Ladakh – your perfect Himalayan getaway

Ladakh is located in extreme north on India in its state of Jammu & Kashmir neighbouring China. Ladakh is surrounded by two different mountain ranges, Karakoram Mountain Ranges in its north and the great Himalayas to its south. Historically Ladakh was part of Tibet which later got incorporated within Indian state. It has blend of Tibetan and South Asian cultural as its provides a peek into historical past of the region. Leh is the biggest city of Ladakh region and is well connected through Road and Air links with rest of India. Reaching Leh via land route can be tricky in winters due to heavy snowfall therefore air route remains the preferred mode adopted by tourist to reach this Himalayan getaway.

When in Leh there is so much you can do there. Before you give your activities a kick start it is advisable to give yourself sometime to acclimatize to the high altitude at which the city is located. Trekking is very popular among foreign tourists which visit Ladakh. Some of the popular treks to try while in Ladakh are Markah Valley Trekking Tour (a 9 day trek), Darch Padam Trekking Tour (a 12 day trek) and Lamayuru Stok Trekking Tour (a 6 day trek). Experienced guides are available and could be hired from Leh for one of these treks.

The fastest and more comfortable way to explore the Ladakh region is through a Jeep Safari. Ladakh is some of the most panoramic views in the entire India subcontinent, so make sure you take a jeep safari and go around the region to witness its pristine beauty. The roads in the region are rough and you may not cover much distance in a day when compared to driving on a more decent road. For some exploring the remote territories of the Ladakh region in itself is a adventure and cultural tour and they enjoy this the most.

Ladakh region is also blessed to have few white water bodies which offer perfect platforms for river rafting. While in Ladakh one could try rafting at Zanskar and Indus rivers. Both these rivers are fuming most of the time and require expert rafters to conquer them. Many rafting camps are setup here to train people for few days before they could set their best foot forward to conquer these rivers.

Wild life safari tours are also available in Ladakh and a good way to explore flora and fauna of the region. So by now you would have got basic idea of what all to while in Ladakh. It is advisable to contact a experienced travel agent who will be able to help you get the most out of your Ladakh getaway.

Britain and Tibet 1765-1947 $44.95 A hundred years ago, in 1904, a British mission under Francis Younghusband, along with a formidable military escort commanded by Brigadier-General James Macdonald, entered Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Thus nearly 150 years of British attempts from their Indian base to establish formal diplomatic relations with the ruling Tibetan theocracy culminated in the deployment of massive armed force. While the Younghusband venture failed to achieve nearly all its stated objectives, it undoubtedly marked the opening of a new era in Central Asian history the full consequences and complexities of which have yet to be revealed in full. To the steadily growing band of students of the history, nature and consequences of Anglo-Tibetan contacts, in which the Younghusband mission features so prominently, Julie Marshall’s revised and enormously expanded version of her bibliography of works relating to British relations with Tibet from 1765 to 1947, of which the first version appeared in 1977, cannot fail to be of outstanding value. Its publication is indeed an appropriate event in the Younghusband centenary.

Asian Dumplings $14.99 Is there anything more satisfying than a well-made Asian dumpling? Plump pot stickers, spicy samosas, and tender bāo (stuffed buns) are enjoyed by the million every day in dim sum restaurants, streetside stands, and private homes worldwide. Wrapped, rolled, or filled; steamed, fried, or baked–Asian dumplings are also surprisingly easy to prepare, as Andrea Nguyen demonstrates in Asian Dumplings . Nguyen is a celebrated food writer and teacher with a unique ability to interpret authentic Asian cooking styles for a Western audience. Her crystal-clear recipes for more than 75 of Asia’s most popular savory and sweet parcels, pockets, packages, and pastries range from Lumpia (the addictive fried spring rolls from the Philippines) to Shanghai Soup Dumplings (delicate thin-skinned dumplings filled with hot broth and succulent pork) to Gulab Jamun (India’s rich, syrupy sweets). Organized according to type (wheat pastas, skins, buns, and pastries; translucent wheat and tapioca preparations; rice dumplings; legumes and tubers; sweet dumplings), Asian Dumplings encompasses Eastern, Southeastern, and Southern Asia, with recipes from China, Japan, Korea, Nepal, Tibet, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Throughout, Nguyen shares the best techniques for shaping, filling, cooking, and serving each kind of dumpling. And she makes it easy to incorporate dumplings into a contemporary lifestyle by giving a thorough introduction to essential equipment and ingredients and offering make-ahead and storage guidance, time-saving shortcuts that still yield delectable results, and tips on planning a dumpling dinner party. More than 40 line drawings illustrate the finer points of shaping many kinds of dumplings, including gyōza/pot stickers, wontons, and samosas. Dozens of mouth-watering color photographs round out Asian Dumplings , making it the most definitive, inviting, inspiring book of its kind. ANDREA NGUYEN is a food writer and cooking teacher whose work appears in the Los Angeles Times, San Jose Mercury News , and Saveur , where she is also a contributing editor. Her first book, Into the Vietnamese Kitchen , was nominated for three James Beard and IACP cookbook awards. She lives in Santa Cruz, California.

Tibet, Tibet $13.99 At different times in its history Tibet has been renowned for pacifism and martial prowess, enlightenment and cruelty. The Dalai Lama may be the only religious leader who can inspire the devotion of agnostics. Patrick French has been fascinated by Tibet since he was a teenager. He has read its history, agitated for its freedom, and risked arrest to travel through its remote interior. His love and knowledge inform every page of this learned, literate, and impassioned book. Talking with nomads and Buddhist nuns, exiles and collaborators, French portrays a nation demoralized by a half-century of Chinese occupation and forced to depend on the patronage of Western dilettantes. He demolishes many of the myths accruing to Tibet–including those centering around the radiant figure of the Dalai Lama. Combining the best of history, travel writing, and memoir, Tibet, Tibet is a work of extraordinary power and insight. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Asian Animal Zodiac $9.95 In much the same way that Westerners analyze their personalities and predict their futures by studying the positions of the stars under which they were born, Asians use the ancient animal zodiac to explain individual personalities and predict their futures. According to legend, the twelve years in the Asian animal cycles were named for the twelve animals who visited Buddha on his deathbed: the rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, cock, dog, and boar. This informative and delightful book examines each animal of the zodiacal cycle and describes its history, its virtues and flaws, its "all-too-human characteristics." Traditional tales from China, Japan, Korea, Tibet, and Vietnam illustrate each animal's personality as the people of those nations see it.
