Sikkim Himalaya

 

Title: Sikkim Himalaya – Travels in the Cloud Kingdom Author: David Lang

Here’s the first coffee-table guide to this beautiful former Himalayan kingdom, which is now part of India. David Lang – amateur botanist, retired vet, idiosyncratic Englishman – has explored valleys not visited by Western naturalists for more than a hundred years. His vivid text brings us the history, geography and culture of Sikkim, together with colourful accounts of four eventful journeys in search of the region’s glorious flora and fauna. The book includes attractive maps, more than 300 colour photographs and a specially commissioned article by Mohan Pradhan on the forest orchids of Sikkim. It’s the essential companion for anyone intending to discover this lovely country and its people at first hand, but it’s also a great read for those who must reluctantly settle for enjoying it at a distance.

Sikkim’s snow-covered peaks, flower-filled meadows and gorgeously decorated Buddhist temples remain unknown even to many who live within easy reach of its borders. This book is a stunning introduction.

David Lang is the author of five previous books, including 'A Guide to the Orchids of Great Britain and Ireland’, ‘The Complete Book of British Berries’ and ‘The Wild Flower Finder’s Calendar’.
