Review: Although the recording quality varies throughout the CD I think it is overall a great introduction to the diversity of musical s - Very Eclectic list of music and musical styles from all over the Himalayas. After my first visit to Nepal I attempted to find recordings of some of the traditional village music, but it Kathmandu I could only find recordings of more popular contemporary styles of Nepali music. This CD includes those interesting village instrumentals as well as the haunting chants of Buddhist monks. Although the recording quality varies throughout the CD I think it is overall a great introduction to the diversity of musical styles one may encounter when travelling in the Himalayas. Review: I love this CD! - I am so happy I ordered this CD!!The music is sublime.... I listen to it over and over... oddly the only cut I find hard to listen to is the one of the nuns chanting....I love the diversity in the music, yet I feel there is a similarity in approach...I will keep listening to this CD! It inspires me! ## Images ![Rough Guide to Music of the Himalayas - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1EaiBrkluL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Although the recording quality varies throughout the CD I think it is overall a great introduction to the diversity of musical s *by T***N on May 23, 2016* Very Eclectic list of music and musical styles from all over the Himalayas.

It inspires me! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Himalayan Trek through Multifarious Musical Moods *by C***X on January 26, 2007* The good ol' Rough Guide series, reliable as ever, and they've proven it again with this fine CD. The music on this album is incredible and wide-ranging: from subtle and refined Buddhist chants to exuberant and percussive festival tunes, from folkish flute airs in isolated valleys to streamlined studio collaborations with Western musicians, with hints of many different musical cultures converging and swirling in this mountainous region. Don't expect uniformity from this CD. Just sit back and allow yourself to be taken on a far-flung musical tour of the Himalayan Mountains' wonderful variety of sounds and moods. Ken Hunt's liner notes are nicely written and do a wonderful job of contextualizing each track in a clear, succinct fashion. His style manages to get in just the right amount of detail for the listener's music appreciation without getting bogged down and ponderous; the tone shows the same sense of balance, enthusiastic but not gushy, reverent but with little flashes of wit. And, unlike some of the newer Rough Guide CDs coming out, the descriptions are clearly subdivided and arranged in the same order as the tracks on the CD, so one can follow along with ease (except that tracks 1 and 5 are by the same artists, which threw me for just a second). And that's the point after all, to allow the listener to better enjoy and appreciate the excellent music on this fine CD. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/80352693-rough-guide-to-music-of-the-himalayas](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/80352693-rough-guide-to-music-of-the-himalayas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
