Riding the Himalayas is a unique travelogue of a Himalayan odyssey-a car-trek starting from the Siachin Glacier across the entire Himalayas (Kashmir, Ladakh, Garhwal, Kumaon, Nepal, Bhutan & Sikkim) right up to Kibito, the easternmost point of the Himalayas. This team of car rallyists (mostly ladies), wildlife experts and photographers went through mountain deserts, tropical forests and the highest motorable road on the planet. The adventures were remarkable-a horrendous rock-fall in Uttarkashi, a riot in Badrinath, Pakistani guns opening up near Kargil, and river crossings with Scorpios hitched precariously on country boats.
