"Written at the time of her travels to India alone in 1976, aged just 22, Devika's diary she records her adventures and reflects on her personal experiences, emotions and the relationships she formed with fellow travellers and indigenous people. Devika's journey begins in Amsterdam where she saves money for her exciting trip. She travels by bus as far as Iran, and then continues by local transport through Afghanistan and Pakistan to India, braving many dangers on the way. The journey to India takes six weeks. Once there she goes on to travel around the country, visiting many famous places she has only ever dreamt about before, including the Himalayas and Sri Lanka. Devika takes many risks and experiences some frightening situations on her journey. Finally, after travelling up the west coast of India, Devika discovers an ashram and finds herself at the feet of a spiritual master, where she learns about meditation. The Road East To India will appeal to those who enjoy travel memoirs and are interested in what it was like for a young woman to travel alone overland to India." -- Provided by publisher
