Description
This authoritative study of Ladakh, the celebrated last outpost of Tibetan civilization, shows how Buddhism and Islam met at this high-altitude crossroads to form a unique culture, and discusses the region's history, rich oral tradition, economy, literature, and artefacts. The text will interest travellers, mountaineers, historians of Buddhism and Islam, and students of ethnic and tribal studies.
