Product Description
Watch our podcast with Deepa and Nandini all about Headstrap on our YouTube channel.
Headstrap is a book focussed on the Darjeeling Sherpas, the community of people who, centuries ago, first migrated from Tibet to Nepal and then to the foothills of the Himalaya in northern India, becoming renowned for their skills as expedition porters from the turn of the 20th century. The content of the book is based upon oral histories collected by its authors: Nandini Purandare, economist, Honorary President of the Himalayan Club and editor of The Himalayan Journal and Deepa Balsavar, a writer and illustrator of children’s books and adjunct associate professor at the Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay.
Headstrap weaves a vivid tapestry of the Darjeeling Sherpa community, giving them the recognition in mountaineering literature that they deserve.
Headstrap is published by Mountaineers Books.
