Synopsis:
A fully illustrated book on the great Himalayan desert area - extending from Mustang in Nepal and including the Himalayan mountain districts of Ladakh, Lahul, Spiti, and Kinnnaur.
At the stern heights of the Himalaya, between historic passes and spectacular peaks, lies the great Himalayan desert. This vast area of brown hills, barren, dry, and dusty, is covered by snow and sand. This is also one of the harshest regions of the world. Temperatures dip below minus 50 centigrade, icy winds howl through the valleys causing rock and ice falls, illusory sounds draw the unwary to death and water is dearer than life.
But braving these adversities are the people of this desert who preserve and enrich an ancient culture. At the crossroads of various civilizations, they are a happy mixture of Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, as well as Buddhist and Islamic cultures. This book studies, most sensitively, the physical, cultural and social life in the Himalayan desert through prose and breathtaking pictures. |
