Toward the end of September H.P.B. left Bombay for north India. No special escort arrived to squire her to the Himalayas, but she was accompanied, or perhaps trailed, by a half-dozen Hindu Theosophists who had heard of Upasika’s plans and tagged along in the hope of glimpsing a Mahatma.

For years she had dreamed of visiting Tibet, but even she was well aware of the impossibility of crossing the border. It is interesting to notice that now an element of reality creeps into her fantasies. She saw pictures of herself getting only as far north as Sikkim and being refused a visa by the British Foreign Office, then walking to the frontier between Bhutan and Sikkim, “a fast-flowing stream with a swinging bamboo bridge,”192 where guards would turn her back. In her fantasy she waited until the lama from a Sikkim monastery arrived to salute her, offer buttered tea and gifts, and personally conduct her across the border to the monastery.
