The #Himalayas have witnessed faith, folklore, and fierce battles — but during the #ColdWar, they became the silent chessboard for global espionage. Today, we are excited to announce the launch of a gripping new pocketbook thriller from BharatKatha Comics and Publications:

The Kanchanjanga Experiment is now officially released.
A story inspired by the real #1965 #NandaDevi Plutonium Incident — one of the most secretive missions ever attempted in the Indian Himalayas.
High in the shadow of #Kanchanjanga, a man known only as Zaif awakens inside a frozen cave. Wounded. Disoriented. A stranger in a strange era. Moments earlier, he slipped through a crack in time; moments later, he is rescued by a wandering Tibetan monk who senses a destiny wrapped in frost and fire.
But the mountains are not calm for long.
Zaif soon finds himself pulled into a covert Indo–U.S. mission involving a nuclear-powered spy device — a classified operation meant to monitor Chinese military movement across the world’s highest frontier. As the expedition advances deeper into ice and uncertainty, storm clouds gather not just above the peaks, but within the mission’s own ranks.
What begins as a collaboration quickly unravels into sabotage, mistrust, and betrayal.
American operatives hide more than they reveal.
Chinese infiltrators stalk the slopes disguised as pilgrims.
And the mountain itself tests every step with merciless precision.
When Zaif encounters General Arjun Rathod, a visionary strategist who will one day shape the foundations of Indian intelligence, the two men recognize each other not by past acquaintance — but by shared purpose. Together, they navigate a deadly world of shadow wars, shifting alliances, and invisible enemies.
And in that moment, a new era begins:
An era of unseen defenders and untold missions.
An era where history is rewritten not in textbooks — but in the snow.
The Kanchanjanga Experiment is a cinematic #thriller that fuses:
– Himalayan mystique
– Espionage and counterintelligence
– Time travel’s haunting consequences
– Cold War science
– India’s emerging identity as a silent power
This is the story of a man displaced in time yet destined to guard a nation.
A story where myth meets mission. Where the mountains keep secrets deeper than ice.
Now available as part of the Zaif Pocket Book Series.
This release marks the beginning of an expansive saga weaving India’s hidden operations, forgotten warriors, supernatural edges, and alternate timelines into one breathtaking universe.
If you love Cold War intrigue, Himalayan lore, and Indian pulp-style thrillers — this is a journey you don’t want to miss.
