I invite you to join me on an unforgettable journey of discovery through a country like no other. Where Camels Dance and Cows Wander: An Indian Odyssey will transport you to a land where ancient civilization and staggering modernization coexist side by side. You'll see the astonishing things that I see, meet the remarkable people that I meet, and receive an honest account of what it's really like to travel through India.
"'Where Camels Dance and Cows Wander' is the wanderlust inducing story of Adam Taylor Smith's four month journey across India. Through wonderful photos and extraordinary tales of awe-inspiring temples, dancing camels, serene spiritual practices, and holy elephants, the author perfectly captures both the excitement and the frustrations that accompany a trip to this very special country. It's a beautifully produced book and it stirred up feelings of nostalgia for the places I had been as well as a longing to see the places I hadn't. Stunning work."
-Simon Fairbairn, NeverEndingVoyage.com
A trip through India is an eye-opening cultural experience, a moving encounter with human spirituality, and above all, a striking visual journey. We've all seen pictures of the Taj Mahal, but fewer have glimpsed such equally astonishing sights as the Jain temple of Ranakpur, the surreal landscape of Hampi, or the magnificent golden-headress adorned elephants of a Keralan temple festival. Where Camels Dance and Cows Wander uncovers these wonders by way of the same vivid photography and insightful narration that readers of this site have come to expect.

"If you’re like me and you’re intrigued but apprehensive about visiting India, this book will offer an incredible peek into the richness and vitality of Indian culture. Numerous breathtaking photos illustrate a travelogue that transports you from some of the world's most evocative landscapes to the glamour of Bollywood; from the extravagant folklore of local festivals to the search for one's true essence through rigorous spiritual practice. If India is a secret for you, this book will reveal it."
