'Travelogues' has become my recent favourite. I love them for its vividness and the feeling of true experience in the story. The details to everything authors see and write makes me feel it like I have felt everything by myself. In this book, Kavitha with her cousin made a trip to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar which felt less like a pilgrimage and more of a modern perspectives on things which are considered as religious traditions. I am sure this book will inspire anyone to visit there irrespective of their religion because the author has made it simple with spirituality and understanding of the tradition rather than going deep into it. It really inspired me.

I loved how Kavitha has made the story as real as much as possible by even showing her vulnerability during the journey and not hiding them with fake enthusiasm and positivity. Of course everyone will have their doubts and drawbacks during a journey like this and I am glad that she is honest about it to us. That gives me a perspective that not every journey will be easy, there will be ups and downs, highs and lows but what we see as achievement and what we learnt from it makes everything worthy in the end.

I really enjoyed reading this book with Kavitha's writing and her vivid description of things. And I would highly recommend it.
