Friday 3 February

Theatre 1
Time: 2.00pm
Title: Eastern Turkey & North East India
Speakers: Diana Darke (Bradt Guide author to Eastern Turkey) 
and Shafik Meghji (Rough Guide India author)
Company: Travel the Unknown


Bradt Guide to Eastern Turkey author, Diana Darke, will talk about the unexplored Kurdish region of Eastern Turkey. With its dramatic landscapes, Armenian influences, snow-capped mountains, and home to the world’s first temple, Göbekli Tepe, this part of Turkey sees very few visitors and is ripe for discovery.

Rough Guide India author, Shafik Meghji, will speak about the remote region of North East India. Packed with diversity, from the living bridges of Cherrapunjee and safari parks of Assam to the Himalayan Buddhist kingdom of Tawang and the tribal Hornbill Festival in Nagaland, this part of India is truly off-the-beaten-track.
