N1  - The countries described in this charming travel-book are situated in the Eastern Himalayas, on the northern borders of Bengal. The President of the Royal Geographical Society is an artist with his pen, as well as a scientific explorer and a famous administrator, and his descriptions of the scenery are vivid and well-composed pictures. This is indeed a wonderful travel book, for not only does it take us to landscapes as strange as the Moon's may be, but also explores the highest altitudes attained by man's winged will. The thunderbolt is known in the Himalayas as the Vajra or Dorje. It is an unusual elongated bell-shaped vessel whose configuration belies its strength in the hearts of the Himalayan people;  Includes bibliographical references and index
