My Journey to Lhasa

My Journey to Lhasa

Alexandra David-Néel disguised herself as a Tibetan beggar and walked to Lhasa in 1924 — the first European woman to enter the forbidden city. The journey took four months on foot through some of the most dangerous terrain in Asia. Fearless doesn't begin to cover it.
