Indus Journey: A Personal View of Pakistan is a book by Imran Khan that was first published in 1990.
The book documents his travel along the Indus River.[1] The work presents Khan in the roles of a travel writer, tour guide, and amateur historian.[1] The book provides a comprehensive overview of the river's path from its delta on the Arabian Sea to its source in the Himalayas.[1] Accompanied by photographs by Mike Goldwater, the book explores geography, culture, and history.[1]
Khan's motivation for writing the book stemmed from feedback indicating a lack of accessible literature on Pakistan for international audiences.[1] He addresses topics such as conservation, ecological challenges, and socio-economic issues within the country.[1] However, some reviewers have noted that the book predominantly focuses on historical aspects, with limited coverage of contemporary Pakistan's diversity and dynamics.[1]
