What it's about
The Kashmir Handbook (1872‑73) is a travel guide by John Ince aimed at visitors to Kashmir. Drawing on his local knowledge, Ince describes the geography, scenery, climate, routes of travel, towns, and natural features of the Kashmir Valley and its surroundings. The book gives details of practical aspects: carriage and travel rates, postal rules, markets, trade (especially jewellery), and necessary preparations for tourists. Several appendices offer useful data (e.g. rates, trade practices) and there is a bibliography of works related to the region. It serves both as a picturesque account and a practical guide for 19th‑century travellers.
