Francis Younghusband, explorer of the Himalaya and later British Resident in Kashmir, writes about the Vale of Kashmir: its lakes and rivers, the mountains around it, the changing seasons, the Kashmiri people, and a history running from ancient Hindu kings such as Lalitaditya through the Mughals to the Dogra maharajas. The text was written to accompany Major E. Molyneux’s colour paintings.
Affectionate and informed, it suits readers interested in the Himalaya and the travel books of the late Raj. Download the free EPUB.
