Book
On the Hippie Trail: Istanbul to Kathmandu and the making of a travel writer
by Rick Steves
On the shelf? Just pop in.
In the 1970s, the ultimate trip for any backpacker was the storied 'Hippie Trail' from Istanbul to Kathmandu. A 23-year-old Rick Steves made the trek, and like a travel writer in training, he documented everything along the way. From taking wild bus rides through Turkey to enduring monsoons in India, the experience ignited his love of travel and forever broadened his perspective on the world. 'On the Hippie Trail' contains Rick's journals from 1978 - the last year the trip was possible - and full-colour travel photos from this trek of a lifetime through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Nepal.
