Ladakh

Ladakh, a high-altitude region often called the final stronghold of Tibetan civilization, is the subject of this study. Janet Rizvi examines how Buddhism and Islam came together in this mountain crossroads, producing a culture that stands apart from its neighbors.

The book looks at the region's past alongside its oral traditions, economic life, literature and material objects. It is presented as a first scholarly examination of Ladakh as a whole, making it a reference point for readers interested in the Himalayas and the cultures shaped by the region's trade and belief.
