About this book:
India is no place for the faint-hearted cyclist. The streets are jammed with cars, buses, rickshaws, animals, fortune-tellers, barbers, beggars and people sleeping or cooking. In this hectic environment, Anne Mustoe found a pocket of calm – a man praying to Hanuman at a roadside shrine. Her curiosity about this magical Hindu monkey-god was to lead her through the entire Indian subcontinent and back three millennia – to the origins of the Sanskrit epc, the Ramayana.
Beginning in Kathmandu in Nepal, and ending in the tranquil hill town of Kandy in Sri Lanka, Anne Mustoe’s amazing journey by bicycle is told with keen observation and the relish of the open road. Following the paths of the Ramayana’s characters, Rama, Sita, and Hanuman, the intrepid Ms Mustoe’s rich experiences really bring the journey alive, and the Indian subcontinent is explored in all its cultural and spiritual diversity.
