Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Himalayas and on the Indian Plains For although, in the meanwhile, a flood of Indian literature has made each scene familiar (and guide-books now instruct tourists in the way they should go I know that I was unusually favoured in the companionship of men who had lived long in the country, had thoroughly mastered many of its languages, and who took the deepest interest in all questions concerning the people, their religion, and their customs in general. To the unwearied kindness of these good friends I was indebted for many a lesson in the art of observing whatever was best worth studying, in the bewildering mass of novelties which distract the new comer; and also for such clues as enabled me to venture on threading even the outskirts of the perplexing labyrinths of eastern thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among the Himalayas The grandest part of the grandest mountains on the globe has, strange to say, no book devoted to it, except one that was written about half a century ago. Since that time, however, these lofty regions, on the rugged borders of Tibet, have become much more accessible. Roads have penetrated the mountain fastnesses in nearly every direction in the state of Sikhim, a Switzerland of the East, situated in the heart of the Himalayas, within sight of the culminating pinnacle of the world, Mount Everest. The worst torrents have been bridged, and travellers staging-houses have been erected along some of the chief routes, thus facilitating the exploration of these mighty mountains, and creating a desire for further and more general information in regard to them and their quaint Tartar tribes, than is to be found in Hooker's Journals. Having visited many of the less frequented parts, and possessing an intimate knowledge of the social and political state of most of the primitive tribes, I venture to hope that some account of my travels may contribute to the supply of this want. During the past fourteen years I have traversed portions of this region nearly every year, sketching, shooting, collecting, and especially exploring the customs of the people on the frontiers of Tibet, and of Nepal - the land of the warlike Goorkhas - where I lived in tents for four or five months of several successive years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ibex of Sh -Ping, and Other Himalayan Studies You who are wearied with the day's work, and would hear of the wonders of the Himalaya, let yourself oat in your imagination, out across the seas, over the parched sand of the desert, across the arid plains of India, and up into the everlasting snows where the chill night winds are sighing. There, below you, lies my camp in the clearing midst the dark pine forests, where the log fire blazes and crackles, and where the silver stream murmurs of the thousand mysteries of the mountains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Western Himalaya and Tibet: A Narrative of a Journey Through the Mountains of Northern India, During the Years 1847-8 For the plates which accompany the work I have to thank Mr. Winterbottom, who very kindly permitted me to select from a series of sketches those which I thought most suitable. This was not an easy task; but in the two views of the neighbourhood of Iskardo I found so faithful a representation of the extremely rugged scenery of the Tibetan mountains, contrasted with the level plain of Iskardo, and the lacustrine strata of the neighbourhood, that no more desirable illustra tions for a journey in Tibet could be conceived. The little vignette, too, though it does not represent any part of the country through which I travelled, is precisely similar to many ravines in Rondu, and serves to show that the Gilgit valley is quite the same in general appearance with that district. I was more particularly desirous of introducing this sketch, from the very faithful representation it contains of the alluvial platforms which skirt the streams in every part of Tibet.

This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Attraction of the Himalaya Mountains Upon the Plumb-Line in India A sense of loyalty to General Walker renders criticism of his theories an unwelcome task such criticism can only be based on data, that were never at his disposal and that have been accumulated since his death. In 1896, a few months before his death, a paper by General Walker, containing a masterly summary of Indian geodetic work, was issued by the Royal Society in 113 paper General Walker advocated the adoption of groups of astronomical stations for the purpose of eliminating the effects of local attraction he also in it explained certain perplexing phenomena by assuming the existence of a southerly deflection at Kalianpur, the station of reference of the Indian Survey. In 1898 In consequence of this paper and In full accord with General Walker's views, we threw a group of astronomical stations round Kalianpur: their results showed that the deflection at Kalianpur due to local attraction was northerly: this unexpect ed issue created a dilemma: either General Walker had been mistaken in advocating groups, or his assumption of a southerly deflection at Kalianpur had been incorrect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty Years in the Himalaya: With 60 Illustrations and a Map I AM attempting in this book to give to those interested in Mountain Travel and Mountain Exploration, who have not been so luckily placed as myself, some account of the Hindu Koosh and Himalaya ranges. My wanderings cover a period of nineteen years, during which I have not been able to do more than pierce these vast ranges, as one might stick a needle into a bolster, in many places; for no one can lay claim to a really intimate knowledge of the Himalaya alone, as understood in the mountaineering sense at home. There are still a great number of districts which remain for me new ground, as well as the 500 miles of the Himalaya included in Nepal, which, to all intents and purposes, is still unexplored.

Download or read book Climbing and Exploration in the Karakoram Himalayas Classic Reprint written by William Martin Conway and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Climbing and Exploration in the Karakoram-Himalayas The chief results of my work are the map and the present volume. How much of the former covers new ground or modifies in important respects the representation of physical features may be easily perceived by comparing it with the corresponding sheets of the Indian atlas, which are readily accessible. The two sheets of my map are too large for incorporation in the ordinary edition of this work, but they are issued with the Edition de luxe. The expense of engraving this map, as well as that of developing my many photographs, was borne by the Royal Geographical Society. It is scarcely necessary to add that my survey does not pretend to be more than a sketch survey. It was made under all the disadvantages of rapid travelling and in almost continuous bad weather. The parts were fitted together by help of the points trigonometrically determined by the Indian Survey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beyond the Himalayas: A Story of Travel and Adventure in the Wilds of Thibet Tion for the imagination of young people, if, as formerly, they take delight in wandering among strange and wild scenes, and in encountering manifold obstacles and dan gers. Many have sought of late years to climb over the division-wall between the two crowded Eastern worlds of India and China, - the trader, to find a new market for his wares; the explorer, in search of a whole nest of Chinese puzzles regarding the courses of giant rivers and mountain chains; and the missionary, in pursuit of his self-denying labours. Only at one point, however, and by a roundabout way, has the journey been accomplished. This is not wonderful, when we reflect that the traveller. In these countries must run the gauntlet of savage mountain tribes, jealous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
