This volume brings together current research on Ladakh as presented at two colloquia held in Bristol and London. It contains 19 papers on the archaeology and history of Ladakh, on religion and social structure, and on health, conservation and development. The book commemorates the 150th anniversary of the death of Csoma de Koros, the Hungarian scholar who laid the foundations of the formal study of Tibetan, from studies carried out in Zangskar, Ladakh.
