About The Book Himalayas, the abode of Shiva has always offered mystical experiences to those who have traversed the treacherous terrains and trekked in the chain of majestic mountains. Those steep snow clad roads, barren landscapes and beautiful nature that surround the hills have compelled us to take innumerable photographs to capture the beauty for long. But according to the author of The Land of Flying Lamas & Other Real Travel Stories From the Indian Himalaya: 1, Gaurav Punj, Himalayas is something that is entirely different. He explains that beyond the captivating beauty of the Himalayas that is visible to most of the trekkers and tourists, are regions that are waiting to be explored. There are landmasses that have been seldom visited and areas that remain unexplored till date. Trying to focus the limelight on such regions, the author points out that in those subtle regions of the mighty mountains are meadows that are green and alluring, virgin streams flowing peacefully, rejuvenating flowers and waters that are bubbly and pristine. He also shares that in those regions, one could even spot flying Lamas. Considering its discretion and seclusion from the rest of the accessible region, he says that flying Lamas may exist and they choose to remain aloof from the world.
