Description

About The Book: In this book, the author recounts his journey through the Indian Plains and Himalayas, highlighting the significant advancements in travel that have made pleasure trips to India more accessible. In the past, such aspirations were met with surprise, as few embarked on leisurely visits to India due to the arduous nature of the journey. Anglo-Indian life was described as uninviting, with oppressive heat, monotonous station life, and the presence of creepy creatures. However, times have changed, and now travelers can explore India's wonders without enduring its hardships. The author shares their delightful year-long adventure, traversing diverse landscapes, from majestic mountains to vibrant cities, all while avoiding extreme heat and discomfort. Their experience was akin to an effortless journey in England, filled with charm and carefree exploration.
