The frozen river : seeking silence in the Himalaya
Crowden, James, 1954-2020
Books
In 1976, aged 22, James Crowden undertook a unique journey to the very remote high altitude Tibetan valley; Zangskar. He had deliberately sought out this remoteness. He wanted to know what life was like there, what life and society might look like before the arrival of the road. Over 40 years later, in a world starved of silence, Crowden wrote a book about his remarkable experience: 'The Frozen River'. In mesmerising prose, Crowden recounts his experience of solitude and encounter in the Zangskar Valley.
