While there are higher ranges of greater challenge, nowhere lies a greater and infinitely more accessible beauty than the Himal of Kashmir. These snow and ice-capped peaks lie like a necklace of pearls, completely encircling the Vale of Kashmir



This book focuses on five separate treks in the Great Himalaya of Kashmir made between 1970 and 1990. They include the Lidder, Sind, Nichinai, Warwan and Krash Valleys; Kolohoi, Harmukh, Nun Kun peaks, and Tar Sar, Vishan Sar, and Gangabal lakes to name but a few.
