| Abstract: | Renowned Italian Tibetologist and explorer Giuseppe Tucci (1894-1984) might have rescheduled his first journey to Tibet if he had known that then the only road out of Diyag, a border township located at the west gate of the region, would be blocked by snow for nearly half a year. He managed to arrive at Diyag on October 2, 1931 after years of preparation, only to find that due to heavy snow, he could not go a step further toward Ngari, his planned destination. After a short stay, he had to go back to Nepal and wait for another time. |
