Road to Kathmandu is the part-factual, part-fictional account of Patrick Marnham's own pilgrimage from Turkey to Nepal in 1968. He travelled over three thousand miles, passing through Ankara to Ararat, Tehran and Mashad, Herat, Kandahar and Kabul, Peshawar, Lahore and Varanasi ... before finally reaching Kathmandu. His journey is a kaleidoscopic blend of tortuous train journeys and lethal truck drives; wild deserts, mountains and isolated villages. His nights were often spent sleeping by the roadside and his days searching for the next ride. Along the way, he met a colourful and eclectic cast of characters.
