5.0 out of 5 stars Alec Le Sueur's favourite Tibet book!, December 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Trekking in Tibet (Paperback)

There are so many books written on Tibet that it's really hard to choose which one is suitable for the armchair read or to take with you when travelling. Having spent five years living in Lhasa and read everything available, I can say that this is the most useful book there is. Practical maps are given for every trek, detailed explanations of what you will find enroute and really useful Tibetan phrases for trekkers such as 'Does this dog bite?' and 'Drink tea!' (If you've been to Tibet you'll know these are important phrases!) Every possible trip is covered, from day excursions into the hills around Lhasa to longer treks in the Everest Base Camp area. I hope you'll have as much fun reading it as I have. Alec
