About the Book
The Kangra Valley Rail is an enchanting travelogue that offers readers a chance to explore the rustic charm of Kangra, a picturesque region in Himachal Pradesh. The journey on the Kangra Valley Railway, from Pathankot to Joginder Nagar, takes almost eight hours and offers breathtaking views as the train winds through landscapes that transition from subtropical to alpine, all while running alongside the snow-clad Dhauladhars.
Premola Ghose’s guide takes readers on a fascinating exploration of the valley's rich history and culture. The book delves into various pilgrimage sites, forts, and ruined palaces of ancient kings immortalized by local bards and miniature painters. Alongside the scenic beauty, it offers insights into the region’s people, architecture, and cuisine. Ghose also brings to life the story of Himalayan tea and the fascinating history of Tibet, whose exiled world touches the valley.
The Kangra Valley Rail is not just a travel guide, but an invitation to journey through time, culture, and natural beauty, making it a perfect read for history lovers, travel enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the charm of the Himalayas.
