High in the Annapurna, two trekkers enjoy a sexual encounter, but the concealment of feelings threatens the hope for something more lasting; a group of backpackers journey with some men whose worship of Kali appears as innocent as the Deccan plateau around them; a diplomat's daughter gives a lift to a drifter who leads her from Islamabad into a world of freedom and fear; when his bus to Benares leaves without him, a tourist finds the villagers all too eager to make him feel at home; and at a travellers' hang-out in the hills around Kathmandu, the couple who run it may not be nearly as cool as they seem.
Set in India, Nepal and Pakistan, these five stories explore the darkness that can lurk behind the romance of travel.
