
