The author shares his knowledge from several visit to this area which for many years was very difficult to traverse and still is one of the more challenging and remote areas. We are taken on a trip from north to south divided up in to several sections, each with a page or two of introductory information followed by numerous colour photos of the plants by both the author and others, and sometimes scenery and animals. Much cheaper, and more comfortable, than going there yourself and a good substitute for most of us!
