Exploring ethnic Tibet independently is a challenge. The proverbial \'land of snows\', it possesses some of the wildest and roughest road routes in high Asia, and so trekking, motoring and mountain-biking are all covered in this new edition. Political and cultural issues make Tibet a sensitive destination for Westerners to visit, so Michael Buckley\'s advice includes guidelines on cultural etiquette, local customs and travelling with minimum impact on Tibet\'s culture and environment.
