Travelogues


One of the best ways to discover more about a country is read about other people's travels and adventures. These books provide stories ranging from historical expeditions to current day adventures the likes of which most of us will never see.

Dervla Murphy: This Irish lady goes trekking and riding through the most facinating and dangerous areas, all the time providing an incite into the people and the landscape. She has recently visited Laos (One Foot in Laos ) and has also visited southern India (On A Shoestring To Coorg ).

Among Insurgents: Walking Through Burma by Shelby Tucker is the story of his amazing adventure walking through the northern jungles of Burma. Described as "A hugely informative book of near-lunatic courage... astonishing".
