BOOK REVIEW :
If you’re on the hunt for a book that transcends genres and offers a profound blend of travel, spirituality, and introspection, "Tripping Down the Ganga" is a title you can’t miss. As my first spiritual non-fiction memoir of 2025, it has left a lasting impression, offering a nuanced exploration of faith, self-discovery, and the intricate relationship between religion and culture.
The book consists of total seven parts. In these parts the author has accumulated his travel experience along with spiritual views and interaction of seven pilgrimage site along the Ganga, between 2015 and 2022.
The author has put multiple aspects in this title from conversion with monks , philosophical theories, and lastly his own understanding of the particular place and thoughts.
The inclusion of photographs is a thoughtful touch, adding an intimate layer to the storytelling by visually capturing the essence of his journey.
All the parts and chapters in this title has its own important significance however I have enjoyed the part five where Siddharth has taken me to Varanasi. Here I would like to appreciate him for such a detailed description and make me travel through the city once again.
“Tripping Down the Ganga” is a book that speaks to readers of all kinds—whether you are a fan of travel memoirs, intrigued by the spiritual nuances of everyday life, or simply seeking a fresh perspective on Hinduism. It offers moments of introspection, instances of awe, and a deeply human understanding of faith and devotion.
This isn’t just a book; it’s a journey, and one that I’d highly recommend embarking on.
