Description
This remarkable hunting diary offers an intimate glimpse into the world of big-game hunting in India and the Himalayas during the colonial period. The anonymous author chronicles detailed accounts of expeditions pursuing some of the world’s most formidable wildlife, including tigers, elephants, and other dangerous game across diverse landscapes.
The narrative captures the thrill of the hunt, the challenges of traversing difficult terrain, and encounters with local guides and communities. Beyond the sporting aspects, the diary provides valuable historical documentation of wildlife populations, geographical features, and cultural practices of the regions explored.
Published by Gyan Publishing House, this work serves as both a personal memoir and a historical record of a vanished era in wildlife and adventure history. It appeals to history enthusiasts, hunters, adventure seekers, and those interested in colonial India’s relationship with its natural heritage.
