Another book that can make it to the list is ‘jungle jungle, Parvat Parvat’ by Manmohan Bawa. First published in hindi in 2009 and was translated from Punjabi to hindi in 2008.
Published by National book trust. A treat for travellers and mountain lovers.

मै जब 1995 से 1999 तक केलांग मे सेवारत था तो मैने ज़िला पुस्तकालय मे लाहौल के उपर हिमालय के बारे मे कुछ किताबें पढ़ी।O.C.Honda की किताबें जिसमे हिमाचल के गोम्पाऔं का ज़्यादा बर्णन मिलता था,बहुत मज़ा आता था।Folk tales of Lahulian—M.S.Gill यह भी बहुत पढ़ी।ज़िला पुस्तकालय केलांग मे books की quality मिलती थी, quantity नही।
अब यह जो किताबें यहां बर्णीत है,मै ज़रूर पढ़ना चाहुंगा।

In addition to ‘”Spiti Mein Baarish” by Krishan Nath, another book I’d like to add to Tarun Goel’s list is “Travels in Western Himalayas- in search of paintings” by M.S.Randhawa published by Thomson Press sometime in 70s.

Incidentally, I have hard copies of the following books:

1. Himalayan Wonderland
2. Across Peaks and Passes in Himachal
3. Himalayan Circuit.
4. Spiti Mein Baarish.
5. Travels in Western Himalayas.

While Himalayan Wonderland has been reprinted recently, I think Harish Kapadia’s book is also available in Delhi book stores.

I could, perhaps help with the books at Serial No. 1 to 5 above but it would take some time.

Could you help me with S.R.Saini and P.N.Sharma’s books!

Yet another informative piece from your closet….
Im currently reading ‘Himalyan Wonderland’ by MS Gill….and it is a very humble account by him on Lahaul…anybody who is curious to know about Lahaul in depth…this book is the one!! Its difficult to find it online and if one gets any luck then its way too expensive.
I get my copy thru Indiareads.com on a reasonable price.

Very nice post tarun …quite apt for the time when this info shud b thr…afterall winters is whats our way of life (ppl of mountains).
Keep writing…keep going!
