«Tibetan Foothold» is Dervla Murphy's travelogue, published by Flamingo in paperback (240 pages, in English).
In July 1963 Dervla Murphy arrives by bicycle in Delhi and, as the heat prevents continuing the journey until November, she works in Tibetan refugee camps in northern India. From her diaries emerges daily life in the camps, with hundreds of children, few volunteers and scarce resources, and her encounter with the Dalai Lama.
Work originally published by John Murray in 1966; this 2000 Flamingo reissue includes a new epilogue and index.
For readers of travel and memoirs, with an interest in India, Tibet and the refugee situation.
Dervla Murphy was an Irish touring cyclist and author of adventure travel books, writing for more than 50 years.
