Journeying eastward from the massif of Kanchenjunga that dominates the Indo-Nepal border, the authors take us through Sikkim, North Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh before moving southwards along the Naga Patkai range and the hill states of Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram, coming to a halt in Tripura. With stunning visuals of the Great Himalayas, including Kanchenjunga National Park, now a World Heritage Site, the authors knit together a comprehensive picture of India's northeastern-most corner, home to indigenous people like the Sherdukpen, the Monpa, the Aka, the Nyishi, the Adi, the Mishmi, the Nocte and Wancho, the Lai and Mara, and Naga, Kuki and Mixo -- diverse peoples with distinct culture. This volume weaves geography with history, myths of origin with daily like, and religion with culture to produce a seminal volume in the documentation of India's little-known northeast.

The Himalayan region has a rich and unique cultural heritage, and has managed to preserve its established traditions throughout history whilst absorbing customs, traditions and ideas from both invaders and immgirants. Many cultural practices, languages, customs and monuments are examples of this co-mingling over centuries.

An inspirational larger format book providing an overview of 20 memorable treks in the Himalaya. A stunning collection of all the best trekking ideas throughout the Himalayan range, they include such well-known classics as the treks to Everest, K2 and Kangchenjunga base camps, and the Annapurna and Manaslu Circuits. The ultra-long Lunana Snowman Trek and a kora around sacred Mount Kailash in Tibet are also included. There are epic glacier treks like that to Pakistan's Snow Lake; following in the footsteps of Shipton and Tilman towards Nanda Devi, and the approach to Gangkar Punsum - the world's highest unclimbed peak located in remote Bhutan. Unlike a conventional guidebook, detailed route descriptions are not included; the book is, however, an excellent planning resource for those who wish to venture into the Himalayas. It looks at each route in turn and provides a snapshot of what makes the trek special, helping you choose the best routes to walk. Perfect either for planning, or for the armchair explorer.

-The book is intended both as a history and an ecological overview of the Park and as a plea for continuing conservation of the rich legacy of Himalayan plants and animals -The pictures, taken by the authors and their collaborators, vividly illustrate the grandeur and diversity of the area -The book has universal appeal: to naturalists, scholars, resource managers, trekkers, arm-chair travelers The Great Himalayan National Park Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most important protected areas in the Himalayas, one of the World's great biological realms. The book is intended both as a history and an ecological overview of the Park and as a plea for continuing conservation of the rich legacy of Himalayan plants and animals. In addition to descriptions of the ecology, the book includes local history and culture and a review of current development in the region. The inscription of the Park into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014 confirmed the Outstanding Universal Values of the area, which contains the most important and significant natural habitats for in-situ conservation of Western Himalayan biological diversity. The pictures, taken by the authors and their collaborators, vividly illustrate the grandeur and diversity of the area. The book has universal appeal: to naturalists, scholars, resource managers, trekkers, arm-chair travelers. Success and failure along the road to creating today's Park are discussed frankly to inform future management efforts and there are numerous examples of conservation in action that will motivate a new generation of naturalists and ecologists to continue the fight to protect the ecology of the greatest mountains on earth.
