Horse-trekking gone awry; men who hunt with eagles; remote and beautiful places; and somewhat suspicious food. More thoughts on travel in Kyrgyzstan.
Hiking, horses, and hotsprings. Amazing views, mountain homestays and yurt camps. Life’s good when you’re nomading in Krygyzstan.
A few days in and around Bikaner to see Junagarh Fort and even more weirdly interesting, Karni Mata – a temple devoted to sacred rats. Incredible India.
An unusual destination with plenty of stuff to do. Maybe it’s just me, but popping into Pakistan seemed like a perfectly obvious side-trip from India.
India to Pakistan: the Wagah border closes every day with a dramatic ceremony. It’s the only border crossing I’ve ever done that involved a stroll through a stadium.
More than a billion people call India home and it can feel pretty crowded. That’s one of the reasons why I think it’s a great place to travel alone.
Rishikesh – there’s something for everyone, even if soul-searching isn’t your thing. Travelling in India is a lesson on just going with the flow.
New Delhi to Agra is an easy day trip by train. What could be more quintessentially India than train travel and an afternoon at the Taj Mahal?
After a safari in the Masai Mara and some days on Lamu, I set off wandering down Kenya’s gorgeous coast, from Malindi to Mombasa.
