Where The Indus Is Young chronicles Dervla Murphy's remarkable winter trek through Baltistan in the mid-1970s with her six-year-old daughter Rachel and their mule Hallam. For three months they traveled along the perilous Indus Gorge and remote valleys near Pakistan-held Kashmir, navigating the frozen heart of the Western Himalayas and the forbidding Karakoram mountains. Murphy captures the challenges and rewards of lodging with the Balts who farm one of Earth's most remote regions, using humor and enthusiasm to overcome mid-winter hardships and cultural barriers. This hair-raising, quirky travel narrative showcases Murphy's fearless approach to adventure travel, combining vivid descriptions of magnificent mountain landscapes with intimate portraits of isolated Himalayan communities. The book stands as a classic of travel writing, documenting an extraordinary journey through one of the world's most inaccessible regions.
