Monisha RajeshWINNER OF THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELLER AWARD FOR BEST TRAVEL BOOK
SHORTLISTED FOR THE STANFORD DOLMAN TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
'Monisha Rajesh has chosen one of the best ways of seeing the world. Never too fast, never too slow, her journey does what trains do best. Getting to the heart of things. Prepare for a very fine ride' — Michael Palin
From the cloud-skimming heights of Tibet's Qinghai railway to silk-sheeted splendour on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Around the World in 80 Trains is a celebration of the glory of train travel & a witty & irreverent look at the world.
Packing up her rucksack – & her fiancé, Jem – Monisha Rajesh embarks on an unforgettable adventure that takes her from London's St Pancras station to the vast expanses of Russia & Mongolia, North Korea, Canada, Kazakhstan, & beyond. The journey is one of constant movement & mayhem, as the pair strike up friendships & swap stories with the hilarious, irksome & ultimately endearing travellers they meet on board, all while taking in some of the earth's most breathtaking views.
