A photographic celebration of the Himalayas, which seeks to capture their atmosphere and also includes details of modern scientific and geological research there.
A beautifully produced celebration of the revered mountain ranges of central Asia, showing the high altitude landscapes, the people and their culture. Endless expanses of ice, snow and solid rockfaces make up the landscape, which is lit at different times of the day and year by the most beautiful shades of sky and sun. The book shows the daily life of the Bhotia people who inhabit the mountains; photographs of their noble faces and colourful costumes, their valley cities and cliff edge villages, their deities and Buddhist religious observances, their austere hill farming practices and difficult trade routes through high valleys all bear testament to the ancient social structure that exists on the roof of the world. Finally, the book takes you to Nepal, the largest of the Himalayan states and the only official Hindu kingdom in the world.
