In 1908, Belgian explorer Jacques Lesdain embarked on an epic journey through some of the most challenging and remote regions of Asia. In this compelling travelogue, he details his experiences traveling from Pekin (Beijing) to Sikkim, including his encounters with the local people, his observations of the landscape and environment, and his insights into the complex history and culture of the region. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of Asia or the challenges of exploring remote and hostile environments.
