Inner Trek by Mohan Rao: Book Review

It started nonchalantly and ended up with a consciousness that is impeccably soothing to the heart. I always thought that traveling in nature, being amused by amazing natural beauty, are such feelings that we never achieved in the material world, that feeling is priceless. Standing in front of a huge peak of a mountain or abiding at the foot of a tall large tree, gives us goosebumps, such vibes that remind us how small we are and also how lucky we are that we are viewing nature’s Lager than life creativity. We are lucky to experience something so astonishing, this experience is priceless. That existence is invaluable.

I came across a beautiful book that is compelling and rising inside as the book goes. I want to share my thoughts.

Mohan Ranga Rao sheds his journey in this book. He engraved here his journey to Kailash which is situated in Tibet. Very interestingly he wrote about everything that happened on the way. Therefore lots of things happened during the journey which makes every journey, not just travel but an experience for a lifetime.

It took me no time to hook up with this book because of the obvious attraction of traveling through pages. He described the struggle, he described the roughness of the paths, he encrypted the warmth of fellow travelers. Those little stories are like jeweled in this book. Not only it was greatly narrated the details of traveling but the author did research work for every temple and shrines that came in this way. This book explores all the hardships that a traveler needs to face in this way and makes you prepared for the journey. He also added such beautiful photos that made this book so much enthralling to me.

I enjoyed this book and the journey of the author because of his crispy writing style. Author started this book with his own life-threatening experience and how it moved him to this journey. Author Mohan conveyed his experience and feeling very expertly, it never felt dull because of his lucid and quirky writing style and sharp edge editing. Kudos to the editor.

From the beginning to the end, every detail is very helpful if you’re planning to go to Kailash. Very well-documented journey. This journey never started as a pilgrim but it became an exploration of consciousness, not in a spiritual but philosophical way. Such a journey can teach us a lot of things about ourselves and about life. I will recommend it to everyone, do give it a try.
