Does the Hippie Trail still exist?
Does the Hippie Trail still exist? The hippie trail largely ended in the late 1970s primarily due to both the Iranian Revolution resulting in an anti-Western government, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, closing the route to Western travelers.
Where did the hippie trail come from?
It was, at one point in time, a rite of passage: a journey that started in Western Europe and crossed through the Balkans, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
