India - a continent of diverse landscapes - stretches from the arid Thar deserts of Rajasthan and stony Rann of Kutch in the northwest, across the massive Himalayan peaks separating neighbouring Nepal. In between lie forested foothills, lush evergreen bamboo tracts, and damp tropical forests harbouring exotically coloured orchids, butterflies, birds and insects.
Here, in 300 splendid photographs, supported by factual text, the natural wonders of India and Nepal are revealed.
