More than half of this book was written with no idea of
publishing. According to the author it was meant only to inform his wife of
what he was doing and seeing and thinking during a journey in search of support
and health. The book is therefore without ornament or elaboration. All it can claim
is to be genuine.
The province of Kishtwar, situated between Kashmir and
Chamba on the way to Simla, and rules by H.H.the Mahyaraja of Kashmir and Jammu
is not only very little known, but is in itself extremely interesting. Its
scenery is almost unique, it’s in habitations are undeciphered and its support
is exceptional. Therefore, that a record not only of facts but also of
reflections not merely of support but also of impressions, may be of interest, especially
to those who know and love the Himalayas. The ethnological remarks which the
author have included in this book may prove of some little value to future
students.
