Hindu-Koh: Wanderings And Wild Sport On And Beyond The Himalayas

About the Book:-A recollection of the times that the author spent in the Himalaya mountains touring and shooting game during the latter half of the 19th century. The subject of Himalayan travel and sport is now so old a story, that an attempt to create further interest in it is an almost happen undertaking, especially for one who has been more accustomed to handling the mountain-staff than the pen. The following pages, however, are in nowise embellished with a vein of romance, which, whilst perhaps rendering a narrative of this kind more attractive to the general reader, is apt to give a fanciful and overdrawn picture of the reality. Nor has their writer any pretension to being either an erudite traveller, or a mighty hunter to whom hairbreadth escapes and thrilling adventures have been common occurrences. This, the book is full of adventure and amusing anecdotes that attempt to bring the reader into the scene of action. The author travelled in Kashmir, Ladakh, the lower Himalayas in the Garwal and Kumaon, and Nepal. The book has 35 photographs and illustrations. This book is a reprint of the 1889 edition.
