Reviews
"[ On the Hippie Trail ] is an inspiring read, full of the joy of adventure and discovery."-- Lulu Garcia-Navarro , The New York Times, "Steves' journals have now been published in a gorgeous book, On the Hippie Trail: Istanbul to Kathmandu and the Making of a Travel Writer , featuring full-color photographs, a foldout map and reproductions of journal pages. The trip itself served as the origin story of the larger-than-life figure that Steves has become: A man who greets both the joys and frustrations of travel with enthusiasm, and who's not afraid to advocate for travel as a political act."-- Seattle Times, "The dreamy travel descriptions are fun, but what's loveliest in this book is to watch Steves slowly open his mind to a world that was bigger and more complicated than he ever expected."-- Vox

Synopsis
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Stow away with Rick Steves for a glimpse into the unforgettable moments, misadventures, and memories of his 1978 journey on the legendary Hippie Trail. In the 1970s, the ultimate trip for any backpacker was the storied "Hippie Trail" from Istanbul to Kathmandu. A 23-year-old Rick Steves made the trek, and like a travel writer in training, he documented everything along the way: jumping off a moving train, making friends in Tehran, getting lost in Lahore, getting high for the first time in Herat, battling leeches in Pokhara, and much more. The experience ignited his love of travel and forever broadened his perspective on the world. This book contains edited selections from Rick's journal and travel photos with a 45-years-later preface and postscript reflecting on how the journey through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Nepal changed his life. You know Rick Steves. Now discover the adventure of a lifetime that made him the travel writer he is today., It's July 14, 1978 and 23-year-old Rick Steves is ready for the adventure of a lifetime on the legendary Hippie Trail. He opens his empty notebook, pulls out a cheap Bic pen, and begins to write... I feel like I am doing something big. Having finally finished what seems like a lifetime of going to school, I'm so ready to move on. But I can't imagine what will follow. It just feels right to pause... and to take a trip-a long one.
