The first ever book devoted
solely to the former independent kingdom of Sikkim,
now a state of India,was published on July 3, 2003
by Pomegranate Press in the UK. 'Sikkim Himalaya -
Travels in the Cloud Kingdom' is a 200-page full
colour hard cover title by David Lang, who has
written six 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'. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
In this unique celebration of
Sikkim's history, geography, flora and fauna, David
Lang writes evocative and beautifully illustrated
accounts of four eventful treks he made in the
mountainous northern parts of the country -
exploring valleys which no western botanist had
visited since Joseph Hooker 150 years before, and
travelling in the steps of the Younghusband
Expedition of 1903-4. The book also includes
attractive maps and a specially commissioned article
on the forest orchids of Sikkim by Mohan Pradhan.
There are 330 colour photographs and an archive of
historic black and white pictures never seen outside
Sikkim before. |

A mountainous country of
incredible beauty and abundant wildlife, Sikkim is
home to three distinct peoples, the Lepchas, Bhutias
and Nepali. Its snow-covered peaks, flower-filled
meadows and gorgeously decorated Buddhist temples
remain unknown even to many who live within easy
reach of its borders. |
|
| |
'Sikkim Himalaya' (254mm x 254mm;
ISBN 09533493-7-3) is published in the UK at £29.95.
The book is delivered free of post & packing within
the UK from Pomegranate Press, Dolphin House, 51 St
Nicholas Lane, Lewes, Sussex BN7 2JZ. Retail terms
are 35 per cent, and 25 per cent for single orders. |
