Dunmore traveled in many parts of the world, including Africa and the Arctic, but his principal journey was made in 1892 through Kashmir, western Tibet, Chinese Tartary, and Russian central Asia.

He had ridden and walked some 2500 miles, traversing forty-one mountain passes and sixty-nine rivers." Quoted from and enhanced from the ODNB.
