TRUE STORIES. Crossing the high Himalayan passes in the middle of winter on horseback is not for the faint-hearted. The Victorian traveller, Maria Caroline Bolitho, although largely unknown, was cur from the same seasoned cloth as more famous women explorers of the time.

"Hospitality in Ladakh was warm but basic..." Miss Bolitho was a keen observer and a faithful recorder of people, customs and dress, as well as flora and fauna. She pondered on the behaviour of yaks and the correct way to eat mangos - "before a bath" - as well as noting the difficulty of washing clothes. This was unheard of in Ladakh where neither bodies nor clothes were ever washed
