Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an intrepid travelogue and sporting adventure set during a time of political tension in Central Asia. The author, a keen sportsman, was granted special permission to travel through Gilgit, Hunza Nagar, and Kunjut, regions usually closed to outsiders. The narrative describes the author's arduous journey over the Himalayas, hunting expeditions and encounters with remote tribes, providing a rare glimpse into a region that has since become inaccessible to the modern world. Through detailed natural descriptions, the author paints a vivid picture of a pristine environment untouched by the modern world. The author also observes the geopolitical complexities of the Pamir region, offering commentary on the growing influence of Russia and China and the strategic importance of a region that sits at the heart of Asia.
