About this book
Sarat Chandra Das, of the Bengal Educational Service, is the author of Journey to Lhasa and Central Tibet, edited by the Hon. W. W. Rockhill. The introduction says that Sarat Chandra Das was born in the town of Chittagong, in Eastern Bengal, in 1849, and received his education in the Presidency College at Calcutta.
The account says the way led through the village of Tale to the Ringbi river, a stream as rapid as the Kalai, which was crossed by some bamboos laid side by side where the river was narrowest. The account also tells of a well-informed Nyingma lama, the manager of Palri kusho’s estate near Panam Jong, who put up at the house where Ugyen was stopping. The account says the period of summer retirement for monks came to an end and was observed as a holiday by the people, with racing and other sports and all the people bathing together in the Nyang chu.
