Picking up his 1913 Handbook on Indian, Foreign and Colonial Travel, Michael embarks on four spectacular railway journeys through India: from Amritsar to Shimla, Jodhpur to New Delhi, Lucknow to Kolkata and Mysuru to Chennai. Each travelogue explores a different region of the country, showcasing India's majestic mountains, scorching desert and plains watered by holy rivers. Michael meets maharajas, explores ornate palaces and golden temples, rides some of the world's most exhilarating trains and uncovers stories from India's past, 70 years after India became the great independent nation it is today. |
