"From the vales of Kashmir to the icy wastes of Ladakh, across to Kulu Manali and the erstwhile summer capital of Shimla, Isabella Bird Bishop presents an illuminating and insightful tour of the northwest Himalayan region of the Indian sub-continent. Bishop's fascinating travelogue takes us over the magnificent Himalayan ranges into the homes of the indigenous Tibetans who reside there.
The haunts of the intrepid hunters and travellers who need to cross dangerous passes to visit these beautiful regions during the long and torturous Indian summers are vividly described. Further, a perceptive investigation into Tibetan culture reveals the way of life of these people: their religious practices, deities, places of worship, festivals and ceremonies."
