Pretty good travel book about wandering camel tribes in India. Not quite as good as Tracks. She found India fascinating but very frustrating because of all the crowds and language barrier, etc.

Good first person account of Robyn Davidson's trek across Western Australia with camels. Also has good musings about courage, psychology, Aborigine rights, etc. I found and read this right after I saw the new movie about her (2013).
