Travel Account

The Himalayas have drawn travellers, explorers, pilgrims and writers for centuries — and the travel-writing tradition is one of the richest in Asian literature. Browse classic accounts (from Sven Hedin and Alexandra David-Néel through Peter Matthiessen's *The Snow Leopard*), contemporary travel memoirs, pilgrimage narratives (Kailash, Muktinath, Pashupatinath), and unusual perspectives on Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and the greater Himalayan world. A section for armchair adventurers and returning trekkers alike.
