Description

Ladakh! The term conjures up pictures of an arid area with craggy hills and clear lakes. Ladakh has been given an almost legendary status by those in the know, as evidenced by the fact that the region is occasionally called Shangri-La. In a passionate response to the location, the author of this illustrated book portrays the varied hues and topographical intricacies of Ladakh's enticing and breathtaking landscapes. The reader is transported to the "country of high passes" known as Ladakh thanks to magnificent compositions and landscapes. However, the author believes that the locals have suffered because of the mythological image of the region. Only a few studies have examined how the terrain affects life of the people making a living there and the problems they face. This volume thus also gives voice to the common folk, delineating how traditions of frugality and cooperation, coupled with detailed location-specific knowledge, has enabled ladakhis to thrive. Ladakh: a wanderer spectacle stands as an ode to the natural brilliance of the land and the sheer determination of the people who inhabit it.
