The hippie trail : a history

Gemie, Sharif & Co-author

The hippie trail : a history Sharif Gemie & Brian Ireland - First edition - New Delhi Aleph 2018 - 246 pages ; 20 cm

Includes bibliographies and index

This is the first detailed history of the Hippie Trail in the 1960s and 1970s. Going beyond the dozens of personal memoirs and travellers’ accounts that have been written about the legendary overland route between the West and South Asia, the book records the joys and pains experienced by the huge numbers of (mostly) young hippies on their travels to India and other ‘points east’ such as Nepal and Afghanistan. Written in a clear, simple style, it goes deep into the motivations and the experiences of hundreds of thousands of hippies who made the journey.
