This book is in very good condition.

This publication of Eternal Himalaya is unique in its own way, having been printed in a style prevalent almost two centuries ago. It has tried to bring out the antique flavor of the publications of that period. I have tried nriefly to put together in the limited space available to me the mythology, geology, geography and history of Himalaya together with the accounts of the various explorations of the distinguished travelers and explorers of yore, laying stress on the hand account of a distinguished explorer, Lieut. George Francis White of the 31st Regiment.

His account is extremely fascinating. But alas, it has become rare now. That is why it has been reproduced in this book so that the present day reader can have a feel of the romantic travels of the bygone days. It will also help ensure that those pioneering explorers will not be totally forgotten.

Major Hari Pal Singh Ahluwalia (6 November 1936 – 14 January 2022)
was an Indian mountaineer, author, social worker and retired Indian Army officer. During his career he made contributions in the fields of adventure, sports, environment, disability and social work.[2] He is one of six Indian men and the twenty first man in the world to climb Mount Everest. On 29 May 1965, 12 years to the day from the first ascent of Mount Everest, he made the summit with the fourth and final successful attempt of the 1965 Indian Everest Expedition along with H. C. S. Rawat and Phu Dorjee Sherpa. This was the first time three climbers stood on the summit together.
