In the following pages, I have endeavored to present a faithful sketch of a series of travels made by me in such truly romantic countries as Tibet, Sikkim, Nepal etc. It is needless perhaps to say that this little book has not been written for the scholar, but solely for those jaded men and women who love reading stories of adventure and distant lands. To all such I commend the work for what it is worth.
