What reading level is Western Tibet And the British Borderland: the Sacred Country of Hindus And Buddhists, With An ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is impossible to go to Gartok by the best and shortest routes without passing by places which are viewed by the Hindu as exceedingly holy. Kailas, " the heaven of Shiva," and the Mansa- rowar Lake appeal to him as Mecca does to the Moslem.
A pilgrimage to these most holy places has been, up to the present time, a practical impossibility for the ordinary Hindu. Fakirs up to the number of a hundred and fifty, or so, annually face the rigours of the passes and the inhospitality of the Tibetans,... and when the " Kumb " Mela takes place once in every twelve years this number swells to four hundred ; but the ordinary pilgrim, who will willingly venture to the Badrinath and Kedarnath temples, finds his heart sink within him, when he contemplates the inclemency of the country and the people where are situated those places which to him are objects of the greatest veneration. What- ever else has been accomplished by the Treaty of Lhasa, free ingress into Tibet is vouchsafed to every Hindu and a reasonable prospect of safety to his person and property, for up till now there has been a death penalty on the headman of any village who allows an European or native of India to enter Tibet.
