With over 280 highly detailed, tried and tested maps, this is an excellent source of travel information to the Himalayas and all of Tibet, not just the TAR. It is a complete travel guide that provides the information needed for economic yet exciting visits to this region.

"Tibet-bound travelers will find no better guide than Mapping the Tibetan World. Published in Japan, this English-language guidebook is both a solid travel guidebook and introduction to the Tibetan culture. Packed with useful maps and aimed specifically to the budget traveler, this is a must-have if you're seeing Tibet."--Big World Magazine

"This guidebook is a perfect travel companion for anyone journeying in the Tibetosphere."--The Nepali Times(the leading English-language newspaper in Nepal)

"Indispensable for the serious traveler who wishes to understand the extent and diversity of the Tibetan World."--Travel Officer, Australia Tibet Council

"Although this book has about 300 very detailed maps--everything from a map of the Potala Palace to downtown Chen-du--it is essentially a travel guide rather than a history of mapping the Tibetan region...pages are filled with practical tourist information, basic tours, very detailed instructions and plentiful photos."--Library Journal

"A little gem of a guide, this book gives excellent synopses that help one prepare for a trip to the Himalayan region."--Shambhala Sun

"Until now there has been a real lack of hard factual information on areas outside of Lhasa and the Friendship Highway. This superlative guidebook will literally save months of research in planning expeditions. With almost 300 detailed maps, the majority newly drawn for this project, the level of detail is outstanding. It will become the 'Bible' for independent travel in the region. Laminate your copy against the rigours of the Tibetan road now!"--Free Tibet Campaign

"This is a highly comprehensive publication with all the latest information, covering even the remotest areas with helpful costings to facilitate a reasonably accurate budget."--Tibet Society
