RAM RAM India

This is a great book. I read it before my first trip to India in 1991. Since it is written as an account of their trip from Kashmir to the Southern coast of India by bicycle, it is more enjoyable than reading an India guidebook, but gives you most of the information you need as a western traveler to India. Since they traveled by bicycle, they tell you a lot about the villages, countryside, and people of India, much more than a lot of books which focus on the cities. Truly enjoyable
