With its magnificent terrain, Ladakh has enchanted tourists and explorers over the years. Ladakh is a land of natural wonders. Amidst seemingly endless swathes of barren landscape are micro patches of astonishing greenery. Descriptions of lakes, passes, valleys and several famous and not-so-famous rivers make this book a delightful read. Romesh Bhattacharji?s LADAKH: changing, yet unchanged contains a wealth of information on various aspects of Ladakh, including its terrain, history, people, native customs and the changes it went through in the last four decades. It also explores the ways in which Ladakhis have adapted to modern life, joining professions such as medicine, engineering, writing and more. Relevant and well-timed, this immensely readable book is not only helpful for academics, but also a pleasure for the general reader
Romesh Bhattacharji retired as the Chief Commissioner of Customs and remains grateful to the organisation for allowing him to serve in the remotest and most magnificent part of India. An avid trekker since his youth, his fascination for Ladakh has led him to visit the region a number of times, and focus on it in the last decade. He has also authored Lands of Early Dawn, published in 2002
