After the grand success of his début adventure travelogue: Walking the Nile, followed by Walking in the Amazon; Levison Wood has penned his third adventure expedition: Walking the Himalayas (ISBN: 9781473626249). The book was published on 14 Jan 2016 and has 304 pages written in impeccable British English. A personal account of his excursion of walking 1700 miles, starting from Afghanistan, tracking mountainous tracks through Pakistan, India, Nepal up to Bhutan covering the entire Himalayan range. In his breakthrough journey, accompanied by his local guides, he met several aboriginal people: farmers, porters, peasants, shepherds, soldiers, smugglers and so on. He discovered several secrete stories, concepts and practices that were not hitherto known to the modern world. Crossing numerous valleys, hillocks, snow-clad peaks, palisades and rivers, he uncovered obscured history of the Himalayas, interprets the geographical contributions of the region and its effects on the surrounding climate and topography.
Traveling on foot, following the path of the great explorers of the ancient silk route, he got a glimpse of the local customs, traditions and their inherited legacy from their ancestors who have migrated centuries ago to those places from the far-off lands. He stayed with natives in their homes and huts, dined with them, tasted various dishes cooked using indigenous ingredients. Showing the world how adventurous and audacious life is, in the remote and isolated part of our lonely planet.
Walking the Himalayas is a marvelous travelogue. Reading it gives a feeling of being part of Levison’s voyage. His words have sound as if you are listening to the voice of birds, the noise of the jungle, the rhythm of a river, and the silence of the snow. A must-read for explorers, mountaineers, backpackers, globetrotters and anyone who loves adventure and travel.
