Journey to the Forbidden City

It was next to impossible for a white man to enter this territory. And so was chosen an intrepid Indian explorer from the mountains of Kumaon-Nain Singh Rawat. Trekking across this country, he risked life and limb and donned innumerable clever disguises as he surveyed the vast expanses and identified countless villages and people. His eventful and often arduous travels led to his name being permanently engraved in the annals of Indian exploration.
