Shedding his corporate life, Sameer Gaikwad pursues his dream of completing the Narmada Parikrama as an ascetic, travelling alone for a month.
Get immersed in his narration of his adventure on a bicycle, living minimally, depending on the help and support along the way.
In the process, he discovers the many facets of the lives along the entire length of the river. He also finds answers to questions such as:
  • What is the Narmada Parikrama in India?
  • Why is the Narmada River revered so much that make people walk or travel as pilgrim all around its entire 1300 km length covering both its banks?
  • What is it to experience slow travel to the 'Heart of India' and interact with its people while enjoying the hills, valleys, rivers and forests?
  • What is the history, geography and social lives of the region along the river? Was it the cradle of human habitat in the Indian subcontinent?
  • What does it take to plan and complete such a task, alone or as a tour?
The travelogue and guide is set in March-April 2023 with focus on minimalism living and making a purposeful journey. It covers experiences on spirituality, peppered with interaction with people of different faiths and managing relationships.
It has tips on keeping a healthy and happy mindset, to have a purposeful vision while overcoming daily challenges. It also gives some leads to the origins of our belief systems including tribal, aboriginal, modern and the saintly.
If you seek notes, links, routes and maps to plan your own Parikrama trip - either alone or in a group, then this is the book for you.
A long solo journey being an analogy to life, Sameer has summarized his daily experiences that also serves as motivation and inspiration towards planning for success and peace.
To put it straightforward, it is a simple travel story with life parables.
