Mohan Ranga Rao's book Inner Trek chronicles an Indian businessman's quest for self-awareness while traveling to Kailash Manasarovar. The author's nonfiction piece describes his pilgrimage to Kailash Manasa Sarova and the events that led up to it. The story at hand seems to be both a spiritual search and a physical journey. The review is written well.Congratulation on your BOTD!

I've never climb any mountains before but I can viscerally experience the mount climbing by reading this book. Furthermore, I always curious about what it takes to do pilgrimage. Congrats on being #botd.

This book sounds like a wonderful trek with Mohan on his religious journey. Embarking on a journey of personal growth and exploration is often not an easy task and something astounding. Well done to the author on #BOTD

Mount Kailash is so enigmatic and mysterious. People have managed to climb Mount Everest but nobody, for sure, has climbed Mount Kailash. There is a story about a Buddhist climbing one but it cannot be confirmed. Mansarovar Lake is where Ganga starts, it is where Mother Parvati got the blessing to marry Shiva, the ascetic. Congratulations on BOTD and best wishes for future projects.

The pilgrimage to Kailash Manasa Sarova seems intriguing. I guess, apart from the religious tone, the adventures and experiences of the pilgrims are fascinating. Furthermore, the author's narrative skill is an attractive aspect of this book. Sounds interesting!

The circumambulation (parikrama) of Mount Kailash and taking a dip in the sacred waters of Lake Manasarovar are considered highly auspicious in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Many Hindus believe that this is the home of Lord Shiva, where he used to meditate. Thanks for sharing this adventure book on pilgrimage. Congratulations to author #BOTD!

A pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar is thought to be physically, psychologically, and emotionally life-altering and potent... Many Indians aspire to visit them at least once in their lives.
Mr. Rao's writing style appealed to me, and I'm curious about how he handled the land-grabbing incident and his journey to Kailash.
The reviewer's summary is excellent!
Congratulations to the author, Mr. Mohan Ranga Rao.

Great review!
It was not too severe and pious, as books on pilgrimage often are, but it contained infusions of humor that would keep the audience glued to the pages of this beautiful work.
I appreciate the honesty here as I did consider that the content might be a bit over my head (or would make for a very analytical read, at least). It’s good that there is clear awareness of a learning curve for general readers.

Sounds like a great book. I think the author wanted to teach us about the importance of honoring our vows.
