From the preface: "This book, containing the record of a winter tour through the upper provinces of India to the Himalayas, is placed before the public in the hope that the historical interest of the scenes described, and the peculiarity of the method of Indian, as compared with English travel, may secure for it a perusal which will be of profit to the general reader. It has also been thought that such a work could not but be of special value to those in India contemplating a like journey. The author's experience has been that chance travellers in that country are unable to procure any adequate or trustworthy account of the places of note visited by all who travel along this route.
"It has been specially sought, by careful research and inquiry, to furnish reliable information; and I have to tender my best thanks to Major Chamberlain, Messrs. T. C. Fenwick, W.H. Hoff, W. Smyth, and other gentlemen, who have most kindly assisted me in this respect. I have also to acknowledge that I am indebted for several of my illustrations to admirable photographs taken by Messrs. Bourne and Shepherd, reduced by "our own artist," to suit this work."
