About this listen

Alastair Humphreys walked across India, from the Coromandel Coast to the Malabar Coast, following the course of a holy river. Walking alone and spending the nights sleeping under the stars, in the homes of welcoming strangers, or in small towns and villages, he experienced the dusty enchantment of ordinary, real India on the smallest of budgets.

There Are Other Rivers tells the story of the walk through an account of a single day as well as reflecting on the allure of difficult journeys and the eternal appeal of the open road.

This book is very highly rated on Amazon.com for good reason.

If you’re tempted to buy to audible version I’d recommend looking at the reviews on Amazon.com to convince you to purchase the book in either written or audio format.

The audio version especially appealed to me because it was narrated by Al himself, after being moved by his narration of ‘Around the World by Bike’. I was not disappointed, his narration makes the anecdotes so much happier, sadder, funnier and more impactful than if it was read by anyone else.

The audible version of the book is truly a joy to listen to, and, because it is relatively short, I can’t wait to listen to it again and again. Each time I do I’m sure that different ideas will resonate with me.

Thank you Al!

A beautiful delve into the mindset of adventure

I loved this, it’s reassuring to hear someone else voice the thoughts I have that are so unpopular/ discouraged / judged. I could have listened to more - once I stopped wondering about what’s NOT clear in the text...and remembered that’s exactly the point!

Kindred sanity!

A wonderful listen, well done author on believing in the idea. All adventure books often become quite samey, this challenges that notion and the listen is better for it.

different but excellent
