Estêvão Cacella and João Cabral and the First Explorations of the Himalayas including Bhutan, Nepal and Tibet

In 1626, Father Estêvão Cacella and his assistant, Father João Cabral, set out from the region of Bengal and into the Himalayan mountains. The two Jesuit missionaries would become the first Europeans to reach the kingdoms of Bhutan, Nepal and parts of Tibet. In the process, they would provide the world with the oldest and most detailed look at Bhutan's legends - Ngawang Namgyal - and his kingdom.
