description: At the very tip of northern India lives Ladakh. This primitive land of wind-swept plateaux and snow-scarred deserts is spread across the towering citadels of the Great Himalayan and Karakoram ranges. During the last fourteen years Purkayastha has journeyed endlessly through this wilderness, where time has ceased to march on. For, in this last bastion of ancient Tibetan culture, breathes a magical way of life in which little has changed through the centuries. And, it is this age-old tapestry that Purkayastha reverently reveals in his book Ladakh.
