Book Description
Everyone loves to travel or tour. But while the trip is thrilling, the memories stay etched in the mind for a long time. It is one such travelogue, the backdrop of which is the valley of the high Himalayan plateau in J &K, Ladakh and Himachal from 11,000 feet to 18,000 feet, with nine, at times inaccessible and dangerous, mountain passes, and the breathtakingly beautiful Shyok Valley, surrounded by unprecedented natural beauty, at an altitude of 14,000 amidst the Himalayan mountain ranges, the brackish water lake Pangong in Indo China border. On the road from Leh to Manali, the rugged Baralacha, the 21 bend Gata-loop and the beautiful Jispa. And the 7500 kilometers roadways of this journey, all covered in self-driven car, on completely unknown terrain roads on high Himalayan plateaus. This travelogue is therefore a record of an exciting travel experience.

A Long Walk in the Himalaya
Author: Garry Weare
Publisher: Transit Lounge
ISBN: 0975022873
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Garry Weare is enigmatic, funny and he has an enormous conscience. He brings into the story of his Himalayan traverse a succession of vignettes about people's lives that he meets along the way, relevant history, natural history observations and a delightful sprinkling of his inimitable sense of humour. The warmth of his relationships with his old Kashmiri friends and various people from the trekking fraternity adds a wonderful dimension to this journeyman's tale'. Peter Hillary Weare's finely rendered story of his five-month trek from the sacred source of the Ganges through the Kullu Valley, Zanskar and Ladakh to his houseboat in Kashmir is remarkably entertaining. The people he meets and travels with are fully-fledged characters that the reader comes to know and care about while the Himalaya, captured in all their variety, cast their spell. It is as if the act of walking allows the author to fully understand all the nuances - spiritual, environmental, social and political - of this inspiring region. 'A Long Walk in the Himalaya' is a book to savour, a book that the reader will return to again and again. English-born Garry Weare has had a long-standing relationship with the Himalaya. In 1970 he first went to Kashmir to teach. It changed his life and he went on to live on a houseboat in Kashmir, to pioneer many classic treks and to research the 'Trekking in the Indian Himalaya' guidebook published by Lonely Planet, now in its 4th edition. Weare is a life member of the Himalayan Club, a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a noted mountain photographer and a founding director of the Australian Himalayan Foundation. He has one daughter, two stepdaughters and lives with his wife Margie Thomas in the Southern Highlands, NSW.

Climbing Ramabang
Author: Gerry Galligan
Publisher: Vertebrate Publishing
ISBN: 1909461040
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
Gerry Galligan's first book is a bold and expansive travel diary recounting his assembling of a small team of Irish mountaineers and their attempts on unclimbed mountains and unexplored valleys in the remote corners of the Indian Himalaya. Getting there, the team see the hardships of the sub-continent, while in the mountains they experience storms, dangers and failure before ultimately, success and contentment. But it is when Gerry returns to the mountains alone and his subsequent experiences overlanding across Asia and Europe back to Ireland that we start to get a glimpse of the big, wide world out there. A world of temples, festivals, holy cows, Kalashnikovs, donkey herders, corruption, opportunists, stoners and sages. Gerry gives us an insight into the day-to-day lives of mountain peoples, the dysfunctional functionality of India. He finds charm and tolerance in Pakistan and a surprising openness in today's Iran. We travel across rural Turkey and work our way back to the efficient and affluent West, where right on cue Gerry meets his first breakdown on a German train. Climbing Ramabang; One man's understanding of mountains, myth and mayhem.
