Land of the Dawn-lit Mountains: Shortlisted for the 2018 Edward Stanford Travel Writing Award

A thrilling and dangerous adventure though the Himalayan state of Arunachal Pradeshâ€”a mountainous area in to the far north-eastern corner of Indiaâ€”one of the worldâ€™s least explored regions.

Arunachal Pradeshâ€”meaning â€œland of the dawn-lit mountainsâ€â€”has remained uniquely isolated. Steeped in myth and mystery, not since pith-helmeted explorers went in search of the fabled â€œFalls of the Brahmaputraâ€ has an outsider dared to traverse itâ€”until now. Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent sets out to chronicle this forgotten corner of Asia, travelling more than 2,000 miles she encounters shamans, lamas, hunters, opium farmers, fantastic tribal festivals, and little-known stories from the Second World War. In the process, she discovers a world and a way of living that are on the cusp of changing forever.

Beautifully written and vividly told, this is an exciting and exuberant journey through Indiaâ€™s forgotten frontier.
