Among The Tibetans

Bag om Among The Tibetans

This little-known gem by the doyenne of women travellers in the Far East describes a journey on horseback through the Himalayas and into Tibet, where she spent four months. Taking to the Tibetans whom she found '"the pleasantest of people," Bird's is a delightful account of a land of beauty and mystery, encircled by high mountains of vermilion and purple. Among the most striking passages are those that describe the religion of Tibet, which permeated the very atmosphere with a singular sense of the strange and otherworldly. Bird visited palaces, temples and monasteries and her descriptions of the ceremonies, decorations, costumes, and music capture a world that is now lost to us.
