Review of Inner Trek
Posted: 13 Aug 2022, 10:01
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Inner Trek" by Mohan Ranga Rao.]
For various reasons, pilgrimages to holy sites are made. It can result from religious intentions (the most popular explanation), a sense of accomplishment, or a pure quest for adventure. Inner Trek is a non-fiction work written by Mohan Ranga Rao, detailing his adventures and experiences on what could be known as a journey of a lifetime.
After Mohan successfully defends his land from Jalli Jagdish, a land mafia don, he remembers the vow he took in the presence of Lord Shiva and his wife, Mamatha. During that period, he vowed to dip in the waters of Manasa Sarovar and perform circumambulation around the holy Mount Kailash. However, he is reluctant to do this, but his wife persuades him to. Together, they make plans through a travel agency for Tibet and prepare for the 10-day trip. What lies in store for them on this challenging journey? At first, Mohan's intentions for the trip seem purely adventurous. Will this change? Read on to find out.
Inner Trek is a very intriguing book; I'm glad I picked it up. After reading this book, I can say that I know a lot about the pilgrimage of Kailash Manasa Sarovar, along with vivid descriptions of the landscape, the Himalayas, and a bit of Tibetan culture. This book reached and exceeded what I hoped it would be. The first-person narrative, which the author employed in narrating this story, was a good idea, as it could easily capture the reader's attention; I felt like I was a fellow pilgrim undergoing the trek alongside Mohan. The best part of this book was the pictures. I loved every one of them. My favorite shots were those of the North Face of Mount Kailash and the Rakshastal lake. The grammar use was quite friendly; the glossary at the end was also a thoughtful gesture.
My only dissatisfaction with this book was that it ended. The work perfectly blended religious piety, adventure, survival, and humor. The narrative ability of this author is commendable; he brings his descriptions to life. I believe anyone who reads this book will have no issues with its presentation and arrangement. It was a twenty-four-chapter masterpiece.
I look forward to reading more books by this author. I encountered some minor errors that didn't interfere with my reading experience. For its unique presentation and spectacular plot, Inner Trek by Mohan Ranga Rao receives a perfect rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I believe the book was professionally edited.
I recommend it to readers interested in adventure, survival, and pilgrim tales. Since it is a non-fiction tale, those interested in non-fiction can also pick it up. It also highlights a thing or two about the Tibetan culture; readers intrigued by learning about new cultures would find it interesting.
