About the Book
The book describes a 6-week trek by two Canadian geologists across southern India and Sri Lanka in 1994. One of them was a native of India who had lived part of his youth in India and was familiar with Indian ways and customs. This made the trip a more in-depth experience than would have been the case had we been simple tourists. The story is presented as a travel log based on nearly 1000 photographs – about half of which are shown in the book – supplemented by a diary or logbook meticulously kept by the author during the entire journey. The book covers both touristic activities and non-technical geological observations.

I am an avid world traveler with a deep appreciation for nature and adventure. My journeys—both for work and leisure—have taken me across much of the globe, with extensive exploration in Europe, Africa, the Americas, India, and China. From 1995 until my retirement in June 2008, I managed International Development projects for the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), focusing primarily on Latin America and Africa. Prior to that, my career as a geologist led me to mineral exploration projects throughout Canada, including the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. In my free time, I pursue my passions for travel, photography, and genealogy, delving into both new landscapes and my family history. Since retiring, I’ve been able to dedicate time to compiling a significant portion of the thousands of photographs I’ve captured since purchasing my first camera in 1969—turning them into visually rich, illustrated storybooks.
