Description
A thrilling adventure through the Himalayan state of Arunachal Pradesh, one of the world's least explored regions. Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent sets out to chronicle this forgotten corner of Asia, travelling over 2,000 miles to encounter a world on the cusp of change. She meets shamans, lamas, hunters, opium farmers, and witnesses fantastic tribal festivals, uncovering little-known stories from the Second World War. Beautifully written and vividly told, this is an exciting journey through India's forgotten frontier. As she delves deeper into the heart of Arunachal Pradesh, Bolingbroke-Kent discovers a unique blend of myth and mystery, steeped in the region's rich cultural heritage.
