Imagine yourself at dawn, catching your first glimpse of the mighty mountain, Kanchenjunga.  Its summit pierces the clouds, and several attendant peaks jag from its flanks. The sun begins to rise, setting the massive mountain on fire, and there before you, in all its majesty, is the world’s third highest peak. Prayer flags flutter, and the chanting of distant monks rides on the cold wind. You think: this is what it means to be alive!

Imagine yourself hunkered around a fire in the Thar Desert, the heavens above ablaze with shooting stars. Your Rajasthani guide has tethered the camels and now flips chapati on the glowing coals.  Firelight reflects on his gold earrings and waxed moustache.  He starts to sing softly, a haunting tune that has floated over these sands since the beginning of time. You tuck yourself into your sleeping bag, exhausted and immensely happy.

Imagine yourself meandering along the backwaters of the coast of Kerala. From the deck of your houseboat, you watch the world go by.  Fishermen sorting their catch, school children in crisp uniforms piling into rickshaws, women arranging their wares in markets brimming with fruit and flowers, mosques and temples calling the faithful to prayer. You dip your fingers into the blue-green waters and splash yourself, asking, am I awake or is this just a dream?

For  in their hearts doth Nature stir them so,
Then people long on pilgrimage to go,
And palmers to be seeking foreign strands,
To distant shrines renowned in sundry lands.

“The driver was excellent.  He was not only safe, courteous but exceptionally kind and very protective of us as two females traveling alone.  He really enhanced our trip.”
