The Himalayas stand apart as a large identifiable region and mountain societies have much in common that bind them together. This volume presents a detailed discussion on how, despite the similarities, Himalayan societies are diverse in terms of various aspects such as environment, inter-caste relations, marriage customs, religious practices, and folk traditions.
