Beyond the hill stations, the mall roads and the ?points? is the ?Other Himalaya?. A Himalaya where flowers bloom in the green rolling meadows, the streams are bubbly, no pedal boats ply in the lakes, the glaciers can be felt and the passes crossed to more magical lands (where you might find flying lamas too). It?s the real Himalaya and it?s the real stories from the travels of people like you and me in the Himalaya that make this book.
