stories manifest themselves. Of narrow escapes from remote valleys, encounters
with the wild, treks across snow-covered passes and flower-filled meadows,
blended with the kindness of locals and their food, culture, and festivals. The
real stories in the book attempt to make just one point — exploration is for
everyone. </span></p>

prototype of what the Himalayan folk is wary of. This hasn’t deterred him or
diluted his unconditional love for the Himalayas though. A Berkeley, California
graduate, GP is a bit of a conflicted soul who wears an aura of calm. He
secretly hopes that not too many people come to the Himalayas even while he
writes books on them and prays for them to become bestsellers.</span></p>
