A Spirited Indian Road-Trip Memoir of Highway Chai Tapris, Culture, and Motoring

Journalist and travel writer Rishad Saam Mehta chronicles his long-distance road trips across the Indian subcontinent, framing his travel stories around encounters at roadside tea stalls (chai tapris). Driving from the high mountain passes of Ladakh down to the southern coast, Mehta connects with drivers, tea vendors, and fellow travelers.

His narrative blends motoring anecdotes with local culture, capturing regional tea traditions from Kashmiri Kahwa to South Indian meter coffee and spiced Masala Chai along national highways.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Rishad Saam Mehta delivers an entertaining, warm account of Indian road travel centered on roadside tea culture. Ideal for readers of motoring travelogues, Indian culture, and food-centric travel memoirs.
