Journey to the East

Sixty-seven days. A handcart. A camera. And an endless road stretching across the true heart of India.

What makes someone step off the endless treadmill of a comfortable life in England, pack a single change of clothes, and decide to walk across the entire width of the Indian subcontinent?

Journey to the East is an honest, deeply reflective account of Ashutosh Joshi’s foot expedition from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal. This book isn't a dry travel log about distances and maps. Instead, it invites you into ten to fifteen life-altering moments along the road.

As you turn the pages, you’ll walk right alongside him—sleeping on the floor of ancient village temples, navigating the quiet paths of remote tribal forests, and sharing simple meals in the homes of absolute strangers who opened their doors with nothing but pure warmth.

This story is an exploration of slow living. It gently contrasts the modern, anxious rush of city life with the resilient, grounded, and deeply generous spirit of rural communities. It is a reminder that when you strip away the noise of the modern world, what remains is an invisible, beautiful thread of human kindness.
