Book Reviews of Mapping the Tibetan World
Book Review: A must for a tibet traveller
Summary: 5 Stars
We spent a month in Tibet and that included more than 2000 miles overland across the tibetan plateau from Lhasa to Mt Kailash and back. This book was a continous companion of mine and I have to admit I have never come across a better guidebook while I travelled to other continents. You will not realize it till you look back at those amazing weeks and the tattered book of yours, to realize that how much you referred to it. The guys who wrote it, please accept my hearty congratulations. You have done a phenomenal job. just one minor suggestion. I have yet to come across a tibetan guidebook that recommends wearing masks or carrying them. Once you are out in the open desert in a 4x4, unless you have a mask, 2 weeks of exposure would lead to nose-bleed due to dry air and continuous dust dumped into your 4x4 (at least it did in my case- call me a pansy :-)
