Reviews
Read this book if you are going to visit Kashmir! An enjoyable and thorough look at travel to India generally and Kashmir specifically. Not only does the author cover travel logistics but she also gives historical context and wonderful cultural details, even local recipes. Leslie Adams, author of Drink Drug Divorce: One Woman's Misadventures in Faraway Places This fun well-written and insightful read opened a new door for me. I'd never thought of traveling to Kashmir before I happened upon this book. Now I'm intrigued and the how-to information, including checklists and dos and don'ts the book provides will help in the planning. The photos are beautiful and they make me look forward to a houseboat stay, horseback rides, hikes to a glacier and visits to temples and mosques. Gordon Burgett, author of Travel Writer's Guide.
