Travels in Ladakh & Kashmir by Henry D'oyley Torrens

For travellers who, like us, were anxious to see as much as possible in three short months, and we not disinclined to rough it, I can conceive no better route, leading us as it did through every vicissitude of Himalayan scenery, over the high table-lands of Tibetan Tartary, into the verdant vale of Kashmir, and so back through the tamer but scarcely less beautiful scenery of the lower ranges of the Himalaya, to the tea-planted slopes of the Kangra valley, at which point the traveller may consider his wanderings in what has been called Alpine Punjab at an end.
