Sikhim and Bhutan - Twenty-one Years on the North-East Frontier 1887-1908 (Paperback)

Set in the period just after the First Indian War of independence (Sepoy Mutiny) when the British Raj had been firmly established in India J Claude White describes in detail his experiences in the Eastern Himalayan states of Sikkim and Bhutan. These experiences cover an almost twenty-year period from 1881 when he first arrived in Darjeeling until the end of the nineteenth century. This is a book that deals so well with these little known regions of the Himalaya.
