About this book
Joseph Dalton Hooker, the botanist who later directed Kew Gardens, wrote up his travels in eastern India and the Himalaya in this account, first printed in 1854. The early chapters follow his route from Calcutta and its Botanic Garden along the Ganges to Darjeeling, noting plants, rocks, birds and temperature readings on the way. Later in the contents come the Lepcha and Limboo peoples around Darjeeling, with their customs and dress, and excursions into Sikkim, Nepal and the Khasia hills.
