David-Néel Alexandra (w1835)

  • Description: Alexandra David-Néel, a French explorer and writer, is renowned for her extraordinary travels in Asia and for being one of the first Western women to visit Tibet, which was then closed to foreigners. Starting her explorations in 1911, she traversed regions such as India, China, Japan, and Tibet, braving extreme conditions and overcoming cultural and physical barriers. Her most famous journey was to Tibet, where she surreptitiously entered in 1924, reaching Lhasa. David-Néel was not just an adventurer but also a scholar of Buddhism and Asian cultures, and her numerous books, including "My Journey to Lhasa," provide a vivid and insightful portrayal of her experiences and discoveries
