Description
Foreword

Driving Holidays in the Himalayas is a series of books that endeavour to give the reader a glimpse of many exciting, exotic locales that can be easily accessed by road and hopes to provide enough insight to make your trip a comfortable and memorable one.

This book explores Ladakh, and briefly, the adjoining areas of Himachal Pradesh and Sringar, while the others take you through Zanskar, Uttaranchal, Himachal & Sikkim.

These books especially focus on travelers who are found of driving, have their own wheels (two, four - or even hired will do!), and love the mountains. Given the time constraints of our lives today, each book is designed to cover a fair degree of terrain in a week to ten days. Although it does not aim to visit every place possible in a region, it certainly traverses a reasonable cross-section. It reflects the author’s own preferences of picturesque places to visit and also makes dining recommendations.
