Publisher's Summary

Alastair Humphreys walked across India, from the Coromandel Coast to the Malabar Coast, following the course of a holy river. Walking alone and spending the nights sleeping under the stars, in the homes of welcoming strangers, or in small towns and villages, he experienced the dusty enchantment of ordinary, real India on the smallest of budgets.  

There Are Other Rivers tells the story of the walk through an account of a single day as well as reflecting on the allure of difficult journeys and the eternal appeal of the open road.

Why adventure?

Nice thoughtful book mulling over wanderlust, with some nice anecdotes about the journey in question in India thrown in. Definitely resonated with me, and makes me want to get out the door/go back to India some day.

Wanderlust, summarized :)

This was a lovely reminder that wanderlust and travel are easily accessible, even in your everyday life. A reminder to be humble, grateful, enjoy the little things, and get caught up in the present :).
