About the Book: The Kangra Valley Train
The Kangra Valley Rail is a wonderful way to explore the rustic charms of
Kangra in Himachal Pradesh. The journey from Pathankot to Joginder Nagar takes
almost 8 hours, following the line of the snow-clad Dhauladhars through
landscapes that move from the sub-tropical to the alpine, through time and
history. The book is a travelogue/guide that introduces the reader to the
variety one encounters from the pilgrimage sites, the forts and ruined palaces
of kings immortalised by the local bards and miniature painters, people, local
architecture, cuisine and the story of Himalayan tea and the exiled world of
Tibet.............
