About the Book
Historical Sites of Zanskar is an effort to identify and comprehensively document the historical sites of Zanskar, the southernmost region of Ladakh, where the discipline of modern Tibetology is considered to have been formed. The present survey of Zanskar brought to light nearly two hundred seventy historical sites covering monasteries, forts, chortens (stupas), petroglyphs, Buddhist carvings, temples, caves, etc. The documentation is a collaborative effort of INTACH Listing Cell and INTACH Ladakh Chapter, which has been carried out by Dr Quentin Devers, a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) within the Research Centre for East Asian Civilizations (CRCAO), Paris.
