Zanskar to Ziro: No Stilettos in the Himalayas
This travelogue captures something rare: the raw beauty of high-altitude terrain paired with genuine human insight. Sohini Sen and her companion journey through some of India's most remote regions, their path winding between snow-capped peaks and hidden valleys. What sets this account apart isn't just the stunning photography or the literary references that pepper the narrative, but the refreshing honesty throughout. The writers don't shy away from mishaps or discomfort. Instead, they meet each stumble with wit and a willingness to laugh at themselves. There's wisdom baked into these pages too, the kind that only comes from living long enough to know what truly matters. You'll find yourself absorbed by their observations about landscape and culture, yet equally charmed by their ability to find humour when the path gets steep or the weather turns foul. It's travel writing with substance, unmarred by pretension, that reminds us why we venture into wild places in the first place.
