Robert A. Kaisety '68 and five M.I.T. students are planning to drive about 15,000 miles in a Land-Rover from London to India and back.
The trip, which grew out of an invitation from an Iranian "to come to Teheran and visit my home," is expected to last three months. The tentative route will include Paris, Rome, Istanbul, Teheran, Lahore, New Delhi, the palace of the Mir of Gilgit and Amritsan Threturn route will possibly include Afghanistan and the Soviet Union.
"We plan to document the route carefully, providing up-to-date information on reads, rivers, and villages, and the avail-ability of fuel and water," said Warren M. Zapol, leader of the group, a senior in Life Sciences at M.I.T. "Extreme conditions vary from the Dasht-i-Lut desert in eastern Iran at 120 degrees F to cold nights in the Himalayas of northern India. The basic purpose of our trip is to make better known a little know portion of the world."
