The Human Migration is a disarmingly honest travel memoir that takes readers on a profoundly unprepared journey into the Garhwal Himalayas. From perilous cliff-edge Bolero rides to the thermodynamic betrayal of a sub-zero bucket bath, Girish shares an unflinching account of what happens when a city-dwelling executive meets the unforgiving wild. With vivid descriptions of the stunning Swargarohini peaks and the ancient Osla village, readers will feel as though they are panting right alongside Girish on the trail. The book offers an unforgettable mix of blistering ascents, the kind of friendships that only get built by people walking uphill together at altitude, and the realisation that the hardest trails end in places you cannot quite take with you but also cannot leave entirely behind. You want to sleep in a tent. In sub-zero temperatures. Voluntarily. -Vidya, Chapter 3, to the author
