This is the story of how our intrepid author explores Arunachal Pradesh – the most remote and unexplored corner of India – on a locally-purchased Honda. Written in the grand tradition of old-fashioned adventure stories, she ventures into the wilderness, tackling jungles and mountains, meeting shamans and witnessing animal sacrifices, proving that there are still wild and wonderful parts of the world to discover. And that a motorcycle is the finest vehicle for the job, of course. A thrilling mix of adventure, history and classic travel writing. More info: theitinerant.co.uk
