Ep 4: The City and the Mountains

There are all kinds of travel. There’s discovering a familiar city through new eyes, and there’s going to a place that’s remote in place and time. In this episode, Meera Iyer shows us her city, Bengaluru, as a place full of surprises, heritage, and trivia. Then, Dervla Murphy, tells us of a visit to Gilgit and Baltistan - in the dead of winter - and with her 6-year-old daughter along with her.  This is episode #4 of Bookasur, connecting two books from very different times and authors, but with similarly appealing spirits of adventure. Books featured: Discovering Bengaluru, by Meera Iyer, published by Intach (Do one of their walks if they're in your town!) Where the Indus is Young, by Dervla Murphy, published by Speaking Tiger in India. -------- Published 26th Feb 2020. Find out more about Bookasur here: https://www.psnissim.com/p/bookasur.html P.S.
