A lovely original vintage poster promoting India as a travel destination using a rendering of two monks playing their Dungchen instruments in Kanchenjunga near Darjeeling. Dungchen is a long trumpet or horn used in Tibetan Buddhist and Mongolian Buddhist ceremonies
Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world (after Mount Everest and K2), with an altitude of 8,586 meters (28,169 ft). The Kangchenjunga Himal section of the Himalayas lies both in Nepal and India and encompasses 16 peaks over 7,000 m (23,000 ft).
In very good condition. Just some slight creasing at left edge. Marked "Not to be sold" :-)
