Featuring the author's clear and extensive translations of original sources and field experiences, it brings to life the myths and legends of Gangotri in a lucid and engaging style. In this compelling account, the author has painlessly preached various phenomena associated with the glaciers of Central Himalaya along their dynamics in a bizarre fashion. The content of this book has been arranged and rejuvenated in such a way that each chapter introduces the motive and then familiarizes the readers with all the associated principles and applications in an analytical manner. Text depicted is enthralling, inspirational and an impressive testimony to one man's unquenchable curiosity for exploring and conserving these Eden's of Central Himalaya.<br/><br/>Subject mentioned in the book also limelight's the threats posed to Gangotri glacier valley through alterations in weather and climate patterns and recent hefty anthropogenic interventions. The voyage of the author from Gangotri temple to the glacier's snout followed by trekking to Badrinath through the treacherous Kalindi pass is breathtaking. Phenomenal detailing of every location visited makes these whereabouts tangible to the readers and at the same time boggling the reader's mind to envisage for the fate of these utopias.
