This is a classic journey of Tibetan exploration and it won for Bailey, discoverer of the Blue Poppy, the Royal Geographical Societys Gold Medal. On this journey, he discovered many wonders, the great peak of Gyala Peri, the pathetic colony of Tibetans who had failed to find the Glass Mountains and were being picked off by savage neighbours, the Yigrong flood which swept dead Tibetans even into the tea gardens of Assam, to say nothing of a featherless parrot which said, Om Mane Padme Hum.
