A very impressive video both informative and sensitive with an excellent narration. I went the solo hitching route 10 years before this and tended to discount the later ‘tour trips’ but there are obvious advantages in travelling this way too. What is upsetting is to see how different it is today. The mountains of Afghanistan never leave you….

Better than awesome

Come to India if you want to see a live fashion show with men women and kids

This makes me think of Midnight Express

Great to get a reminder of my solo overland trip to the Himalayas and India in 1975. Don't want to nit-pick but I can't imagine doing the trip any way other than how i did it which was very arduous but character-building. Most did it this way, by hitching half the way and then catching local buses. You were free to stop off and spend time, or go wherever you wanted to. I can't imagine paying the money to this as a group, and with no freedom. ("Cooking duties", "shopping duties", and putting out and packing tents again?) Of course, it wasn't reasonably possible to make a documentary about what most people did, which was to do the trip solo! A lot of this "tour" seems to cover many things I never saw and seem vaguely interesting - but frankly after 15 minutes of any kind of "guided tour" I get very bored and need to go off alone again. In short, this is definitely not how most people did the overland route to India.

Amazing...so captivating, fascinating and mesmerizing documentary. Everything is so perfect, if only the print would hv been better, but I understand,it's from long back in the time. You took us through the time around half of the world. I could recognise places in Turkey and India. Kashmir has a long history of hospitality and tourism, I find the same even now. I'm proud that only Asia has such wide array of geographical, colorful, cultural, religious and demographic diversity to offer to the world. Thanks for uploading. If someone has more such treasure please upload or give link

Amazing brought back happy memories travelling to Afghanistan and back

thanks for showing the time when hippie travelled. i felt like i was there :D

Fascinating. Thank you for sharing !

and btw, anyone has a link to the music at 12:41? absolutely slaps...

man, makes me dream. when self-growth and discovery clearly fucking meant something. full on immersion in nature and culture so foreign that every day can change you, every new place and people leave a vivid impression and the potential to alter how you look at the world, must have been so inspiring. now we're just told to read sodding Twelve rules for life and suck it up. to hustle soullessly and endlessly in the face of capitalist excess, environmental disaster and social and economic decline. must have been glorious to feel so free from it all for a few months, thanks for this awesome documentary x

Or maybe im being biased as i am a Muslim with family from Pakistan but I was born in England.

"and every school boy knows a camel carries water in its humps" ..indeed! what a journey, I wouldn't have believed people would chooose to spend 3 months on a truck ...wow

The corporate military industrial complex will destroy the whole planet like they have done to the east. You just can't see it

This white occidental generation of boomer have destroy the futur of humanity. These lefty colonialist are awfull with no dignity. These dirty hippy deserve the worst insult from the actual generation for having destroy, polluate, imigration and sold our World. Pig boomer lefty hippy, you are bad parents and stupid humans

Who is the narrator?

I went to india in 78 in a wvbus i did not se so much hippies

I love that guy with the glasses he seems to get everywhere

I will stick to my yearly 2 weeks in benidorm thank you

Bedford MK , what a classic . If the cab tipped like the Ford D series it would be perfect. Ive bounced around in the back of one them so massive respect to all those youngsters . Never fancied it myself but I was in the hospital for tropical diseases in st pancras after a tough time in india and almost every other bed was taken up by a similar expedition crossing Africa whod left behind all their soap and disinfectant one night and were all horribly ill.

He rhymes off all their jobs descriptions, being a cockney was a job" two cockney lads "

Only 1977 and already a distant past - heck, most of these guys could still be around!

Remember: Despite the Cold War this was a very peaceful era when these countries could be travelled with comparably few manmade hazards

This whole video is racist garbage 🗑️

уебище а не перевод

This was the easy way…a group, a guide…a filmmaker. Thousands of young people had gone before, single, couples, friends for a decade. Those were the true adventures. But it’s very nice to see some film that suggests that time. In the 80’s during several trips I reached 44 countries. Afghanistan was closed, but China and Tibet were open. I was never robbed, and never heard a complaint about violence from other travelers. It was bad publicity to attack western kids in all the police states, I guess. The Dollar was crazy high. Now I’m old and must pee far too often 😢

We’re you on this trip?

Old is gold❤

did anyone take the "Magic Bus" from London to Kathmandu in the 1970s, I'm sure it was £25 for an open return ticket, I used to see the advert in NME for it and always wanted to take that trip, a few people who I knew who went there never recovered, or should I say readjusted to UK life, became full-on hippies or vanished, times were far simpler back then, buy an old bus, fix it up, advertise in the NME, when it was sold out set off, no special insurance, no nothing, just go and do it. . .what a great attitude these travellers had back then, little or no organisation and only a few reference books to read prior to going,

Great doco. It would have been an amazing time to pass through all of those countries conflict-free and untouched by tourism.

I wish more than anything I could’ve been 18-21 in 1979 😭😭😭

fucking hippies

Algorithm has blessed me

What an amazing snapshot in time. Before the Ayatollah took over in Iran and before the Russians invaded Afghanistan. Would love to do such a trip.

they were so lucky that no bandits came over. Especially the young women are brave and lucky not raped in such unsave countries. But it seemed nowadays much more dangerous in such countries. This english speaking artist is amazing and the kids waving the complicated carpet.

I completely understand the driver when he says "one rainy moring he couldn't face the underground" and he left that life. I did that 6 years ago. I left the sheer insanity that is the US and have never returned. The weight that has been lifted is indescribable. (written from a port on the Med Sea where I live now 🙂)

Everyone’s so skinny! Before the days of fast food and over eating 😞

Maintenant on ne peut même plus camper tranquillement à Liverpool ! AH AH trop de drogués de retour de là bas !

30:33 What's the crop of the afghan farmer now? Opium poppies.

The preparations for this trip and the skills needed, imagine... The trip is an education surpassing what you are taught in schools. Amazing. Things were less complicated and more complicated in those days.

Yeah the Middle East wasn’t a Western target back then but as soon as the Wall fell, we needed countries to arm against to keep supplying the military industrial complex.

Dumb hippies

This is a beautiful, very informative and detailed documentary made with advanced camera and sound in late late 70s

Babys boomers...........
