This new, thoroughly updated edition of Bradt's Tibet encompasses
the wider region of ethnic Tibet with more detailed coverage of the
Amdo and Kham regions than is found in other guides. It also
includes essential information on new border openings and is
particularly strong on map data, which is extremely difficult to
find in Tibet itself, including new theme maps covering a range of
topics, from Tibetan regions to the Three Parallel Rivers UN World
Heritage Sites, sacred landscapes, permafrost and major river
sources. Bradt's Tibet benefits from years of consistent research.
Michael Buckley has been visiting and researching Tibet for more
than 30 years and has a raft of books to his name. Thanks to his
knowledge and expertise, Bradt's Tibet offers a more extensive
language appendix than is found in other guidebooks, plus essential
guidelines on cultural etiquette (including a special section on
hand gestures to use), local customs and travelling with minimum
impact on Tibet's culture and environment. There is also an
appendix on fauna and an extensive list of recommended further
resources, including books, music, films and even virtual reality
Exploring ethnic Tibet independently is a challenge. The 'land of
snows' possesses the world's highest peaks (including Everest) and
its deepest gorges as well as some of the wildest and roughest road
routes in high Asia. Bradt's Tibet provides all the practical
information you need to explore ethnic Tibet independently, whether
motoring, mountain-biking or trekking. Tibet has always fascinated
travellers and armchair travellers because it is so difficult to
access due to its remoteness and extreme altitude. Now, under
Chinese rule, Tibet is a sensitive destination for Westerners.
Visitors needs all the information that they can lay their hands
on-and this guidebook provides plenty. With flight routes and rail
access to Tibet expanding, and new border crossings opening,
Michael Buckley and Bradt's Tibet provide all of the information
you need to make the most of a trip.
