Travels Through Sinkiang and Tibet
Hitch-hiking, walking, slogging through rivers and across leech-ridden hills, Vikram Seth travelled through Sinkiang and Tibet to Nepal: from Heaven Lake to the Himalayas. By breaking away from the reliable routes of organised travel, he transformed his journey into an unusual and intriguing exploration of one of the world's least known areas.
' (From Heaven Lake) has a charming timelessness, not simply due to the people on its pages but because it always rings true.'
Financial Express
'Delightfully written and observed, a worthy successor to the accounts of the Victorian explorers and missionaries who tried to reach Lhasa nearly a century ago. I found it hard to put down.'
Peter Hopkirk of The Times on BBC Radio
'Utterly convincing and unlike other recent accounts of Tibetrevealing...the most engaging and unexpected travel book of the year.'
Sunday Telegraph
'The perfect travel book.'
New Statesman
'The best writer of his generation.'

I read a travelogue after some time. The book is quite well written with descriptions giving you a real travel experience. Subtle human nature and goodness is potrayed with exquisite appeal. The political and socia systems of India and China are also touched well without giving the colur of a political thought. By the time I finished I could reach a stage of oneness with the author.
