One winter, Dervla Murphy, the four-footed Hallam (the mule) and her six-year-old daughter Rachel explored 'Little Tibet' high up in the Karakoram Mountains in the frozen heart of the Western Himalayas - on the Pakistan side of the disputed border with Kashmir. For three months they travelled along the perilous Indus Gorge and into nearby valleys. Even when beset by crumbling tracks over bottomless chasms, an assault by a lascivious dashniri, the unnerving melancholy of the Balts - the heroic highland farmers who inhabit the area - and Rachel's continual probing questions, this formidable traveller retained her enthusiasm for her surroundings and her sense of humour. First published in 1977, "Where the Indus is Young" is pure Murphy. 'The grandeur, weirdness, variety and ferocity of this region cannot be exaggerated,' she writes of the sub-zero temperatures, harsh winds and whipping sands that they faced. However much the region may have changed due to current day political situations her descriptions of the mountain splendour and cultures she explores are appropriately timeless.

Revue de presse :
Altogether the most appallingly fascinating travel book I have ever read (The Times)
Such is the author's love of travelling and of this untouched wilderness that the lasting impression left by this book is one of sheer joy (Sunday Telegraph)
It is her real reverence for natural beauty that gives her writing its special quality ... Dervla Murphy's books are so much more than traveller's tales (Daily Telegraph)
One of Dervla Murphy's most considerable gifts is the ability to choose, get into, live in - and take us back to - places where the world is as it was and probably ever shall be. She is a connoisseur of lost Arcadias (Times Literary Supplement)
The fascination of this book lies in the author's gallantry, humour and resource in conditions which would appal the stoutest explorers (Irish Times)

One winter, Dervla Murphy and her six-year-old daughter explored 'Little Tibet' high up in the Karakoram Mountains in the frozen heart of the Western Himalayas. For three months they travelled on foot and on pony along the perilous Indus Gorge and into nearby valleys. Even when beset by crumbling tracks over bottomless chasms, an assault by a lascivious Kashmiri, the unnerving melancholy of the Balts, and Rachel's continual probing questions, this formidable traveller retained her enthusiasm for her surroundings and her sense of humour.
Hair-raising, gloriously subjective and with the quirky vitality of fiction, the resulting book is a classic of travel writing.
