Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
Adventure Guides India, Pakistan and the Himalaya Across the River "The bridge runs high above the split channels of the Hunza River for well over 328 feet, and has all the challenging characteristics of bad dreams and those one-wrong-step-and-you're-doomed jungle dramas.... Local youngsters, as young as seven, run across at full speed, of course."
Off the Ski Trail "With a whoop I launched into the run, slaloming between trees and always looking for any hidden ledges and drops. While I avoided these, Juna headed straight for them and took great pleasure in flying off them to an inevitable wipe-out in the deep snow below."
Off Road "Initially, our root snaked along a narrow path surrounded by trees, which occasionally arched over to form natural tunnels for us to swoop through. It was fast and engrossing action and we needed to concentrate hard to avoid getting caught out by numerous axle-deep rivulet washouts that criss-crossed the trail."
In Ancient Cities "At the water's edge, men and women stood in the water washing their clothes and linen by swinging them over their heads and slapping them against specially raised stone blocks on the bank. Laid out to dry, the washing virtually cloaked the entire bank."
