An Unfrequented Highway Through Sikkim And Tibet To Chumolaori

About the Book:-The book is an account of travelogue which undertaken around the 1920. The journey through the plains of Bengal has been hot, dirty and tedious: the scenery monotonous: unbroken plains of cultivated land and paddy fields, with an occasional mud village or group of arms: colourless save when the sun rises or sets: telling no tale except at Paksey, where the Ganges sweeps on its turbulent course. Darjeeling and British Bhutan are districts of Bengal. They lie side by side and together comprise a strip of territory fifty miles broad and twenty miles deep snatched from the State of Sikkim to afford a haven for wearied officials and a prosperous corner for the tea-planting community. From Kalimpong the road climbs northeast through Sikkim for fifty miles to the Tibetan passes of the Donkhia range, where one crosses the frontier; thence it descends into the Chumbi valley, and continues north-eastwards a further fifty miles to the Tableland of Tibet. Easterns account is not a political or commercial one, but one that describes the daily delights and toils of a pleasure excursion into Sikkim and Tibet. Armed with two boxes of food, two valises, two cameras and two glare googles, he and his companion Dr. Bishop, launched themselves into a journey primarily to escape the hot and stuffy plains of Bengal. The photographs illustrating this book are his work, and are an earnest of his knowledge of the frontier. About the Author:-John Easton was a scholar, noted author and historian.
