Detailed Product Description
London, 1957, TBC edition. 294 pp, ill. This 1913 expedition proved that the Tsangpo River of Tibet and the Brahmaputra of India are the same river, which was one of the great questions of geography at the time. Concealed in its descent of over 8,000 feet to the plains of Assam is a waterfall as high and splendid as Niagara.
 
The Indian explorer Kintup reported falls 150 feet high; but no European had ever seen them. After an unsuccesful attempt in 1911, Captain Bailey set out with Captain H.T. Morshead in 1913. They had no official sanction of the Government of India or permission from the Tibetan Government. Having solved the mystery of the falls, the two explorers pursued their journey, mapping the uncharted frontier of Tibet.  DJ, Fine.
