Magic Bus: On the Hippie Trail from Istanbul to India by Rory Maclean

travel

Having done the "backpacking trail" across Europe a few decades ago, I was particularly interested in reading about my more adventurous fellow hippies who went all the way to India.
The author retraces their steps, contrasting their world view and the situation then with present-day realities in some very challenged areas. He meets the locals, as well as aging hippies and people who remember the 60's. Quite an interesting look at then and now.
