One Man Rides to the Edge of India: A Motorcycle Journey to Arunachal Pradesh, India’s Eastern Frontier (One Man on a Motorcycle Book 4) Kindle Edition

One Man. One Bike. And a plan that’s literally on fire.Think A Walk in the Woods... but with a vibrating Royal Enfield, a guest appearance from an "Amigo," and saddlebags that have spontaneously decided to combust.When Bill Bryson reaches the end of the road, he usually finds a quaint pub. When Ketan Joshi reaches the "Edge of India" in Arunachal Pradesh, he finds a place where the sun clocks in before the rest of the world and the roads have homicidal tendencies.Trading his solo solitude for the company of one returning Amigo, Ketan set out for the eastern frontier—a land so remote the British simply gave up and called it "the hills." What follows is a "man-machine-nature saga" through a wild mosaic of a hundred tribes, ancient kingdoms, and high-altitude battlefields where the air is thin and the ghost peppers are legal weapons.Inside this singed "un-guide" to the frontier:The Spontaneous Combustion: Discover what happens when your gear gets so excited about the trip that your saddlebags actually catch fire on the road.The 1962 Shadow: Riding through the silent, fog-shrouded valleys where Indian and Chinese soldiers still glare at each other across the peaks.Homicidal Mountains: Navigating mud-slicked paths and river crossings so wide they look like inland seas, all while dodging wildlife with "romantic agendas".The Amigo Reunion: Realising that having a companion means you finally have someone to blame for the flat tyres and the burning luggage.Described as "the P.G. Wodehouse of India," Ketan Joshi delivers a "witty and entertaining" finale to his solo series that is as educative as it is absurd. Read more
