The Amazing Story of the Man Who Cycled from India to Europe for Love

It begins with a prophecy, scratched onto a palm leaf by the village astrologer: “He will marry a girl from far, far away…” Born in a hut on the edge of the Indian jungle, PK rises from humble beginnings to become an artist in New Delhi, where he falls in love with a traveling Swedish woman. Lotta matches the prophecy, but when she has to head back home the stars appear stuck just short of alignment. It’s 1976, and plane tickets to Sweden aren’t cheap, so PK sets off on a secondhand Raleigh with no map and little more than a sleeping bag and $80. His journey takes him 7,000 miles over the roads of Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, and Europe. Cosmic and totally groovy, it’s a profound true story of one man’s passage from wild, rural India to the modern Western world, and how an adventurous mindset knows no boundaries.
