An inspirational journey into disputed territories.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ochre Border (Paperback)
Justine Hardy's insightful account of travelling to the Spiti Valley in the Northern India Himalayas is a frank and entertaining book.It details personal perceptions and preconceptions of a reasonably organised group heading to an area of Himachal Pradesh ,until recently, closed to Western travellers due to its strategic location. Their contact with a formerly isolated culture evokes many surprising and some comical moments as does the inevitable internal politics of group travel in such an arduous environment. A very interesting read with few mystical pretentions but a degree of sincerity that kept me engrossed.
