A Classic 1995 Himalayan Trekking Memoir of Winter Travel in Baltistan

Irish travel writer Dervla Murphy records a winter journey through the Karakoram mountains of Baltistan in Northern Pakistan, accompanied by her six-year-old daughter, Rachel, and a pack pony named Hallam. Traveling on foot through snowbound valleys along the upper Indus River, the pair braved freezing temperatures and treacherous cliff paths.

Murphy's journal chronicles daily stays in remote Balti villages, detailing local mountain hospitality, traditional diets, and the physical realities of winter trekking with a young child.
