    For

    Deepika my wife…

    This book is a result of your sacrificing nature. The tremendous support you

    have provided me over the years has enabled me to discover the author in

    myself. This book is dedicated to your selfless nature. Your hidden hand is

    visible in every word of this book and I would like to accept that this book is

    as much mine as yours. Writing this book without your support would have

    been tough. You have smoothened my path by managing everything single-

    handedly during my long absence from home. Not to speak of your

    soothing presence which motivates me to work longer and harder.

    Thanks for those endless cups of fresh ginger and tulsi herbal infusion

    which have kept me active and for your innovative zero stress vegan

    cooking which increased my effectiveness and efficiency. Thanks for not

    watching television. Thanks for not going to watch movies. Just because

    you couldn’t do these without me and I couldn’t accompany you, as I was

    busy travelling. Thanks for not buying milk and willingly following my vegan

    diet. Words are insufficient to communicate my gratitude for packing my

    bags and thoughtfully including everything I needed in the remotest

    corners of this planet. Thanks for paying the bills during my absence from

    home. Thanks a ton, chotu, for being my pillar of strength during our initial

    turbulent days at Bengaluru.

    Preface

    This book is a result of fifteen years of painstaking work and repeated

    journeys to some of the most interior and inaccessible areas in India. We

    undertook these pilgrimages, as we wanted to discover hidden pockets of

    tranquility, where one could relax to the tune of nature. We were guided

    to all destinations featured in this book by hidden meaningful coincidences,

    which enabled us to meet the right person at the right time. I would like to

    recount my personal experience which has transformed my life.

    On January 1st'1995, I had one of the most traumatic experiences of my 28

    years of existence on planet earth. I was returning home after a New Year's

    party at Jayanagar in Bengaluru, when I had a head-on collision with a

    truck. I was wearing a helmet, yet had a serious head injury, which resulted

    in organic damage to the right fronto-parietal lobe of my brain. This

    haemoharrage prevented blood flow to my right brain resulting in complete

    paralysis of the left side of my body. Doctors at Manipal Hospital were

    brave enough to declare me a vegetable for life, as blood flow to my right

    brain had been obstructed for eight hours and I went into coma. The

    subsequent surgical interventions meant total dependency on powerful

    anti-epileptic drugs for the rest of my life!

    After about a week of drifting in and out of coma, I regained consciousness.

    However, the left side of my body continued to be dead weights. Slowly but

    surely, I recovered from paralysis by combining Zen meditation with NLP

    (Neuro Linguistic Programming). I was regularly practicing meditation and

    creative visualisation before my accident. I knew that mind power could

    cure any disease including amnesia, epilepsy and paralysis. By practicing

    ZeNLP, I regained back my health in a short span of three months. I decided

    that as I had been given a new life, I would dedicate it to the cause of

    environment protection. I made a list of goals and put them in writing.

    On the first anniversary of my accident, I decided to spend the New Year's

    Eve at a forest resort, which is an eight-hour drive from Bengaluru. The

    Bilagiri Rangan Hills or B.R. Hills is a reserved forest, which is approximately

    300 km. south of Bengaluru. On 30th December'1995, I took the KSRTC

    (Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation) bus to B.R. Hills and arrived

    6

    there at around 8 p.m. Early morning, I decided to take a trek around my

    guest-house, when I found a group of tourists proceeding into the forests

    for sightseeing. One of the passengers of the jeep happened to be my

    student and he asked me to join them in their safari.

    Unknown forces were propelling me into an adventure,
