ABOUT THE BOOK
Mansarovar, the enchanted, ethereal lake may be on the bucket list of many travel lovers. But going there on bicycle was a wild idea, meticulously planned, that went flat on day one. In this engaging travelogue chronicled by a chatty bicycle, nine cycles are ridden to this amazing destination,01 supported ably by a junk-food gobbling, gossiping and giggling bunch of five.

The storyteller cycle revels in the beauty of the land that is Tibet, imbibes the elements of nature right up to the Parikrama of Mount Kailash, soaks up the enthralling history of the place and sponges in the geography to present a sometimes philosophical, but mostly graphical,tickled and a peppy view. The view and narrative from the surface of the winding, windy, dusty, sunny Tibet roads, climbing inexorably to high mountain passes and plunging into the valleys of Shangri-La, will roll you into another world. Here cultures clash, temperatures plummet, comforts shrivel, friendships blossom and spirits acquire wings. Come savor the ‘high life’ to Lord Shiva’s abode, on wheels!

When a bicycle tells a tale of travel (summary)
Ahmedabad: Kailash Mansarovar: Cycle Rides Soul Journeys, by Anita Karwal and Anurita Rathore was releases in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

Gujarat cadre IAS officer Anita Karwal said on the sidelines of her book launch that the higher you go, the more magical, mystical and spiritual you feel. it is a tough journey but not a tiring one, everybody needs to get close to nature and experience that peace. This book was co-authored by former journalist Anurita Rathore.

The travelogue which is written from a cycle's point of view is about the 550 km cycle journey from Nyalam to Horseshoe in Tibet made by a dozen odd travelers which was associated with Ahmedabad Bicycle Club about three years ago.“Through the book we try to relive the entire journey in a manner that the reader feels that he is right on the spot. When we reached Mount Kailash, we felt we were really in front of Kailash. So we thought that there is a case to write a book about it,” said Anurita. the story symbolizes the beauty of Tibet, imbibes the elements of nature right up to the Parikrama of Mount Kailash soaks up the history of the place and geography to present an account of the trip.

The tribute here goes to Harsh Shah, the President of the Ahmedabad Bicycle Club who was travelling to Leh and Ladakh and wanted to explore something different.He managed to form the team who traveled to Horseshoe from Nyalam.
