Two Wheels in the Dust From Kathmandu to Kandy – Anne Mustoe (old/rare)

Two Wheels in the Dust From Kathmandu to Kandy – Anne Mustoe|

Beginning in Kathmandu in Nepal, and ending in the tranquill hill town of Kandy in Sri Lanka, Anne Mustoe’s amazing journey by bicycle followed the path of the Ramayana’s central characters Rama and Sita — and Hanuman, their divine helper. With her chosen method of transport, she was able to mix and interact with local people; to learn of their customs and daily lives in ways that are closed to the conventional traveller. Rich experiences make up this remarkable adventure, and the book is packed with anecdotes that really bring the journey alive.The Indian subcontinent is explored in all its cultural and spiritual diversity and the story is told with sympathy, humour, keen observation and the relish of the open road.
