My soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance.
O Great Beyond, O the keen call of thy flute!”
Route in purple – red is flights.
From 1878 to 1932 the Bengali polymath Rabindranath Tagore visited more than thirty countries on five continents. Our search for “far-away things” is a much shorter odyssey. We will travel by train south from Delhi through the state of Madya Pradesh, to see temples and forts, and perhaps tigers in Bhandavghar. Then we turn west to Bhopal and into the hot, coastal state of Gujarat, home of the Rann of Kutch and the last Asian lions. Next we go south down the coast to Mumbai (Bombay) and the temples of Ajanta and Ellora, spending Christmas in Goa.
In the new year we travel east to Hampi and then south again through Karnataka to the city of Mysuru (Mysore). And then it’s down the coast again to Kerala, finally flying to Sri Lanka for the last two weeks to visit Jaffna.
So a big welcome to those of you joining the journey, as we travel with “the skirt of the dim distance” ever receding before us.

I’m looking forward to the many verandahs we expect to encounter and I expect there will be pictures of me sitting on them …
