CAN YOU TRAVEL NURISTAN JUNE?

When Eric Newby, improbably earning his living in the London haute couture trade, sent his fateful cable it was the first step in a classic journey, from Mayfair to the wild mountains of the Hindu Kush, north-east of Kabul. As a more recent generation of travellers has discovered, Afghanistan can be an inhospitable place; as this truly diverting and wonderfully evocative book shows, it is also one of the most spectacularly beautiful wildernesses on earth.

"Eric Newby's description of their travels and travails is a total success"
