Nanda Devi – Exploration and Ascent

a compilation of the classic books’Nanda Devi› and ‹The ascent of Nanda Devi›,
Expedition in the Garwhal Himalaya in 1934: At last, an expedition book to get
enthusiastic about. It’s a re-release, but none the worse for that. In fact,
this ace compilation of Shipton & Tilman’s accounts of mountaineering travels
on and around Garhwal’s Queen of Peaks, Nanda Devi, is more than simply a re-
issue of two classic texts (Nanda Devi (1936) and The Ascent of Nanda Devi
(1937)). The new composite publication has been given a thorough makeover
which adds considerable value to the originals.
