The Ganges is a river which has held India's heart captive and drawn uncounted millions to her banks since the dawn of history. Originating in the mist-filled valleys of the Garhwal Himalayas-a land of dense forests, icy white glaciers, clear gurgling streams and towering mountains, a land known as the land of gods-the Ganga traverses hundreds of miles through the heartland till flows into the sea. In this travel memoir, Ruskin Bond provides a wonderfully evocative description of the places and the people he has lived with and encountered over forty years. He captures the splendour of the Himalayan landscape, its streams, wildlife, flowers, villages and places of pilgrimage and always, at the heart of it all, the Ganga.
