Follow in the footsteps of Virginia Woolf through the gardens of Sussex and Kent, visit King Arthur in Tintagel, hike through the hills and tea plantations of Sri Lanka, travel on dusty tracks through the Hindu Kush and the Pamir Mountains, or go on an ornithological expedition through the Indian subcontinent with a bird lover. Perhaps you'll be tempted by a rafting tour on the Nile or a ride through the wintry Grand Canyon. In this volume of our Explorer series with travel reports from the New York Times, there are many spectacular landscapes to discover: the vastness of Siberia, for example, experienced on a branch line of the Trans-Siberian Railway, Lapland under the Northern Lights by dog sled, fairytale-like, snow-covered Bohemian forests on cross-country skis, the jungle on the Amazon and much more!
The Explorer series cultivates the traditional, relaxed way of traveling that takes its time and shows appreciation and interest in the countries, people and cultures visited. It takes you to exotic, rarely traveled places, but also discovers new sides to seemingly well-known destinations. In addition to excellent and wonderfully illustrated travel reports, each volume contains a wealth of practical tips and information on each destination. The series - edited by Barbara Ireland, whose travel series 36 Hours is a TASCHEN bestseller - comprises four volumes so far: Beaches, Islands & Coasts, Mountains, Deserts & Prairies, Cities & Metropolises and Roads, Railways & Waterways.
