A Legendary 1987 Solo Cycling Memoir of a 1963 Expedition from Ireland to India

In 1963, 31-year-old Irish travel writer Dervla Murphy set off on an extraordinary solo bicycle journey from Dunkirk, France, to Delhi, India. Accompanied by her single-speed bicycle, "Roz," Murphy pedaled across Europe, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan over the high Himalayan passes.

Braving freezing blizzards, desert heat waves, and dangerous mountain roads, her classic diary records encounters with local villagers, tribal leaders, and mountain hospitality during an unrepeatable era of global overland travel.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Dervla Murphy's debut travel book remains a landmark of solo female adventure literature and overland cycling history. Essential reading for lovers of classic travel writing, cycling memoirs, and Asian journeys.
