Tales from Landour and Beyond

In winter, when snow covers the higher ranges, the Himalayan bears come to lower altitudes in
search of food. Sometimes they forage in fields and because they are short-sighted and suspicious
of anything that moves, they can be dangerous. But, like most wild animals, they avoid humans as
much as possible.

Travel alongside Ruskin Bond: through the familiar bustle of Landour Bazaar, along cedar-scented
paths where laughter mingles with birdsong, to the high, sacred ridges where the majestic spire of
Tungnath Temple touches the sky in reverence.

Steal glances at the ethereal blue umbrella, slip on the treacherous terrain of a glacier and breathe in
the mystical mountain air, as you tread through stories alive with the rugged spirit of the mountains.
Whether it is an encounter with the sharp eyes of an eagle or a long walk for Granny's glasses, each
tale is a journey into the heart of the Himalayas.

Pull up a chair, let the mists roll in, and settle down to read these Tales from Landour and Beyond
