Book Summary
Curious Tales From The Himalayas is a beguiling collection of short stories that transports readers to the ethereal landscapes and timeless folklore of the Himalayan world. With stories that blend adventure, humor, and wisdom, this paperback edition invites you into settings—from Ladakh’s windswept high plains to Tibet’s quiet glens and Himachal Pradesh’s bustling villages. Ideal for readers who love folklore, cultural tales, and journeys of curiosity, this book offers an uplifting and adventurous reading experience for teens and adults alike.
Written by sisters Shaguna and Prarthana Gahilote, Curious Tales From The Himalayas weaves together storytelling, journalism, and art into a single, warm voice. The book unfolds across a tapestry of characters and realms: a hungry red fox on a path to enlightenment, a probing frog in Ladakh, a kingdom sent into migration by a mysterious prophecy, and a teacher and student who discover a magical herb in the shadow of the mountains. The tales are structured as short, lovingly crafted narratives that emphasize pace, mood, and discovery, making the journey as enjoyable as the destination. You’ll feel the crunch of mountain air, taste the thenthuk, and sense how culture, nature, and imagination intertwine.
After finishing Curious Tales From The Himalayas, readers carry a sense of wonder about Himalayan life and a renewed curiosity about the stories that cultures keep passing down. The book leaves you with warmth, inspiration to explore, and a lasting appreciation for the rich tapestry of life, culture, and the universal quest for understanding.
