About this book
Eric Newby recounts a journey of around 1,200 miles down the Ganges with his wife Wanda, from Hardwar towards the Bay of Bengal. River travel, changing crews and improvised transport bring the couple into contact with villages, towns and a succession of memorable people. Combining observation, humour and historical detail, this travel narrative follows the practical difficulties and discoveries of exploring India's great river.
