The Old Elephant Route is an adventure into some of the world's most vast, unexplored wilderness, and follows Prajna Chowta, a young Indian ethnologist trained in the West, and her two companions, as they travel by elephant and on foot over 340 kilometres, from Assam (India) to Northern Burma (now Myanmar) to find out whether migration and essential interbreeding of isolated elephant herds still exists. It is a story full of hope as one determined young woman demonstrates the courage, compassion and commitment necessary to refuse to sit back and watch a magnificent species die out in her life me. Prajna returns triumphant, having found what she went in search of Hope. Yet knowing that her journey to save the Asian elephant has only just begun.
