1. Journey to the Himalayas
an elevating experience
A tribute to our
Master – Swami

2. They say that life is incomplete without
getting a glimpse of the Himalayas…I always
felt it as an exaggeration.
… until I went there.

3. About the book
On 26th May 2015, two of us undertook an 18-
day journey to the Himalayas. The book
Journey to the Himalayas is an attempt to take
you along with us in the journey. We are sure
that the pictures that we captured along with
our experiences will tempt you, rather force
you, to go and see the mighty king of the
mountains – The Himalayas – at least once in
your life.

4. Away from the hustle-bustle of the city life,
amongst the mountains and valleys, 10000
feet above the sea-level where one the air
stands still and one gets mesmerized by the
beauty all around him…starts the journey
within.
From lone to alone all alone

5. Objective of this book
Life just fades away as we stand by the winds
of time and no sooner we realize that we had
barely lived.
One can set oneself free among the Himalayas
and discover his own self deep within. We feel
that our experiences will urge you to set your
foot on the Himalayas.

6. Our Inspiration
Swami
Chinmayananda
Wanderings in the Himalayas

Tapovanam
My trek through Uttarakhand
– a travelogue by Swami

nothing but
a reflection
of what is
inside.
