This is in fact the only detailed account, well illustrated, for a traveler to Ladakh (do you know where is it?), a small Buddhist-Islam country which still preserves many of the traditions already spoiled in Nepal & Sikkim.
For a trekker, this is a precious vade mecum. For a learner, Charlie Loram is a most knowledgeable teacher on the subject.
This book is worth your time and money.
And, thank you Charlie for a superb book!

This is also a good guide book as is the Lonely Planet Guide to the Indian Himalayas. Both have very good information. Maps are better in LP.

This is the best TREKKING guidebook on Ladakh available, and is likely to remain valuable for many years as not much changes in the treks of this region, even if new roads are built and construction continues in the towns.

The format is small enough to fit in your pocket as you trek and the bound edition ensures durability. Practically all treks in the regions are described in details, and excellent hand drawn maps complete job.

You also get intro chapters on India and planning tips.

The LP book is a good complement, I would get both.
