Ganga Descends: by Ruskin Bond.

A collection of real life stories and pictures of the region, especially Gangaa river (known with its deformed name Ganges in the west), from Himaalayan region around the Gangaa valley where Ruskin Bond has made his home in Mussoorie situated between the Gangaa and the Yamunaa valleys.

This book is the coffee table edition with hard cover and pictures galore, while another edition has a paperback small size and more stories than photographs. This one is a pleasure to reminisce over when one is just back from a trip and would like to have stayed there forever.

And the pictures don't cover all of one's memories, of course, but add to them as well on the other hand.
