CHAPTER I.
GRUEBER AND DORVILLE.
It can hardly be said to be a difficult task to write the history of exploration
in such a part of Tibet as the Central Transhimalaya, for nobody, except the Chi-
nese explorers and myself has ever penetrated this gigantic mountain system; and,
judging from the Chinese maps, one could not tell how far these surveyors have
seen the country with their own eyes or obtained their information from natives.
Still, however, there is a good deal of literature on the subject; for a few
Europeans and Pundits have crossed the limits of Central Transhimalaya near Tengri-
nor and the sources of the Indus; one early expedition (Desideri and Freyre) and
two modern (Nain Sing and Rawling-Ryder) have followed the Tsangpo valley, three
expeditions have touched the northern boundaries of the region, namely Nain Sing,
Littledale and myself (1901), whilst some other explorers have only touched it
slightly, as Deasy, Rawling, Bower, and de Rhins. From his route along the
northern shores of Ngangtse-tso and Dangra-yum-tso Nain Sing could see and enter
on his map some peaks belonging to the system, and so was also the case with
Ryder and Wood, whose determination of the height and situation of several peaks
gives a frame of immense value to the whole central system. These two, Nain Sing
and Ryder, had approached the Transhimalaya nearer than anybody else. But no-
body, except, probably, the Chinese surveyors, whose survey was not always ac-
cepted on modern European maps, had ever penetrated or crossed the unknown
country which was left blank on the latest European maps.
To write the history of geographical investigation in this region will thus be
to trace and analyze all the expeditions which have touched its boundaries, further
to analyze what can be got from Chinese sources and, finally, to examine and dis-
cuss the result at which European speculation has arrived, a matter which now has
only the historical interest of a geographical problem.
Grueber and Dorville are the first Europeans who ever crossed the Trans-
himalayan system. Desideri and Freyre followed almost the whole length of its
southern edge. Van de Putte crossed it twice in the eastern part, delle Penna,
Beligatti and all the other Capuchin missionaries crossed its southern ranges on
