This is an account of an adventurous trek through Northern India by the author and his wife describing the country and its people, and describing how they became caught up in a border battle and survived a number of landslides.

Review: I am not a climber or a walker but Mike made the subject very accessible and I must say I admired his approach – preferring to connect with the local people on their terms, as a visitor not as a tourist. The book tells us much about the Himalaya region, our effect on the environs and our need to go carefully to preserve this fabulous and awe inspiring place for generations to come.
