Hidden Himalayas: Remote Treks in Bhutan, Nepal & Ladakh is a deeply personal journey into some of the world's most remote and sacred landscapes. Told in an intimate first-person narrative, the book invites readers to walk alongside the author across high passes, through silent valleys, and into monasteries where prayer flags flutter against endless skies. From Bhutan's cliff-side temples to Nepal's snowbound passes, and across Ladakh's stark desert plateaus, the narrative blends adventure travel with spiritual reflection. It is not merely a chronicle of trails walked and peaks admired, but an exploration of solitude, fear, resilience, and the inner transformations that come when the noise of modern life falls away. Along the way, encounters with monks, herders, porters, and strangers reveal the extraordinary generosity of mountain communities, while the landscape itself becomes a teacher - demanding patience, humility, and surrender. The Himalayas here are not just mountains to be admired; they are mirrors in which the self is both stripped bare and remade. Part travelogue, part meditation, Hidden Himalayas is for anyone who has longed to step beyond the familiar, to test body and spirit in landscapes where time seems to stand still. It is a reminder that the true hidden Himalayas are not only on remote maps, but also within ourselves.
