Summary: "A Journey to Katmandu (the Capital of Nepaul), with the Camp of Jung Bahadoor" by Laurence Oliphant is a travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. This book chronicles the author's adventures accompanying the Nepaulese ambassador, Jung Bahadoor, on a journey through Nepal and provides insights into the culture, geography, and political climate of the region during that era. The narrative is likely to appeal to readers interested in historical travel accounts and explorations of the lesser-known territories of the British Empire. At the start of the journey, the reader is introduced to Jung Bahadoor, who arrives in Ceylon as the Nepaulese ambassador and bears a letter from the Queen of England. The narrative offers a vivid description of his arrival and the author's subsequent invitation to accompany him to Katmandu. The opening portion depicts the pomp of the ambassador's presence, the author's reflections on his luxurious lifestyle, and their travels through India, including stops in Colombo, Calcutta, and Benares. As they navigate these locales, the author highlights the contrasts between Western civilization and the semi-barbarous nature of Nepali society, setting the stage for a richly detailed account of their journey into the Himalayan kingdom.
