Product Details
xThis book is a collection of the mountain writings of the late Hari Dang (1935-2016). This compilation is based on a book-length manuscript written in the 60s, as ‘The Himalayan Vision,’ but never published. Covered in this are his first visits, while at college, to Bandarpunch (1953, 1955), an adventure around Chiring We in Kumaon (1956), two expeditions to the Nanda Devi sanctuary (1960, 1961), his epic story of being benighted at the highest camp as part of the second Indian expedition to Everest (1962), and the last of the three expeditions to then-unclimbed Jaonli in Garhwal with school boys (1966). Added to this are his thoughts on introducing young people to adventure, Himalayan wildlife, and an odd one out, a poem from a trip to Lahaul – the only record of the climb of M5 in the Mulkila range of Lahaul in 1964. From the vantage point of later years, often spent in Landour, looking at the splendid panorama of the Garhwal Himalaya, he writes about what mountains meant to him, and why the mountains should now be ‘unclimbed.’
