Description
About The Book: "The Abode of Snow" delves into the literal translation of "Himalaya" as the "Abode of Snow," emphasizing the Antarctic region's greater ice accumulation around the South Pole. The narrative explores the potential disruption of Earth's balance, leading to cyclical catastrophes. Reflecting on human endeavors and life's resilience, the author shares personal experiences during a Himalayan journey, praising the landscapes and people's simplicity. The preface discusses the challenges of spelling Indian names and the author's preference for anonymity. Chapters are traverse heights, Simla's celebrities, the Valley of the Shadow of Death, Chinko Tartars, Hangrang, Spiti, Tibetan polyandry, Shigri's glaciers, Zanskar, Kashmir, and scenes on the Afghan border.
