In this book, the narrators attempt to give an account of their journey to Lake Mansarovar via Bekhur and Garo. It also gives interesting glimpses of the journey to Shatul and Boorendo Passes.

Starting their journey from Caunpoor, which was a military cantonment, the narrators first crossed the Doab to arrive at Kalpi and then travelled to Gwalior crossing Chamba, before going on to Agra, Mathura, etc., and later, the Sutlej River. The book is interspersed with interesting anecdotes, histories of the places, historical monuments, and the description of diverse flora and fauna.
Sir Major William Lloyd (1782-1857) was a Welsh military commander, and was one of the first Europeans to ascend a Himalayan peak.

Alexander Gerard (1792-1839) was a Scottish army officer in India, and an early surveyor and explorer of the Himalayas.
