This early work by Francis Younghusband was originally published in 1924
and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography.
'Wonders of The Himalaya' is a work that details the authors adventures
while travelling in the Himalayas. Francis Younghusband was born in 1863
at Munree, British India, the son of Major-General John W. Younghusband
and Clara Jane Shaw. Younghusband travelled extensively throughout Asia,
exploring the Changbai Mountains and areas of Manchuria. He also
navigated an uncharted route from Kashgar to India through the Mustagh
Pass, which earned him the honour of being elected as the youngest
member of the Royal Geographical Society. He wrote widely on the subject
of his travels, producing works such as: 'South Africa of To-day'
(1899), 'India and Tibet' (1910), and 'Kashmir' (1911). He also wrote
several works of a mystical nature.
