Trevor H Braham (born 22 April 1922), is a British former Himalayan explorer and mountaineer most active in the mid-20th century. Braham joined the Himalayan Club in 1946 becoming its regional secretary based in Calcutta by March 1949. He had joined the Swiss Alpine Club in 1948, and later the Alpine Club in 1951.

This is a telling insight into a time when mountains were not subjected to the all-out onslaught of tourist climbers ticking off the peaks as they went, leaving a landscape littered with waste.

His When The Alps Cast Their Spell won the 2004 Boardman-Tasker award. In this short but engaging book Trevor Braham reminds all those who flock to the honeypots of the Khumbu that there is a world of endless fascination beyond. Braham recounts his post-war journeys in Garhwal, Sikkim, Karakorum and the North-West Frontier, spanning the period 1947 to 1972. None of these trips achieves spectacular results. Indeed Braham's wanderings are notable for their lack of success! And herein lies the charm of the book.

Glasgow, In Pinn Press, 2008. 107 pages, colored plates. It is fascinating to read the two books side by side. Himalayan Odyssey is a like a slide lecture, an accurate narrative of fresh events. Himalayan Playground is a story told before a fire with a glass of wine; while accurate, it conveys a feeling of bygone days. The tale is mellowed by the passing of years and the gaining of a greater perspective. Braham’s descriptions reflect what it was like to go into those mountain regions at that time, the challenges of the terrain, the weather, and the relationship with the local people.
