Starting out from Amritsar to Delhi by train, this is a record of Sean McGrath’s travels in India. With engaging detail, he describes rail travel in the country. Arriving in Delhi, he walks through the station and out into the city, jostling through the crowds, the beggars and hawkers peddling their wares. He sets off for the Indian Himalayas, taking an overnight bus to the hill station of Manali. There he stays in a farm house, visits the surrounding hippie villages, the Himachal temples, and treks up to mountain villages through pine wood forests and spectacular mountain scenery.
