To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are soon ready for a start upon the most intensly interesting ride that it has ever been my fortune to take. There now remained a little over fifty miles of distance to Darjeeling. One fourth of this is through jungle and forest before the ascent really begins ; then in the next thirty miles we must rise seven thousand four hundred feet and then descend four hundred in the latter part of our journey. As we begin to rise, we are impressed with the grandeur of the heights that tower overhead. ...But we soon find that these were all low foot-hills, and having mounted them, there are others like them still be- 182 FROM MADRAS TO THE III 31 AL AY AS.
fore us ; and these being at last beneath us, we are almost awestricken to see yet grander heights, and to be told that we must gain not only those but others be^^ond.
The government road from Sikkim to Thibet is followed very closely, though when the grade becomes too steep for the engine, detours are made for loops, switchbacks, tunnels, and The Darjeeling Railway.
