The Natural wonders of India as said by Murli Menon. After having traveled down the Mekong from its source in Tibet through China, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam to the South China Sea in 2006, it had been one of my goals since 1995 to travel down the Holy Ganges. I finally achieved my goal in 2010 through a combination of creative visualization, ZeNLP meditation, and auto-suggestion, combined with a strict vegan diet. Regular exercise, fasting, and a spiritual connection to nature helped me create meaningful coincidences, which guided me every minute during my long and arduous journey through north India in the most severe winters! Having my brick Nikon and Netbook with a 7-hour battery life enabled me to document my journey as it happened to give me the luxury of clicking more than 5000 high-resolution pictures along the way! The trave plan was incredible. I planned to travel 5000 km. Across India, spanning ten states and taking me though New Delhi, Kolkata, Bhubaneshwar, Hyderabad, and Pune. I was planned to raft down the Ganges from Kaudiyala to Rishikesh. Go to the Kumbh Mela in Haridwar, and travel to Kolkata through Allahabad, Varanasi, and Jasidih. From Kolkata, I planned to go to the Sunderban Tiger Reserve, where the Holy Ganges meets the Bay of Bengal. I would travel by boat on each destination on the banks of the river. Being a vegan, who lives on fruits, nuts, seeds, grains, and vegetables, I would photograph all 100% vegan street food and put it on my blog for fellow vegans who want to follow in my footsteps. Being vegan also meant surviving the harsh north Indian winter dressed in Sambalpur kurtas, a khadi shawl, and a light synthetic jacket. I wished to explore the natural wonders at each of the destinations I stayed at and document them in my blog. I have just returned after completing my journey from Kaudiyala to Jharkhand.

Some of the most relaxing moments of my journey were experienced while river rafting down the Ganges, or while boating at Allahabad, climbing the Chitrakut mountain in Jasidih (Jharkhand), during the sunset cruise at Jharkhali in Sunderbans, while on a speedboat on the Chilka lake in Orissa, while trekking inside the Srisailam Tiger Reserve in Andhra Pradesh. I could make time to have a leisurely dip in the Ganges, Krishna, and the Godavari during this trip. The luxury of being able to take unlimited high-resolution digital photographs meant every sunrise and sunset was captured. Every bird during my trip was clicked, and more than 4000 high-resolution pictures are safely backed up in my pen drive, two laptops, and Netbook. Ahmedabad’s journey to Haridwar was uneventful except for the beautiful sunset clicked over Mount Abu’s hills. The train was crowded with devotees proceeding to Haridwar for the Kumbh Mela to reach before 14th January, which was the most auspicious day to take a dip in the Holy Ganges since 1998. By a meaningful coincidence, I met three young ladies at Haridwar station, each from England, Netherlands, and the USA, seeking directions to go to Rishikesh! Soon, all four of us were in a taxi to Rishikesh. The journey took us through the outer fringes of the Rajaji National Park, where we could sight some stump-tailed macaques! After checking-in at the Garhwal Mandal guest house at Rishikesh, we proceeded to Kaudiyala to complete the 42 km. Thrill a minute river rafting experience to return to Rishikesh. While hanging on to the raft in the ice-cold waters of the river in mid-January, body surfing was a bone-chilling experience. 

Kathy, Kristen, and Naomi, who taught English in China, traveled to Rishikesh for a break. After returning to Rishikesh, I headed to Haridwar for the Kumbh Mela. Lakhs of pilgrims from all over India had gathered for a once in a lifetime experience. Taking a dip in the Holy Ganges’ freezing waters at 4:00 a.m. in mid-January reminded me of my dip at Lake Mansarovar in Tibet! However, it was a boon to my immune system as all my cells got rejuvenated after swimming in the placid waters of this mighty river. It indeed is one of the most powerful experiences to discover the power of Mother Nature. Exploring the impromptu food stalls at the Kumbh as a food detective, searching for 100% vegan delicacies (food which does not contain any product of animal origin or even traces of any animal product) was another objective of my travels for my forthcoming book “ZeNLP-the power of veganism.” The food-stalls at the Kumbh had idlis and dosas jostling for space with samosas, dhoklas, and theplas. The severe winter effects were compounded by the chilly winds and slight drizzle that seemed to pervade Rishikesh and Haridwar in January. Warming up near community bonfires and sipping hot ginger juice ( As a strict vegan, I do not drink tea, coffee, or consume sugar due to the chances of adulterating these commodities by-products of animal origin). Also, I do not consume any factory manufactured food-stuffs sold across supermarket shelves. As a strict vegan, I avoid all foodstuffs containing caffeine, chlorine, fluorine, nicotine, and iodine. I prefer to eat fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and grains! I never consume solids after sunset but stick to water fasting! Community bonfires are an ideal socializing venue for finding out about the latest events and knowing the directions to reach the hawkers who sell the most delicious street food in town.  Rafting down the rapidly flowing river from Kaudiyala to Rishikesh in the wee hours of the morning, shrouded in mist and fog, and caressed by a drizzle was a memorable experience. The highlight of the trip was jumping into the ice-cold waters after reaching Rishikesh! The rush of adrenaline as one scurried to the safety of the shore seeking the warmth of the embers, while the body overcame its numbness after a thrill a minute rafting experience, is difficult to describe in words. A good night’s sleep under a thick cotton quilt was enough to rejuvenate one’s aching muscles and numb fingers for the next adventure. The trip from Rishikesh to Haridwar was like moving with a caravan. Thousands of pilgrims walking barefoot to reach Haridwar on 14th January. I met peasants from Bhagalpur, Rabaris from Gujarat, Bauls from West Bengal, villagers from Andhra Pradesh, sadhus from Uttar Pradesh, and gypsies selling everything from sandalwood-paste to vermillion, along the way. It was a “mela” in the real sense of the word! Most of the pilgrims braved the effects of the cold by sleeping outdoors. Many ingenuous devotees slept on the shores of the river to avoid the early morning rush! After reaching Haridwar, one wakes up at midnight to prepare for the trek to the ghats for a dip before the crowd starts to pour in. It is freezing, and visibility is limited to the first three steps one takes. However, one trudges along the narrow path to reach the holy river before dawn and take a rejuvenating bath in the rapids as the sun’s first rays strike the earth. The most exciting part of the experience is numbness in the fingers, making buttoning one’s kurta an achievement in itself! At the ghats, pink-colored ghagras of the rabari women vied for attention with saffron Rajasthani turbans, which were a striking contrast to the sadhus smeared in grey ash. It was a free for all with everyone for himself. Hawkers selling towels had a field day. I planned to travel from Haridwar to Allahabad to complete the next phase of my research on vegan Indian street food. 

Being a food detective, it was interesting to know the ingredients that went into Indian street food, Rs. 10,000 crore industry. I spoke to hawkers, cooks, waiters separately on different days, to reconfirm the ingredients that went into street food. Most of the hawkers were honest and were not aware of my objective in asking the questions, so I replied truthfully. Being a trained ZeNLP master, I could analyze their body language, eye movement, and breathing patterns to reject the few outrageous liars. The proof of the banana is in its eating, and as I am allergic to even micrograms or even picograms or nanograms of animal products in any food, I could make out the culprits from the aroma of the food. One of the most significant advantages of being a pure vegan is gifted with an extremely sensitive olfactory sense. I can smell a minute gas leak in an apartment of my multi-story building with fantastic accuracy. Also, there is an activation of the latent DNA in every cell of the body, making digestion efficient, increasing the blood flow to the palate, and activating the taste buds to make eating a divine experience. Every morsel of food tastes heavenly, be it whole wheat puris (fried in oil) with alu-sabzi (cooked in oil) I had in Benaras, hot steaming idlis and coconut chatni I had at Srisailam, steamed vegetable momos I had at Rishikesh, or the mint coriander chatni I had at Jasisdih. My taste-buds have taken a life of their own since I turned a strict vegan in 1995. The wide array of street food being sold at the Kumbh was mind-boggling. However, as I was looking for 100% pure vegan food, I could ignore the vast majority of foods that contained animal products. But, there were some small pockets which made lip-smacking vegan food, cooked the traditional way. An example of these hidden wonders is seen in the photograph alongside. Fruits and vegetables were found in plenty. The numerous stalls selling fresh sweet-lime juice, nimbu-pani (lime juice) vendors or shops selling almonds, walnuts, and raisins. I had the vegan street food only as a part of my research on vegan food. For most of my travels, I opted for fresh fruits, walnuts, and raisins! This diet is known as a raw vegan diet in ZeNLP. Staying in a tent on the banks of the Holy Ganges was an experience in itself. Waking up at midnight to the soothing, gurgling sounds of flowing water, watching the starlit skies bathed in moonlight in biting cold will be etched on my psyche forever! Meditating on the tiny pebbles that carpeted the river banks made one connect to the primordial elements! Taking a dip in the Holy Ganges on the day of the eclipse was a soothing experience. One could feel the cosmic energy pervading the air as one walked along the river banks to watch the crimson sunset. One could see the play of the elements like fire, water, and earth played their parts to perfection. In the morning, the fog, mist, and frost represent the earth element, the flowing waters at noon, in the sun’s absence, meaning the water element and the crimson sunset was a fitting finale for the fire element. The calm, serenity, peace, and quietness experienced while meditating on a bed of stones while watching the river rapids connect one to the macrocosm. It reminded me of my trek to Kailash Mansarovar along the banks of the Kali river, where I had meditated on giant slabs of stone that were strewn along the river banks. 

Impromptu showers were my constant companion during my trek through Rishikesh to Haridwar. After spending a week exploring the vegan food here, I boarded the Haridwar-Allahabad Express for a foggy journey through the Gangetic plain. Along the way, the only choice for vegans was fresh or dried fruits. As a thumb rule, I never eat food catered by Indian Railways, unless I can see it being cooked in front of me. I prefer the fresh fruits sold by the vendors who frequent the train at the smaller stations on the way. This does mean going without food for many hours or sometimes even days. But being used to water-fasting for three days at a stretch, I do not feel unduly perturbed during long train journeys. Haridwar’s journey to Allahabad was made pleasant by my co-passengers’ warmth, which made me feel comfortable. I also learned many potential places to visit to complete my research for my book on authentic Indian vegan street food! I planned to visit Benares from Allahabad for a week. After taking a dip in the Ganges on three of the most auspicious days, including Makar Sankranti, Surya Grahan, and Mouni Amavasya days, I reached Allahabad in the early morning on Saraswati Puja Day. A dip at the “Triveni Sangam” (confluence point of the Ganga, Saraswati, and Yamuna) when the waters were shrouded with dense fog, was a close encounter with Mother Nature. The boat trip through the rivers had hundreds of migrating Wild Geese surrounding our tiny paddle boat. The banks of Triveni Sangam were not as crowded as the ghats at Haridwar and Rishikesh. However, Allahabad’s vegan street food was no less delicious than the plethora of vegan food I had eaten at the Kumbh Mela. After spending a few days at Allahabad, I took the UPSRTC bus to Benaras. I kept my eyes open, and my camera ready for vegan street food throughout my journey! The soothing sound of the oar moving through the waters broke the silence at dawn, and the chirping of the Wild Geese, as we gently paddled through the placid waters of this translucent ocean, still rings in my ears. The power to deeply relax is within you, and in a few minutes, one can be in a deep state of relaxation by mentally visualizing this serene experience. The boat trip to the Triveni Sangam on a cold and foggy January morning has become one such tranquil experience, hidden deep within! Boating on the Holy Ganges at Benares is different from river rafting from Rishikesh to Kaudiyala or paddling at Triveni Sangam. There are numerous river islands on the opposite side of the river at Benaras. Spending a day at one of these uninhabited islands, meditating to the tune of nature, was one of the highlights of my 5000 km. Journey across India. The Benarasi Alu Dum was entirely vegan, as the boiled baby potatoes tempered with Indian spices were cooked in mustard oil. One could get various sprouts served with a dash of lime juice, mildly spiced and flavored with either wild mint leaves or freshly chopped coriander. Fresh fruits and vegetables were available in plenty at Rishikesh, Haridwar, Allahabad, and Benares. The walnuts, raisins, rajma, and almonds bought at Rishikesh stood out for their excellent quality and taste! Roasted sweet potatoes were another street-side snack that I relished throughout my trip! Lime juice vendors made my day during the long bus journeys. I do not drink any prepackaged water and filled up my water bottle with fresh water (taken from natural sources) at all destinations, be it the mountain streams at Kaudiyala, river rapids at Rishikesh, the flowing waters at Haridwar, Allahabad, Benares, and Jasidih. 

Benares retains a charm of its own and brings back memories of a long bygone era. One takes long walks at dawn and dusk while enjoying the cold weather. Ice cold baths in the early hours of the morning and at sunset energize the body with much needed cosmic energy. However, one must be prepared to wait for the fog and mist to clear before taking a leisurely cruise on the river in the afternoon. A day trip to the river islands with a hamper of fresh fruits and vegetables is ideal for relaxing while staying at Benares. Roasting vegetables in a fire kindled by igniting dried neem leaves impart a herbal flavor to the roasted sweet potatoes.There are large uninhabited islands on the other bank of the Ganges at Benares. These islands are entirely submerged during the monsoons and are unsuitable for permanent habitation. However, it is an ideal haven for large waterbirds who find a sanctuary in the wilderness. One can cross the river on a long-tailed boat in about two hours. The vast expanse of the river almost resembles a large lake or ocean. Meditating on these secluded islands was a religious experience. From Benares, I planned to travel to Jasidih in Jharkhand, via Allahabad. Jasidih is famous for the Chitrakut mountains. I planned to trek up the Chitrakut Hills to discover caves hidden along the way. Much footwork was required to discover small eateries in old Benares’ bylanes, selling colorful and nutritious vegan food. A surprising thing noted at Benares were the idli sellers in the morning, which made idlis as soft as cotton and served it with fresh coconut chutney flavored with sauteed mustard seeds. This entirely vegan breakfast charged me with enough energy for the rest of the day.Being a food detective, it was interesting to know the ingredients that went into Indian street food, Rs. 10,000 crore industry. I spoke to hawkers, cooks, and waiters separately on different days to reconfirm the ingredients of street food.

My taste-buds have taken a life of their own since I turned a strict vegan in 1995.

During the long bus journeys, fresh fruit was always at hand. Be it apples, bananas, chickoos, guavas, or grapes. Peanuts, both roasted and boiled, were also available. A variety of local food, including liti (roasted sattu balls), all dum (spiced, boiled baby potatoes), could also be found at the bus stations. As I avoid eating citrus fruits as they are acidic, I gave the pineapples and oranges a miss. tips4ceos.com vegan food blog will be hosting all the colorful high-resolution pictures of the innumerable vegan street food photographed throughout my journey. Email us if interested to receive the link to our vegan food blog. The most exciting part of traveling on a train from Benares to Jasidih is the ability to get down from the train at the numerous unofficial halts, where one can go to the village well and fill your bottle with freshwater and return to the safety of the train. As the break is unscheduled, the train waits for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Though the weather was cold and foggy and the train was running late by 24 hours, I enjoyed this part of Eastern U. P. and Bihar’s journey. One reached Jasidih station in the wee hours of the morning. The station was shrouded in mist, but one managed to get Deoghar, which is the nearest town and serves as the base camp for the trek to Chitrakut Hills. Deoghar is a quaint little town serving the most delicious puris (fried in locally made groundnut oil) and sabzi (potatoes flavored with cumin and ginger). An ideal piping hot breakfast to keep the effects of the chilly winds at bay. The road journey from Deoghar to Chitrakoot takes 180 minutes. It takes nearly four hours to trek to the top of the hill. The tribals of Jharkhand consider the Chitrakut Hills as sacred and venerate it as a deity. Many long-tailed macaques can be found hidden behind rocks and swinging from the tree-tops during the slow and painful ascent to the top. However, one is in for a pleasant surprise after reaching the peak! Lots of makeshift stalls selling roasted peanuts, lightly spiced sprouts, and green gram. The view from the height of the hill is picturesque! One can get a bird’s eye view of Deogarh and the thick sal forests surrounding it, interspaced with the yellow carpet of mustard flowers swaying in the breeze, on the numerous fields found at the foot of the hills. Meditating in the small caves along the way to the peak and at the summit was a powerfully relaxing experience. Enjoying the panoramic views from the conference reminded me of my trek to Om Parvat in Kumaon. 

The descent from the hill is through various shades of green. The sound of birds chirping and the shrill cries of the macaques break the stillness in the air. There are a few tribal huts along the way, where one can catch one’s breath and quench one’s thirst by drinking the crystal clear mineral water of the several tiny streams that criss-cross one’s bridle path. The hill’s giant cliff face can be seen during the long and winding trek through the thick groves. Deogarh’s return trip is a pleasant drive through lakes, mustard fields, forests, and countryside. The vegan food at Deogarh and Jasidih was extremely economical. The vegetables were fresh and extremely tasty. The accommodation was clean and offered value for money. From Jasidih, I planned to travel to Kolkata for spending a week inside the Sunderban Tiger Reserve, where the Holy Ganges meets the Bay of Bengal. The journey from Jasidih to Howrah took nearly six hours. At Kolkata, I had the pleasure of boating on the Holy Ganges at Kalighat. I had followed the Holy Ganges’ route from its source in Gaumukh to the Sunderbans, where it merged into the ocean! At Kolkata, I planned to visit Old Kolkata to locate vegan recipes and street food for my vegan food blog and forthcoming book. Later, I planned to reach Jharkhali village in the Sunderbans, via Canning. From Jharkhand, I planned to visit the interiors of the Sunderbans while camping overnight on a boat. It is indeed unbelievable that a pocket of tranquility exists just a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of Kolkata. The long cruise through Sunderbans’ backwaters is an ideal tonic to destress one’s body, mind, and soul. As a bonus, I could also click some picture postcard-like photos of the sunset at Jharkhali and Sonagali. Trying to spot the elusive Royal Bengal tiger at Sunderbans requires a tremendous amount of faith and patience. The wait could be a few hours, days, or weeks. But stump-tailed macaques and a variety of large waterbirds can be easily sighted. The mangrove forest cover is rapidly receding due to industrialization pressures, and unless replantation drives are carried out as a priority, one of nature’s most serene spots may become a long lost memory. Meditating on the roof of the rocking boat as it gently swayed in the rolling waves, on a full moon’s night when surrounded by dense forests, with the sounds of bats, crickets and owls was an endearing experience. Just the stillness of the night, the slapping sound of the waves, the soothing moonlight, and the jungle sounds put me to a deep and dreamful sleep throughout our boat safari through the Sunderbans. From the Sunderbans, I intended to travel back to Kolkata and head for Bhubaneshwar en route to the Chilka Lake, spend a week bird-watching at Chilka Bird Sanctuary. From Chilka, I would be proceeding to Hyderabad en route to the Srisailam Tiger Reserve in Andhra Pradesh. But, my body, mind, and soul were rejuvenated with fresh energy after being bathed in the elements all through my journey from Kaudiyala to Jharkhand. I could finally get some Kerala bananas (those small bananas with seeds) near Jharkhand villages. At 1 Rupee, a banana, it was a steal compared to the 10 Baht I paid in Thailand and 1 Ringgit I spent in Malaysia! 

The journey from Kolkata to Bhubaneshwar gives one enough time to have a good night’s sleep. I hit the pillow as soon as I boarded the train and awoke to alight at Bhubaneshwar Station in the morning. From Bhubaneshwar, I proceeded to Balugaon, the base camp for Chilka Lake’s trips. I met the forest officials at Chilka, who arranged my visit to the Chilka Bird Sanctuary’s core areas by a speed boat. The incredible pictures clicked during this speed boat trip tells its own story. A speedboat ride on the blue mirror-like surface of Chilka Lake is a hypnotizing experience. One can see water as far as one’s eye can see. The four-hour boat ride through the sanctuary allowed me to sight the bald Eagle, Brahminy Kite, Coppersmith Barbet, and several other colorful birds. Some of the other species of birds that can be sighted during the boat cruise along Chilka include Bronze Winged Jacana, Purple Heron, Grand Coucal, Green Billed Malpuha, Great Egret, Oriental Magpie Robin, Chinese Pond Heron, Roufus Woodpecker, Whiskered Tern, and Great Egret amongst numerous others. The boat trip across Chilka Lake takes you to an ancient Kali Temple at the Lake’s center. This temple is known as the Kalijai Temple and must stop for all boat crises-crossing this giant Lake. The view from the temple is spectacular. From Chilka, I returned to Bhubaneshwar to catch the Konark Express to Hyderabad en route to Srisailam Tiger Reserve. Bhubaneshwar’s vegan delights were scattered around the old city, and I had to painstakingly explain my objective to all the street-side vendors. Outside the station, a stall selling hot idlis with coconut chutney and medu-vadas did brisk business. I could sample some excellent vegan dishes at Jharkhali, Balugaon, and Bhubaneshwar. The journey from Bhubaneshwar to Hyderabad was relaxing, as I started documenting my travel experience into my Netbook and took some much-needed rest in the train. We arrived at Secunderabad Station in the morning, and almost immediately, I took the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus to Srisailam. Hyderabad’s six-hour journey to Srisailam is through a long and winding road that makes its way up the Srisailam hills. The last two hours of the bus ride is through the Srisailam Tiger Reserve. Srisailam is a canopy of green overlooking the cobalt blue waters of the Krishna river. Early in the morning, one can see vendors steaming idlis on the road-side and serving it hot with coconut chutney, both wrapped in freshly cut plantain leaves. At Srisailam Town, one can see large rectangular Tawa’s used to make four dosas at a time, outside the famous eating joints. From the samosas of Rishikesh to the alu dum of Benares through the litis of Jasidih to the Baingan bhaja of Jharkhali via the dum alu of Balugaon, I had reached the humble idlis of Srisailam town.

Srisailam offers a plethora of activities for tourists. One can take the ropeway to the Srisailam dam and take a leisurely cruise on the Krishna river. The beauty of the rapidly flowing Krishna river through the verdant Srisailam valley is a much-needed sight for sore eyes. Boating on the Krishna River is far different compared to the steady cruise at the Sunderbans. The rapidly flowing waters and large rocks were strewn across the river make navigating and boating an adventurous experience. The trip through the Srisailam Tiger Reserve offers a bird’s eye view of the Krishna river’s flowing rapids. The gleaming sunlight reflected in the crystal clear waters makes the river appear like a silvery rivulet snaking through the green valley. From Hyderabad, I planned to travel to Tryambakeshwar via Manmad and further to Bhimashankar Hills near Pune, before flying back to Ahmedabad, directly from Pune, to complete a 5000 km. Circular journey, which took me to all four corners of India. The more one sees of the Krishna river. The more one is tempted to see it. I returned to Hyderabad in the late hours of the night and, after a well deserved night’s rest, set out to board the Kakinada-Manmad Express to Manmad. Taking a dip in Krishna’s cold waters at dawn and dusk had rejuvenated me with new energy to reach the Godavari and Narmada. In six weeks, I would be completing a round trip around India. As I have already taken a dip in the Kaliganga at Malpa, in the Indus at Leh, and in the Kaveri at Srirangapatanam, I consider myself lucky to have visited all the major rivers of India in my thirties! Of course, I have had the good fortune of river rafting the Kinabatangang and Longongong rivers in Malaysia, boating on the Mekong in Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Burma. Also, I have visited Kailash Mansarovar in Tibet twice. On a speed boat at Chilkha lake. River rafting down the Holy Ganga at Rishikesh. On the ropeway at Srisailam. Flying with the Siberian geese at Benares.Chitrakut hills at Devghar in Jharkhand. Sunset over Sundarbans Tiger Reserve
