Elizabeth Hawley was a famous journalist and historian, recognized for her work relating to Himalayan mountaineering expeditions. Her contribution was not related to writing about historical monuments in India (Option 1), regional dances in India (Option 2), or wildlife in India (Option 4). These options relate to different fields and regions - historical, cultural and ecological respectively- than the one Hawley is attributed with. Her work was centred around documenting the attempts, successful or otherwise, of climbers in the Himalayas, particularly in Nepal. Hence, the correct answer is option 3, `Himalayan expeditions`.
