New York, 1956, 1st USA edition. 233 pp, many photos, map. Travels in Kulu, Spiti and Lahoul. The Himalayan regions of Spiti and Lahoul, like Ladakh further north, are well known for some of the most wild and fantastically beautiful mountainscapes. G. D. Khosla's evocative and sympathetic description of these areas is one of the first, and certainly the finest and most comprehensive currently available. Primarily an account of the valleys and peoples of Spiti and Lahoul. The author writes both because of his personal fascination with the mountains but also to bring to public light the difficult conditions of the inhabitants. Gopal Das Khosla (1901- ) was Chief Justice of the Punjab High Court and presided over many controversial trials as well as the commission to review the deaths of both Gandhi and Subhas Chandra Bose.
