Through the travelogue 'The Call of Kailash Mansarovar, Mr. Hari Om breaks and adds a lot to the travel narrative genre. Mr. Arun Prakash has written in 'The Identity of Prose' that 'a traveller must not only have a map of the destination, but also, a healthy perspective. Dr. Hari Om possesses that healthy and concise approach, through which, he presents a pilgrimage in a captivating narrative. In this journey, Dr. Hari Om not only contemplates on religion, spirituality etc. in a logical manner, but also. conducts socio-psychological analyses along the way. This concern also persists within him as to how 'the fog and sallowness of religion has stolen the colour from the beautiful environment of our country. The imbalance between development and environment has been strongly underlined in it. Kailash Mansarovar is situated in Tibet which is now under China. In the journey, the prosperity of China can be seen face to face with the destitution of Nepal. 'The question of health and cleanliness gets buried under faith and belief. Along with thrill and interest, there is amazing storytelling in this travel narrative. Along with the religious and spiritual aspects, this book will undoubtedly prove to be helpful in understanding the geography, society, environment, diplomacy, development and cultural-political relations of India, Nepal, Tibet and China.

Will we make it? That's the question Kavitha and her cousin, Pallu, ask themselves as they trek through Himalayan pine forests and unforgiving mountains in Nepal and Tibet. Their goal: to reach Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar. The two women walk to ancient monasteries, meditate on freezing slopes, dance on the foothills of Kailash, and confront death in the thin mountain air. In Kailash and Manasarovar, the holiest of Hindu and Buddhist sites, they struggle to reconcile their rationalist views with faith and the beloved myths of their upbringing. Remarkably, it is this journey that helps them discover the meaning of friendship. Walking in Clouds is a beautifully crafted memoir of a journey to far-away places and to the places within. It mixes lyrical, descriptive storytelling with stunning photographs to bring to life a unique travelogue.

There are places in this world that 'call' us in a way that simply cannot beignored. For me, Kailash was such a place. In the nineteen-nineties when I made this journey it was not an area of the world much frequented by westerners. Many in Tibet, India and Nepal aspired to make this journey but only a few were ever able to actually do it. Mount Kailash is one of those places that exist in this world and yet has the look and feel of being not of this world. It is indeed a physical location but it somehow touches another realm altogether.It is a place where miracles can and do happen. This is a true tale of adventure in high and distant places. A tale of two western women, who, with the help of three Nepali men trekked through the remote and high mountain wilderness of Western Nepal and Tibet to fulfil a long-held dream.
