Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the hunting and camping adventures of the author in the remote Himalayas. Set in the early 1900s, it chronicles a time of relatively unexplored terrain and remote wilderness areas. The author shares tales of their hunting expeditions for game including bears, panthers, ibex, and various species of deer. The book provides an intriguing glimpse into the lives of the local Kullu people and their customs, as well as some of the challenges and thrills of living and hunting in such a remote and beautiful landscape.
