Sikkim and Bhutan

Having spent more than twenty years on the North East Frontier in the administration as well as the political charge of the little known state of Sikkim and the even lesser known state of Bhutan and having visited and observed almost every corner of the beautiful mountain countries of Sikkim and Bhutan with their heterogeneous population of Lepchas, Bhutias, Tibetans, Bhutanese and Paharias, the learnea author has put down his knowledge and experiences in print.
Hidden amidst stupendous mountains and valleys, slumbering in the magnificent forests and rivers engulfed in everlasting snow and glaciers, beyond the staid and familiar world lies another world-unknown and mysterious. The author penetrates into the very heart of this world and brings to light the minutest details of the lands of Sikkim and Bhutan. The geographical position and general features of the states, the people, the expeditions and explorations in Sikkim, the history of the foundry of Bhutan, the British missions to Bhutan, the British relations with Bhutan from 1772, foreign relations with Bhutan, and the arts and industries of Sikkim and Bhutan, their laws the laws and marriage customs of Sikkim, a list of some of the principal fauna & flora to be found in these countries and their habitat. In itself, a complete account of the authors missions and explorations in the beautiful and interesting country, this work is undisputedly a master piece.
