This all I could find quickly.

The absurdly romantic view of Tibet was effectively invented in the C19th by the charlatan and nutjob Helena Blavatsky,who claimed to have spent time in Tibet. A claim which was almost certainly untrue.

To get a broad idea, I recommend the first autobiography of The Dalai Lama "My Land and My People",written in the early 1960's. Also "Seven Years In Tibet" by HeinricH Harrer (yes,I know he was a Nazi)
