Journey through India - expected 05/2021

It's hard to avoid India; it's the seventh-largest country in the world. No-one should need any encouragement to visit the place; it's a sensory explosion you won't find anywhere else. Mark Probert travelled with Dr Nick Lindsay, his friend of over forty years. The boys were determined to get to know the country, its people, history and menus. Travel with them by plane, car, motorcycle, camel, tuk-tuk and train, on a five-week adventure as they:

Cross the sub-continent from coast to coast
Visit the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the Taj Mahal, and more temples and forts than you can shake a cinnamon stick at
Nearly get arrested on their first day in the country
Explore the depths of a meteorite crater and the heights of the Himalayas
Witness corpses burning on the banks of the Ganges at Varanasi
Chill out in Bodh Gaya - where Buddha attained enlightenment

Enjoy the contrasting regions of India. Travel from Mumbai in the west to Kolkata in the east - via Aurangabad, Jaisalmer, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Shimla, Agra, Jodhpur, Varanasi and Bodh Gaya. By observing, mixing and learning along the way, Mark and Nick aimed to be travellers, not just tourists. In this book you will discover:

Some must do places to visit - not found in the usual guidebooks
The impact of the British in India - it's sadly not all good
How much fun (and cheap) it can be to eat and travel with the locals

This book will take you beyond the standard tourist sites. Expecting a stream of whacky incidents. And lots of cows.
