Transhimalaja: Löytöjä ja seikkailuja Tibetissä. 2 (of 2)

A first-person travel narrative of crossings and explorations across the Transhimalayan highlands, recording routes over passes, prolonged storms, and difficult marches. The account combines geographic observation of plateaus, rivers and lakes including investigations of river sources, with detailed descriptions of monasteries, ritual life and meetings with senior lamas, including ceremonial exchanges and interior temple architecture. Ethnographic and archaeological notes on villages, local customs and material culture alternate with practical expedition details about guides, supplies and navigation. Vivid landscape portraiture and reflective passages on sacred sites and natural forces unify the travelogue.
