Ladakh Updates

Hi!

There is a new book:
Ladakh (Kashmir Manali)'The Essential Guide'
-written by Partha S. Banerjee'
-printed by Milestone Himalayan series.
(Sorry I couldn't find the book online even at milestones website! - it is printed in June 2008 and can be bought in Manali and Leh).

This is a wonderful guidebook especially if you are travelling overland to Ladakh and the reasons are:

1. The Overland sections are covered in details along with maps.

2. For those who do not want to go very deep but yet want to know the facts about Buddhism - it has a very good sections.

3. Along with number 2 - it also covers the History and geological aspects of the region.

Priced at Rs.795 - it may sound a bit expensive for us Indians but it is worth it. Do not go heavily by the prices mentioned for the hotels etc - but rather use it as a benchmark.

The trekking section seems to be borrowed from a travel agent - but it is still a good book to be used along with other trekking guide (Charlie Loram).

I will keep updating this section..
