The Diary of a Hunter from the Punjab to the Karakorum Mountains

A first-person travel journal records the preparations, equipment, and assembled retinue for an extended hunting expedition through Kashmir, Ladakh, and the Karakoram. It combines close practical detail on tents, arms, pack animals, and local porters with day-by-day accounts of marches, mountain passes, and fieldcraft. Hunting narratives and natural-history observations describe encounters with ibex, wild yaks, wild horses, and other game, while route descriptions, campsite routine, and occasional reflections on local customs and missionary distribution of religious tracts provide broader context. Entries alternate logistical advice and vivid outdoor reportage, concluding with the return journey and assessments of the expedition's successes and shortcomings.
