  1. Sudhanshu Yadav –

    A must-read for anyone interested in Tibetan history. Bishop’s journey is incredible, but her biases are apparent.

  2. Mrinmay Saha –

    A mixed bag. The descriptions of the landscape are beautiful, but the author’s tone can be off-putting.

  3. Nishit Kumar –

    A great historical account of Tibet. Bishop’s courage is inspiring, despite some outdated opinions.

  4. Harsh Kumar –

    It was insightful but I wish there was less of the author’s personal opinion and more objective observations.

  5. Shivam Dhiman –

    I loved traveling through Tibet with Isabella! Her descriptions are so vivid. Some parts felt a bit dated, but overall a great read.

  6. Ranjeet Singh Surjeet –

    This book transported me to another world! Some of her views are of the time, but the journey is amazing.

  7. N Vinay Kumar Reddy –

    An interesting travelogue, although sometimes slow-paced. Bishop’s observations of Tibetan culture are insightful.

  8. Shyam Sundar Mishra –

    Although the writing wasn’t the best I’ve ever read, I enjoyed the look at the historical perspective.

  9. Sagar Kumar –

    What an amazing adventure! It really opened my eyes to this culture, even with the historical lens.

  10. Himanshu Tyagi –

    While informative, I found Bishop’s writing style a bit dry. The cultural insights are valuable, though.

  11. Anant Kumar Singh –

    A good read if you are interested in old travel stories. The information within is a valuable find.

  12. Bhavya Goel –

    I enjoyed learning about Tibetan culture in the th century. Bishop’s book is a valuable historical document.

  13. Soumik Goswami –

    A fascinating glimpse into old Tibet, but Bishop’s perspective is very colonial. Still worth reading for the historical detail.
