"The Diary of a Hunter from the Punjab to the Karakorum Mountains" is a travel narrative written by Augustus Henry Irby. Published in 1863, the book captures Irby's experiences as a hunter and traveler in the regions extending from the Punjab, a historical region in South Asia, to the Karakoram Mountains.

Augustus Henry Irby, an English naturalist and adventurer, provides an account of his journeys, detailing the landscapes, wildlife, and encounters with local cultures during his hunting expeditions. The narrative likely reflects the Victorian-era fascination with exploration, natural history, and the allure of distant and exotic lands.

For readers interested in 19th-century travel literature, big-game hunting, and the regions of South Asia, particularly the Karakoram Mountains, Irby's diary offers a firsthand perspective on the challenges and adventures of a hunter exploring the remote and rugged landscapes.
