This is from the Pentax photographers discussion list I joined earlier this year. The album of this guy's trip is stunning. Note how light he travelled. The shots of the bike show two small saddlebags. That was all had for a two week trip. He stayed in villages along the way. Did not have his stops planned ahead. Of course, he was at an advantage in this part of the world in being a Hindi speaker. All the photos were taken with a simple point and shoot.
