About this book
Western Himalaya and Tibet is a narrative of a journey through the mountains of Northern India, during the years 1847-8, by Thomas Thomson, assistant surgeon Bengal Army. The preface says that on the termination of the journey in Tibet, the writer submitted to the Indian Government a detailed report of his observations in that country. The text says that in the shady ravines north of Kussowlee, where there is the greatest approach to forest, a species of laurel is the most conspicuous tree.
The text says two Labiate shrubs, Plectranthus rugosus and Meriandra strobilifera, are particularly abundant on the slopes between Haripur and Sairi, and strongly mark the aridity of the climate. The text says ploughing was the universal occupation of the villagers, and the yellow flowers of Tussilago Farfara were everywhere seen expanding on the clayey banks. The index lists, among others, Gold-washing in Khapalu, Granite in Chorbat, Greenstone near Hanle, and Hangarang district.
