India: colourful, chaotic, historical and multi-layered. With an acute eye, affection, humility and curiosity, Clare’s journey around India from Mysore in the south to Ladakh in the Himalayas is described in a way that interweaves the myths, values, beliefs and landscape of this extraordinary country. //
As a solo woman traveller, Clare’s adventures ranged from learning yoga in an organised shala to practising on her own in ancient temples; using local buses to negotiating with rickshaw drivers; exploring cities to the secret caves of Ellora and the temples of Hampi; and beach time in Goa to volunteering at the Students Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh. This engaging first book shows the reader many of the facets of India, and how a woman alone can experience the cultural, spiritual and everyday life of India today.
