The Land of Moonlit Snows: & Other Real Travel Stories from the Indian Himalaya

EIGHT STORIES THAT BRING ALIVE THE BEAUTY OF THE HIMALAYAS. When city-dwellers meet the mountains, stories manifest themselves. Of narrow escapes from remote valleys, encounters with the wild, treks across snow-covered passes and flower-filled meadows, blended with the kindness of locals and their food, culture and festivals. The real stories in the book attempt to make just one point - exploration is for everyone. About the Author Born in UP and raised in Punjab, Gaurav Punj is the prototype of what the Himalayan folk are wary of. This hasn't deterred him or diluted his unconditional love for the Himalaya though. A Berkeley, California graduate, GP is a bit of a conflicted soul who wears an aura of calm. He secretly hopes that not too many people come to the Himalaya even while he writes books on it and prays for them to become bestsellers.
