"To Lhassa at Last" by Powell Millington is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the experiences of the author and his companions as they embark on an expedition to the remote city of Lhassa in Tibet, capturing the blend of adventure, historical context, and personal reflections throughout their journey. The opening of this account introduces the author as he reflects on his domestic life before receiving the unexpected telegram that orders him to Tibet, disrupting his peaceful leave with family. He describes the hurried preparations needed for his departure and humorously contrasts the idyllic life of a bank clerk with the chaotic nature of a military officer's duties. The tone is lively and observational, hinting at the rich tapestry of experiences that will unfold as the expedition progresses, ranging from the strenuous physical challenges to cultural encounters along the way.
