What reading level is The Unveiling of Lhasa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the road from Kamparab to Phari one day, three mules f eU over a cliff into a snowdrift, and were almost totally submerged. Their drivers could not puU them out, and, to solve the dilemma, went on and re- ported them dead. The next day an ofl&cer found them and extricated them alive. They had been exposed to 46° of frost. They still survive.
Nothing can beat the Sircar mule when he is in good condition, unless it is the Balti and Ladaki coolie. Several hundred of these hardy moun- taineers w...ere imported from the North-West frontier to work on the most dangerous and diffi- cult sections of the road. They can bear cold and fatigue and exposure better than any transport animal on the line, and they are surer-footed.
Mules were first employed over the Jelap, but were afterwards abandoned for coolies. The Baltis are excellent workers at high altitudes, and sing cheerily as they toil up the mountains with their 90 THE UNVEILING OF LHASA loads. I have seen them throw down their packs when they reached the summit of a pass, make a rush for the shelter of a rock, and cheer lustily like school-boys.
