TOPIC: Tibet

Tibet
Tibet was shut off from the West for a very long time and entry to the kingdom was strictly forbidden. What was it really like and what attracted those many freelance explorers who attempted to smuggle themselves in to Lhasa? How did Tibet come to be a short-lived British territory and what happened after the Chinese took over in 1950 and why are they so interested in it? A little bit of history, a fair bit of derring do and quite a bit of Geography in this one.
