Softbound. Etat : New. Third, revised, edition. Originally published in German in 1938 and in English in 1939, this account was written by two geologists whose eight months journey in the Himalayas took them through the then "forbidden" lands of Nepal and Tibet, culminating at Mt. Kailas, 'The Throne of The Gods'. Apart form their geological studies, altitudes were measured by using barometric observations.

The return journey included a visit to the source of the Ganges. A wealth of period photos and maps makes this book a valuable resource for naturalists, geologists and mountaineers.
