About this title

From the Back Cover:

Tibet, the Forbidden Kingdom, Shangri-La, The Land of Snows, is here revealed in all its beauty, magic, and mystery. This completely revised and updated edition of the award-winning Tibet Guide contains an illustrated iconographical guide, a phrase book, and a glossary of terms. Lavishly illustrated with color photographs, maps, monastery floor plans, and rare photos of historic places as they once were, The Tibet Guide provides answers to questions about travel logistics as well as explanations of the history, politics, and Buddhist culture of Tibet. A treasure for actual and "armchair" travelers alike, this definitive guide to Tibet, past and present, supplies detailed, practical advice on how to get the most out of both real and imagined trips to the Roof of the World.
