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.

Exciting travel in a beautiful part of the world
26 April 1998
Justine Hardy a young british adventurer gathered a group of travelers together when the area in Ladakh, India was just opened for recreational travel. She writes a fascinating account of this journey that is well worth reading if you plan any travel in the Indian Himalaya.
She has spent many years working and traveling in India and her love of the country and affection for the many who assisted her on this innovative journey is apparent. Well worth the effort if you can find this out of print book
