If you didn't already, you should check out The Way of the World by Nicolas Bouvier. Excelent book about a roadtrip from Geneva via Khyber pass to India in the 1950s.

Lastly, if interested in a good read on a similar subject checkout "L'Usage du monde" (The Way of the World" in English) by Nicolas Bouvier. He covers similar territory but expressing more of the delights of wanderlust (as well as the hardships).
on “The Life of a Backpacker in Asia in the 1970s (2018)” ↗Somewhat related: check out the book "The Way of the World" (L'Usage du monde, in the original French) [0] by Nicolas Bouvier about a pair of friends that travel by car from Switzerland to India in the 1960s. As others have mentioned, such a trip may be impossible…
