Riding the Himalayas

“Riding the Himalayas” is a unique travelogue of a Himalayan odyssey, a car-trek starting from the Siachin Glacier across the entire Himalayas (Kashmir, Ladakh, Garhwal, Kumaon, Nepal, Bhulan and Sikkim) right up to Kibitho, the easternmost point of the Himalayas. This team of car rallyists (mostly ladies), wildlife experts and photographers went through mountain deserts, tropical forests and the highest motorable road on the planet. The adventures were remarkable-a horrendous rock-fall in Uttarkashi, a riot in Badrinath, Pakistani guns opening up near Kargil, and river crossings with Scorpios hitched precariously on country boats.This well-researched text gives a bird`s-eye view of the history of remote regions, monasteries and temples, and vivid accounts of game sanctuaries. Keki N. Daruwalla has burrowed into nineteenth-century chronicles and provides glimpses of what life was like in the mountains then. Both, Keki N. Daruwalla, the author, and Ashok Dilwali, one of the finest photographers of India, are mountain lovers.”Riding the Himalayas” has been written in memorable and luminous prose, paralleled by some of the finest photographs of the Himalayas.
