Brisk and colourful, peppered with personal anecdotes of bandhs, reflections on politics and social values, drawn upon wandering on the highlands and low plains of the states of the North East, Abhijeet and Navita Deshpande pack a lot literally into their rucksacks for this backpacker's manual which should be a useful guide on not just where to go and what to do, what not do and where not to venture but also what to keep your eyes and ears open for, in these lands of many stories, ethnic groups and magical experiences, the warmth of ordinary people and the challenges of daily life.
