Book excerpt: Millions of young people in the 70's poured from their homelands to remote regions of the world, filled with a pressing need to explore cultures where ages-old spiritual traditions were still intact. Places of particular interest or beauty had been discovered by early waves of explorers- word spread and a chain of destinations gradually formed which spanned the globe - the "Hippie Trail." Accompany our wayfarer and travel with him at his snail's pace as he moves overland - from Latin America to Morocco, Greece through Turkey, Persia and Afghanistan to India - often with only small bits of change in his pockets. Experience his shaky beginnings as an insecure and lonely neophyte, and grow with him as he evolves into a toughened and savvy navigator of far-away lands. Carried by his wits and many mystifying interventions of destiny, he encountered and lived through a continuing succession of often profound life experiences. This book reads nearer to a novel than travel-log, his relationships with the cast of real characters weave and tumble; their stories are told along with his own. Adventurous and introspective reading for the armchair voyager of all ages, and background for the young foot-soldiers out there on those same roads today.

Download or read book The hippie trail written by Sharif Gemie and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first history of the Hippie Trail. It records the joys and pains of budget travel to Kathmandu, India, Afghanistan and other ‘points east’ in the 1960s and 1970s. Written in a clear, simple style, it provides detailed analysis of the motivations and the experiences of hundreds of thousands of hippies who travelled eastwards. The book is structured around four key debates: were the travellers simply motivated by a search for drugs? Did they encounter love or sexual freedom on the road? Were they basically just tourists? Did they resemble pilgrims? It also considers how the travellers have been represented in films, novels and autobiographical accounts, and will appeal to those interested in the Trail or the 1960s counterculture, as well as students taking courses relating to the 1960s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a new age, one called the Age of Aquarius, with a restless, ideological generation full of a reverence for new worlds opening up to new ideas. When the Beatles introduced the mystique of India to pop culture, the Hippie Trail was established as hip adventurers traveled overland from Europe to Kathmandu and India. Hunter was not among these hipsters. Still bitter over the way he was treated as a Marine combat veteran home from the Vietnam War, he felt the allure of the open road in America and in Europe. While getting visas in Vienna, he came across a Polish girl, Ewa, whose Politburo father got her unequal privileges she gladly abused to join Hunter on the trek to India to check out the new-age ashrams. Shared experiences and hardships bonded them, but Cold War politics made falling in love the worst hardship of all.

Book excerpt: From Kansas to Kathmandu, from mountain to beach, jungle to city-street, jail to monastery, palatial estate to park-bench, psychopaths to gurus, from heart-break and back to love again, our journeyer met with all these and much more in this engrossing tale of not just travel but of a life consciously unfolding. Casting his fate to the wind he set out, with little money but a shaky confidence that he'd find ways and means of survival when his bankroll hit bottom – which didn't take long. Being carried by a strong desire and determination to see the world he persevered, melting obstacles with an ability to spot an opportunity or to to sink into, or to wait out, a situation. Choosing to shun scamming, smuggling or fruit-picking in favor of creative and artistic means to earn his living he kept some cash in his pocket – most of the time. And by endeavoring to do only what he enjoyed doing, and to keep company only with those of whom he had a high regard, he found in this an all-round viable formula that proved to work well for most everything in general.During lengthy stretches in villages, jungles and beaches of Central America, and with nomads of the Moroccan Sahara sand dunes, a family of wandering spiritual 'sadhus' on the banks of the Ganges in India, holding a position as cook and general manager in a charming backpacker hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan - after crossing that country by horseback. Thus, more than mere survival he thrived, refusing to regard his own lack of funds as 'poverty.'Throughout the journey his path would cross and intertwine with the people of his own leaning, the 'hippies' on the trail, which during this era were legion.Many mysterious interventions of destiny would arise, presenting ranges of circumstance from idyllic to agonizingly stressful, but all would impart valuable life-lessons and rich experience to this seeker of anything and everything that would add to his accumulation of knowledge – knowledge of being human, of being alive. He would add to his own involvements insightful observations of others whose existence differed greatly from his own, and would treasure absolutely all of it as spiritual experience.

Book excerpt: From Kansas to Kathmandu, from mountain to beach, jungle to city-street, jail to monastery, palatial estate to park-bench, from heart-break and back to love again, our journeyer met with all these and much more in this engrossing tale of not just travel but of a life consciously navigated. At the outset however, he'd cast his fate to the wind, with little money but a shaky confidence that he'd find ways and means of survival when his bankroll hit bottom - which didn't take long. Being carried by a strong desire and determination to see the world he persevered, opening doors with an ability to spot and sink into an opportunity, or to melt an obstacle or disagreeable situation by some stroke of cleverness or by waiting it out. Choosing to shun scamming, smuggling or fruit-picking in favor of creative and artistic means to earn his living, he kept some cash in his pocket - most of the time. His experiences ranged from lengthy stays in villages, tropical jungles and beaches, with nomads of the Sahara and wandering spiritual 'sadhus' in India, to crossing Afghanistan by horseback. Arriving in Kabul nearly broke he landed a position in a hotel as its cook and general manager. All the while he thrilled in the high adventure of it all, even while enduring several months in an Indian jail - thus transcending mere survival by steadfastly refusing to regard his own lack of funds as 'poverty.' Throughout the journey his path would cross and intertwine with the people of his own leaning, the 'hippies' on the trail, which during this era were legion. Many mysterious interventions of destiny would arise, presenting ranges of circumstance from idyllic to agonizingly stressful, but all would impart valuable life-lessons and rich insight to this seeker of anything and everything that would contribute to his accumulation of knowledge - knowledge of being human, of being alive. He would add to his own involvements intuitive observations of others whose existence differed greatly from his own, and would treasure absolutely all of it as spiritual attainment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of my Overland trips from London to Kathmandu in the early seventies. This was an interesting time with many changes going on, many of the travelers being born at the end of the Second World War and others post war baby boomers. We had moved through rock and roll, Dylan, Beatles, Hippies, the racial changes in the US, cold war, and still had the war in Vietnam, which most of us were against. What made us take an overland journey from Europe to Kathmandu? For many of us it was travel to the unknown, an adventure, plus an escape from conformity. It could be said it was the fore runner of the backpacker travel movement now a rite of passage for young people today. We in fact were following Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Monguls and Mughal invaders, Muslim Arab armies, as well as trading caravans which gave some of our route the romantic name of the Silk Road.

Book excerpt: In 1967 Asta lives in Sydney's Kings Cross, famous for strip clubs, gambling dens, artists and beatniks. After a failed relationship she drops out of her office job, joins a band led by an Aborigine blues singer and is introduced to LSD by a mysterious older man at a teenage party. When she meets her new partner they decide to seek 'spiritual enlightenment' in India. They hitchhike to Darwin via the crocodile-infested Kimberley in Western Australia. Working various jobs along the way, they save enough money for their trip and head to India on the cheap. What begins as a hilarious adventure soon reveals the First Noble Truth of the Buddha - 'existence is suffering'. As they trek through Southeast Asia, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey and Europe to the UK, Asta's inner journey of discovery and healing forms an essential counterpoint to the physical challenge of travelling rough on the Hippie Trail.

And Me Now is an extraordinary travel memoir about the early 1970s' "hippie trail" across Asia - a story not just of exotic places but an emerging era for the world's youth marked by unprecedented freedoms, escapism and experimentation. Author Alan Samson, a retired journalist and journalism lecturer from New Zealand, was in his early 20s when he began a two-year adventure along the trail, from Singapore to the jungles of Borneo, Bali to Burma, war-torn Cambodia to the majestic Himalayas, spiritual India to hippie-haven Afghanistan. His story captures the essence of the times, the places and the politics, as well as epitomising the "big adventure" for a young foreigner seeking to learn more about the world and, through that, himself. As Vietnam and other regional conflicts escalated into the 1970s, the whole region was on a knife's edge. And with fledgling television exponentially increasing its reach around the world, many of the conflicts began to be noticed in living rooms to an extent that could barely have been imagined even a few years earlier. Unsurprisingly, these years also saw a burgeoning of idealism among the world's youth, they too becoming the news as the cameras focused on enthusiastic anti-war demonstrations as far afield as America, Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Whether Americans dodging compulsory draft call-ups, or numerous others from all over the so-called West taking advantage of personal freedoms emerged out of the "swinging sixties", the result was a mass migration of young travellers. Wandering what became known as the "hippie trail", beginning from the southern hemisphere or the northern, but invariably landing in South and Southeast Asia, many styled themselves as "hippies" or "freaks". Even if they did not label themselves in that manner, their apparent loose lifestyles cemented the perception within astounded local populations. Caught up in the maelstrom, the author pursued the path of the many, tramping war zones, immersing himself in the region's religions, at the same time eating and smoking his way along the trail as far as Afghanistan before sickness had him abruptly homeward bound. For anyone wanting to understand the times and the context of a turbulent but exhilarating era, this articulate, one-man account of search and discovery, is a must read.
