Synopsis
Try My Journey to Lhasa for a fascinating read from Alexandra David-Néel. This is a 1923 travelogue that personally recounts the adventure of the first western woman to enter the forbidden city of Lhasa in Tibet. From dangerous hikes to yak-hair disguises, diseases, and near-starvation, this French scholar survived the perilous journey and was officially received by the Dalai Lama - an inspiration for men and women, alike.
