Moraes was an Indian poet educated in London and Oxford. This is an account of his wanderings as a very young man through northern India, Nepal and Sikkim in 1959, when military tensions with China were at a high. He went on to have a distinguished career as a writer and journalist. (A couple of years later he married, albeit briefly, Henrietta Moraes.) First published in 1960.
