Review

Shankara: The Mansarovar Odyssey by Anuj Tikku is a wonderful book that tells about his journey to #mansarovar.His experience with the group, the stay there and everything is described in a crisp way that keeps the reader hooked throughout.



The beautiful pictures shared by the author adds spark to the book. From food to culture the author explains about the temples, their importance. The language used by the author is simple. The narration of the book is crisp and engaging.

There were certain errors which I didn’t like. The book needs proper editing. There are certain details which are repeated.

The author has shared some tips which are practical and can help one. The backdrop of Tibet is beautifully portrayed. I liked how the author shared his experience. It felt like I was talking to a friend. This book can be your travel guide for Mansarovar.

Overall it’s a light and quick read that you can pick up.
