The Himalayan region has always been treasured for its biodiversity, yet the Western Himalayas remain a fairly overlooked area, both in scholarship and in natural history. While visitors to the Mukteshwar landscape are attracted by its scenic beauty, old temples, and hill station charm, this book is intended to provide visitors and locals alike with a familiarity and appreciation of the unique Oak-Pine ecosystems of the Western Himalayas for their rich flora. This field guide serves as an introduction to the flora of the region, listing a selection of 88 species of common trees and shrubs with over 250 colour photographs and descriptions of key identification features. The book is intended to be a trusted companion to conscious visitors as wellas local residents, one that may aid in a fuller appreciation of this beautiful and important landscape. It is hoped that site- specific guides such as this can contribute to local tourism and encourage nature engagement and emerging naturalists in the local community.
