Where the Indus is Young: Walking to Baltistan

Where the Indus is Young: Walking to Baltistan

by Dervla Murphy (Author)

Synopsis

Dervla Murphy and her six-year-old daughter walked into the Karakorum mountains in the heart of the western Himalayas and along the perilous Indus Gorge. Accompanied by only a gallant polo pony, they endured conditions that tested their limits of ingenuity, fortitude and courage and, remarkably, with little loss of good humour. This is their story.
