	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Review: Nanda Devi: A Journey to the Last Sanctuary by Hugh Thomson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		The great valley running along its southern wall, the Nanda Devi Sanctuary, which Thomson describes as "a veldt of high grassland, curling around the mountain in a way that managed to be both inviting and grandiose", had been closed to foreigners for many years because of its delicate position on the border with Tibet.
		Nanda Devi has always been worshipped in the Garhwal as a manifestation of the Lord Shiva's consort Parvati and has therefore been treated immaculately.
		Just as chilling (but in a different class) is the tale of 22-year-old Devi Unsoeld, who went to the mountain she'd been named after with her father and her fiancé in 1976, on a special expedition.
