The book launch of the travel saga titled ‘Beyond The Himalayas: Journeying Through The Silk Route’ by Goutam Ghose took place recently at Oxford Bookstore. The author has captured his epic journey through tracing the Silk Route in this film book based on his 1996 documentary Beyond the Himalayas.

Filmmaker Goutam Ghose was part of the Central Asian expedition organized by Major H.P.S. Ahluwalia in 1994, the first of its kind. They undertook an arduous 14,000 km epic journey undertaken in a caravan of Mahindra Armada jeeps through Central Asia, China and Tibet tracing the ancient trade route. This film book is a pictorial chronicle of Ghose’s incredible experience on the Silk Route. Much of the text is the narration of the original soundtrack of the series which has been adapted for the benefit of book readers.

The book launch took place in the presence of Kunal Basu, Aparna Sen and  Jawahar Sircar who was also in conversation with author Goutam Ghose. The session was moderated by Samik Bandyopadhyay.
