    It looks like the only thread on here explicitly about the Hippie Trail is about how it was about five years ago. I found this gem and thought at least a person or two on here might be into it: A Brief History of the Hippie Trail - London to Kathmandu - Updated 2021 (richardgregory.org.uk)

    Remembering old travel and travelers

    I have been reading the posts on here for a while. I’m way too old to hop trains , but StP reminds me of when I hitchhiked here in the US and all over Europe when I was a student in France.

Thus I began my week and a half trip with a grand in my pocket. No civilization works for free. People...

    I passed through a few years back just to spend one night, but it seemed like a really cool place to hang out for a summer. Does anyone have more info about the place?
