Wander Years is an adventurous amalgamation of a travel chronicle and roving memoir. It feasts your appetite for journeys within India and to foreign shores with exploratory tales of exciting discoveries where, leaving aside life's treadmill, you traverse destinations as varied and diverse as the lavish temples and grand palaces of South India, the forts of Rajputana, the staggering ranges of the snow-covered Himalayas in Sikkim, and the sweeping tea gardens of Darjeeling; the fullness of forests with arcane tribes in Andaman and Nicobar Islands; the mangrove deltas of Bengal and the Saranda forests of Orissa. Further on, you travel from the white and blue of Goa beaches to the magnificence of the Deep South and the backwaters of God's own country with verdant and lush valleys, elephants and the mythical hills of spices. The ochre-yellow deserts with miles upon miles of sand dunes, the Sultanate of Oman with the souks of Muscat, the tents of the Bedouins, the vast African grasslands with Masai huts and backdrop of roaming wild herds of the East African savannah, the lion's hunt; the moon shining silvery on dark waters, the indigo blue of infinite oceans with stunningly colourful coral reefs, dolphins crossing the bows of your ship as the vessel cuts through liquid phosphorescence; the grand Kingdom of Thailand with ancient Siam and mystical Marine Caves... A bewildering kaleidoscope of people and places with their lore and history!
