All around Jhaltola, are unrestricted views of snow-capped Himalayan ranges, stretching from the Haathi and Gauri Parbat of the Garhwal Himalayas on the extreme left, the entire Kumaon Himalayas from the Nanda Ghunti to the Panchachuli in the centre, to the Aapi and Nampha group of peaks of the Nepal Himalayas on the extreme right. The most recognisable peaks are the dome-shaped Nanda Devi and the pyramid-like Nanda East to its right.

  • Looking for Interpreter Zero: Imperial Intermediaries II
    Looking for Interpreter Zero: Imperial Intermediaries II The Schlagintweit brothers’ account of their expedition to the Indian subcontinent in the 1850s acknowledged the crucial role of their interpreters Christine ADAMS. Published: September 29, 2019 Last updated: April 27, 2020 During our travels in Tíbet and Turkistán, and also in some parts of Sikkim, we had to engage different men, who knew Hindostáni as well as the languages of the countries we were traversing. Besides filling their office as interpreters, they occasionally gave us valuable geographic information about the countries bordering our line of route, and proved of great use in our linguistic enquiries about dialects and geographical names. [1] In 1861, the Schlagintweit brothers, Hermann and Robert, published the first volume of Results of a Scientific Mission to India and High Asia, their account of the research carried out in India in 1854-7 with their brother Adolphe, at the behest of the East India Company with additional funding from the kings of Prussia and Bavaria. The survey was a complicated series of excursions across India and the Himalayan region involving all three, two or just one of the brothers in a variety of mapping, measuring and collecting activities. The original project of a magnetic survey expanded into a vast undertaking involving “large-scale data gathering through a vast array of modern precision instruments with numerous local observations on geology, meteorology, botany and zoology and also included an intensely cartographic and aesthetic orientation.” [2] The Establishment They made a point of listing of all those who had made up their ‘Establishment’ or staff at the beginning of that first volume, before providing their calculations of latitude and longitude and tables of magnetic observations.
