Millions of young people in the 70's poured from their homelands to remote regions of the world, filled with a pressing need to explore cultures where ages-old spiritual traditions were still intact. Places of particular interest or beauty had been discovered by early waves of explorers- word spread and a chain of destinations gradually formed which spanned the globe - the "Hippie Trail." Accompany our wayfarer and travel with him at his snail's pace as he moves overland - from Latin America to Morocco, Greece through Turkey, Persia and Afghanistan to India - often with only small bits of change in his pockets. Experience his shaky beginnings as an insecure and lonely neophyte, and grow with him as he evolves into a toughened and savvy navigator of far-away lands. Carried by his wits and many mystifying interventions of destiny, he encountered and lived through a continuing succession of often profound life experiences. This book reads nearer to a novel than travel-log, his relationships with the cast of real characters weave and tumble; their stories are told along with his own. Adventurous and introspective reading for the armchair voyager of all ages, and background for the young foot-soldiers out there on those same roads today.

It was a new age, one called the Age of Aquarius, with a restless, ideological generation full of a reverence for new worlds opening up to new ideas. When the Beatles introduced the mystique of India to pop culture, the Hippie Trail was established as hip adventurers traveled overland from Europe to Kathmandu and India. Hunter was not among these hipsters. Still bitter over the way he was treated as a Marine combat veteran home from the Vietnam War, he felt the allure of the open road in America and in Europe. While getting visas in Vienna, he came across a Polish girl, Ewa, whose Politburo father got her unequal privileges she gladly abused to join Hunter on the trek to India to check out the new-age ashrams. Shared experiences and hardships bonded them, but Cold War politics made falling in love the worst hardship of all.

This is a story of my Overland trips from London to Kathmandu in the early seventies. This was an interesting time with many changes going on, many of the travelers being born at the end of the Second World War and others post war baby boomers. We had moved through rock and roll, Dylan, Beatles, Hippies, the racial changes in the US, cold war, and still had the war in Vietnam, which most of us were against. What made us take an overland journey from Europe to Kathmandu? For many of us it was travel to the unknown, an adventure, plus an escape from conformity. It could be said it was the fore runner of the backpacker travel movement now a rite of passage for young people today. We in fact were following Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Monguls and Mughal invaders, Muslim Arab armies, as well as trading caravans which gave some of our route the romantic name of the Silk Road.

In 1965 Patricia and her new husband set off for a honeymoon in Europe. Little did she know that this trip would turn into a two-year journey that would take them around the world on a bare-bones budget, living in a camper van for the first year and then making their way across Asia by train, bus, and hitchhiking. In those days with no mobile phones, no Internet, and few guidebooks, they were out of contact with family for months at a time while dodging a cholera epidemic in Iraq, meeting with a maharaja in India, sleeping in a palace in Pakistan, and floating down the Mekong River in Laos. The journey had become a way of life.

This is the first history of the Hippie Trail. It records the joys and pains of budget travel to Kathmandu, India, Afghanistan and other ‘points east’ in the 1960s and 1970s. Written in a clear, simple style, it provides detailed analysis of the motivations and the experiences of hundreds of thousands of hippies who travelled eastwards. The book is structured around four key debates: were the travellers simply motivated by a search for drugs? Did they encounter love or sexual freedom on the road? Were they basically just tourists? Did they resemble pilgrims? It also considers how the travellers have been represented in films, novels and autobiographical accounts, and will appeal to those interested in the Trail or the 1960s counterculture, as well as students taking courses relating to the 1960s.

In historical terms our lives are fleeting we are born; live and die in the blink of an eye: for that reason this book is intended to make the writer immortal: not in the superhero style, but to the generations of family yet to be born. Written in diary style it tells of the reason, preparation and journey, over the legendary Hippy Trail from Europe to India in 1970; and how escaping the cold of an English winter became a journey of personal discovery and changed the future beyond anything imagined.
