₹155,000
A compelling firsthand account of early 19th-century Sikh dominion.
This is the first English edition of Baron Charles Hügel’s celebrated travelogue—an indispensable narrative of early 19th-century Northwestern India, including Kashmir, Lahore, and the Punjab, originally published in German as Kaschmir und das Reich der Siek (1840–1841). A distinguished Austrian botanist, explorer, and diplomat, Hügel journeyed through the region between 1835 and 1836, and his observations remain a cornerstone of early Sikh historiography and Himalayan ethnography.
