Good condition overall.; 2nd edition of 5000 copies; The author, an American from Berkeley, California, began traveling in Europe at an early age. When she was twenty she took a six month trip around the world which started her interest in the Orient. This was augmented by much reading during the years when her children were growing up and she could not travel. She first visited Nepal in 1956 an at once fell in love with the people and the scenery. She has returned to Nepal several times over the years, on one visit spending a year as a volunteer at Shanta Bhawan Hospital. On these visits she found that visitors sometimes left Kathmandu without any real understanding of Nepali culture and without seeing some of the most beautiful works of art because they could find no adequate guidebook. Finally, she decided to write the book herself. By following the book tourists can enjoy a little, the life and customs of the people, learn some of their legends and beliefs, and visit outstanding ancient and modern works of art..
