"A Ride to India across Persia and Baluchistán" by Harry De Windt is an adventurous travel story from the 1800s, detailing the author's trip from the Caucasus to India through Persia and Baluchistán. Blocked from his original route by Russian authorities after a frustrating meeting in Tiflis, De Windt alters his plans and begins his journey through Persia alongside his new companion, a Russian interpreter. De Windt uses keen observations to paint a picture of different cultures and people he meets, all set against the backdrop of challenging terrains, unforgiving weather, and a region brimming with historical depth as he begins his quest.
