This books gives a great overview of Himalayan exploration, cultural aspects, and an understanding of the tribes of the region. Reading about explorers being thrown into a pit of tigers amongst other weirdness is quite entertaining. A nice selection of historic photos also accompanies the text. Recommended if you have a library of books on this region. I bought this book over 20 years ago and would never loan it out to anybody.
