Praveen Releases eBook on Travel in the Himalayas

The book is an illustrated travelogue of a trip along one of the most dangerous, but, also one of the most scenic highways in India, from Manali to Leh.

It recounts the various events that unfold during the 5 day trip from the author's perspective; the sights, sounds and challenges he encounters as he and his friends embark on an epic road trip in the Himalayas.

The book delves into the preparation, the itinerary, the route, the food, the terrain, the people, the risks involved in the trip and finally reveals the events that reduced a 16 day trip to a 5 day trip for the author.

The book takes the readers through the various facets involved in planning and executing a trip to Ladakh and narrates the journey from the author's perspective. The narrative covers the sights along the Delhi - Manali highway and then along the Manali - Leh highway (Manali - Rohtang - Keylong - Jispa - Sarchu - Pang - Upshi - Karu - Leh). It also covers some of the tourist spots in and around Leh.

The challenges experienced during a trip at such high altitudes, including Acute Mountain Sickness and unpredictable road conditions, enhance the storyline.

The book also has photographs taken during the trip, featuring some beautiful landscapes.

The book itself is a short read, maybe an hour and a half, at most.

People planning a visit to Ladakh or to the Himalayas as such would find the book especially interesting.
