Himalaya: Exploring the Roof of the World

  • £12.99
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

For some, the Himalaya is an otherworldly realm, profoundly life-changing, yet forbidding and forbidden. It has mesmerised scholars and mystics, sportsmen and spies, pilgrims and mapmakers, who have mingled with local farmers and traders. This is the story of ‘The Roof of the World’ and of the bizarre discoveries and improbable achievements which took place there. Ranging from botany to trade and the Great Game to modern geopolitics, John Keay draws on a lifetime of exploration and study in this biography of a region in crisis.
