Where Tour Buses Won’t Go is the natural sequel to James Anderson’s first book, Threadbare Tales from Silk Road. Twenty-eight years after his first extreme travel adventure, James returns to India and continues his signature-style, cultural investigation as ‘The Other’.
This book serves as your ticket to ride along with the author. Be abducted at the airport, witness back-alley intrigue, and experience the colorful pageantry of India at festival time. Trek through tiger country in the Himalayas of beautiful Kashmir, then leave in a broken-down bus. Rumble along in trains, tuk-tuks, and rickshaws.
Be a guest of the poorest and sit down with the powerful. Share fragrant foods and sweet tea. Behave yourself at military checkpoints. Mix with street people. Enter ancient temples at daybreak.
This ticket you hold allows you to venture forth where tourists most definitely would not go.
