Vikrant Pande and Neelesh Kulkarni’s quest to retrace the trail of Rama’s fabled travels during his years in exile began with their trying to locate Chitrakoot on the map and realizing that they had little idea where it might be. Curious about the places mentioned in the Ramayana, they set off on a journey of their own, following Rama’s route from Ayodhya to the Dandakaranya forest and Panchavati (near Nashik) and on to Kishkindhya (close to Hampi), Rameshwaram and Sri Lanka. Along the way they would discover how closely the narrative of the Ramayana is linked to local folklore, and how the stories of the Ramayana and the moral framework that binds them together still speaks to the people who live in the land across which Rama, Sita and Lakshman made their journey.For the armchair traveller as well as the enthusiast for epic tales, this is a wonderful book with which to revisit the world of the Ramayana.

This is the best travelogue I have ever read. The best part of the book is about my favourite subject, “Prabhu Rama”
As you read it’s take you to places where our Prabhu went, that too seamlessly. Very well written and most of the places covered. I being the ardent follow of Prabhu Rama, I found lot many stories which I was not aware of.
If you are Prabhu Rama’s follower, this must be in your collection
