Publisher Description
An extraordinary photojournalistic accounting of a 1973 overland journey from the North shore of Belgium to the base of the Himalayas in Nepal. 10,000 miles in 5 months at a time when the door was closing to Americans wanting to travel the same route.
In 1973, the world was just at the brink of a shift we are still reeling from today, more than 40 years later. Events that would significantly change the direction of human history forever. In what could be considered a blink of an eye, the world lost a large portion of its remaining innocence. By the next year, we, as Americans, could not have repeated the trip, right to this very moment.
The world was far from an ideal place, but it did allow 2 young American men
to travel safely and unabated in countries and areas few Americans had
ever seen or experienced.

Wonderful
Fantastic read and visual journey into the past. Knowing this trip from Belgium to Nepal can never be replicated again the way it was, I’m especially grateful to have lived vicariously through this book.
Gem
Many have travelled few see so much beauty. Fascinating to read about the early days of travel -imagine being able to write from experience about Pokhara, Nepal when it had only one guest house!
Fantastic story!
Beautiful glimpse into the past of the Middle East. It was especially enjoyable to read the pages on Afghanistan and Kashmir!
