About this book

An Unfrequented Highway: Through Sikkim and Tibet to Chumolaori

Author: John Easton

Year: 1928

Easton’s travel account charts a little-trodden route from Sikkim into Tibet, culminating at the Himalayan peak of Chumolaori. He describes nineteenth-twenties frontier geography, the Teesta Valley, the Chumbi Valley and the Donkhia passes, blending personal adventure, colonial era insight and vivid landscape description. The book provides rare early observational detail of the Sikkim-Tibet borderlands and the cultures encountered along the way.
